@DeborahDelores @revelfemme @janedudik It's not nice to make fun of the dead.

[Scott Adams @DilbertCreator]

who is missy? 😭 do you mean SISSY Spacek?

[Jillian 🌻 @BeeWitchtt]

@missusmagi The still of Missy is before she has a look exactly like the last panel. So yeah missy also has a centered close up

@DeborahDelores @revelfemme @janedudik World's most well adjusted misogynist:

[Scott Adams @DilbertCreator]

@EvilMacrameOwl English words are only really used to illustrate a point. "A gol" isn't a rearranging of "a cat" or "a dog", it's a nonce word that here means "the heads of a dog and a cat".

@IssaRobbortR @dannooze (I guess they're both probably riffing on Chinatown)

[Scott Adams @DilbertCreator]

@IssaRobbortR @dannooze That's kinda also just Chinatown except it's the husband not the wife and there's no non-human sidekick. As far as I remember

@Matthewmatical @AWAKE_AT_354_AM Systematicity basically means parts of language can be broken down into still meaningful bits so like you can break A, B, and C into the parts that refer to the dog and the cat. As a further example if it said "cats" you could break that down into "cat" and "-s" making it plural

@Matthewmatical @AWAKE_AT_354_AM *Local to themselves not to each other.

[Scott Adams @DilbertCreator]

@Matthewmatical @AWAKE_AT_354_AM This is from a paper about two aspects of natural language, systematicity and locality. B is local because all the letters in "A gol" and "a nar" respectively are local to each other, letters that are part of one unit can't just be anywhere. (1)

[Scott Adams @DilbertCreator]

@Matthewmatical @AWAKE_AT_354_AM *B you can't break into parts that refer to the dog and the cat, but you can break it into parts that refer to different things (the heads and the bodies).

[Scott Adams @DilbertCreator]

@Matthewmatical @AWAKE_AT_354_AM D is holistic rather than systematic because you can't break down "vek" into different parts that each mean "cat" and "dog", it's just "vek". Similarly the words "cat" and "dog" are individually holistic, you can find separate any part of the word "cat" and have it be meaningful

@redrummarts like god
just go clean shaven man
nothing about this look is Working

[Scott Adams @DilbertCreator]

@redrummarts had to look up who you're talking about and ohh I think I clicked on one of his videos a long time ago and had to click off because he has one of those disgusting dense wiry black beards that hurt me to look at

[Scott Adams @DilbertCreator]

@inmyheadrf Yeah we've all been 16 before

[Scott Adams @DilbertCreator]

@Nepepperoni Ngl thought you were lying at first but apparently it was a regional thing lol
