She probably earned every penny.

[–] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 122 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I'm honestly surprised. This is the sort of horrible job that immigrants are usually stuck doing.

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 43 points 1 week ago (1 children)

She looks like she could be his daughter. I couldn't find anything on her age, does anyone know?

[–] Sludgehammer@lemmy.world 97 points 1 week ago (4 children)

Well a quick search says she was born in 1988, and Adams was born in 1957. They were married in 2019, so she would have been 31 and he would have been 62. So yes, easily within the age of a daughter.

I thought she was much younger from a pic I saw. At least he was in the legal age range.

Edit: This is the pic I was referring to. Kind of shitty to show him in the 90's with it, lol.

[–] ilinamorato@lemmy.world 37 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I was 32 when my daughter was born. This makes me feel more than a little bit queasy.

[–] deadbeef79000@lemmy.nz 16 points 1 week ago

Rightly so.

She had to endure 2 years of him and him telling her how she can use her mouth. She's underpaid.

He died this week didn't he?

[–] NullPointerException@lemmy.ca 95 points 1 week ago (3 children)

And almost nobody noticed. I used to read Dilbert, I bought his books and loved them. But the racism was always there, in Asok jokes and even in the Elbonians.

[–] sbv@sh.itjust.works 48 points 1 week ago

Most of the tech communities I participate in mentioned his death. Dilbert's cultural relevance ended a few decades ago, but it was a pretty big deal during the .com boom.

[–] antonim@lemmy.dbzer0.com 23 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

The official White House Twitter account posted about his death, it was pretty noticeable. 😬

They even used an AI-generated cartoon panel.

[–] kungen@feddit.nu 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

So the guy on the right is dead, is it foreshadowing for those other two guys in the pic?

Well, he at the very least, probably didn't refer to her as an "insta thot"

Please explain to someone who never had an insta account, what is an insta thot?

Also, please explain to a poor person, what is a 2 year prenup pension?

Edit: thanks everyone. I feel highly educated now.

[–] OshagHennessey@lemmy.world 68 points 1 week ago (5 children)

Insta = Instagram

THOT = That Ho Over There

Prenup = Prenuptual agreement, which is a contract two people sign before they get married, usually to determine who will get what in the event of a divorce. It's usually used to avoid lengthy and costly divorce proceedings.

Pension = An older type of retirement account

So, that ho on Instagram stayed married to him for two years, fulfilling the terms of their prenuptial agreement, entitling her to full divorce benefits, which will be about half of this guy's fortune, which should be enough for her to retire on.

Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

[–] prettybunnys@piefed.social 1 points 2 days ago

Damn if she’d held out a liiiiiiittle longer she coulda had it all

Smart cookie

[–] RotSteinFinke@feddit.org 41 points 1 week ago

Never knew THOT is an acronym. I always just read it as a new slang word.

[–] Rooster326@programming.dev 7 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Why was the prenup 2 years? Do most prenup have a minimum time till you get all their money?

[–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 26 points 1 week ago (5 children)

Prenups can have whatever in them. Common is for the poorer person to get nothing or a limited part of the other person's wealth. Idea is to avoid giving away 50% of your shit if you're rich. But there's no set rules about what the terms can be.

I'm assuming Dilbert guy just wanted to have at least 2 years worth of sex if he was gonna give her a bunch of money in a divorce.

An instance thot is a lady who posts lewd pictures of herself on Instagram.

A 2 year prenup meant that she had to be married to him for 2 years before getting access to the Dilbert money.

[–] milk@discuss.tchncs.de 15 points 1 week ago (1 children)

An instance thot should be the fediverse version of an insta thot

I mean it’s just a thing two people agree to and sign before they get married. You could have your lawyer put anything in a prenup, it’s just most people only give a fuck about the money and assets.

[–] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 31 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Yeah it's uncommon, but not unheard of for there to even be sexual components to a prenup.

Internet stories get exaggerated fast. Real people and relationships are always more complex than a single viral narrative.

[–] Virtvirt588@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago

That is true. To be fair, Lemmy had its times where apparent "experts" deduced insane claims from quick glances of images. But it shows that judging the book by its cover is a real thing, and it applies to anything.

[–] Saapas@piefed.zip 18 points 1 week ago

He might've been fine with railing her for two years for whatever money she got out of it. I guess that would've been a win-win

[–] sauerkrautsaul@lemmus.org 18 points 1 week ago

dilbert fuckin sucked assholes

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 14 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Fair play to both of them tbh.

[–] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 13 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Actually a good sport to only require a two-year prenup. Rush Limbaugh made his "wives" sign ten-year prenups and being married to Limbaugh has to be worse than being married to the Dilbert dude.

[–] Nalivai@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Imagine how insufferable Dilbert dude actually ~~is~~ (was! forgot about this delightful fact). You ask him to pass the salt, he goes into this long tirade in this mocking voice, about how he's the only capable person in the room and all the stupid femoids are too woke to even get their own salt, and if you roll your eyes he will get angry and throw a tantrum.

Ok ok ok. Now that the comment section has been explained "insta thot", does anyone have source!?

[–] Akasazh@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Non-passerine

Apparently the passerines are the largest bird group, but I fail to see the relevance here, somehow.
