Maggie's Farm

We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.

The pursuit of happiness


"Happiness" is a hopelessly vague term. However, feeling miserable, anxious, and depressed is not happy. Unhappy is thus easier to define.


Really, Scott Adams is preaching here (at about the 40-minute point) about how to make your life good, or better. It is not very much about race.

I'd like the Good Stuff, after all the stinking rotten stuff we've gotten from Dirty Old Joe so far, but if we can't get just the Good Stuff, then give me the Bad Stuff with the Good Stuff. Anything is better than what the Leftocrats have dumped on us for the past two plus years.

Also, I don't watch Bill Maher despite his recent epiphanies, and I don't really know who Scott Adams is.

Something is broken at dilbert.com ... used to have his daily strip, now appears to redirect to some generic content farm.

Maybe hacked?

After he was brave enough or foolish enough in some people's minds to voice his own opinion about race he was banished from the kingdom. He justly stated that if a particular race wants only to hurt you or do you in then move away from them. We did three years ago and feel much more comfortable and safer than being around people and that includes whites that really don't like us. He was not permitted to say things he believed. Trying to pick up the monetary pieces I expect.

Contentment is more obtainable.
Maybe Adams wanted to get away from the Omni Consumer Products world that made him take the depopulation shot?
He was on fire in the winter of 2019-2020 and I thought he was Pureblood for life.
There had to be some outside influence.
He didn't say anything that bad but reality is the mortal enemy of the (Uni) Party.
