Goose is the only non-passerine emoji I have
something something dilburnt
Ok ok ok. Now that the comment section has been explained “insta thot”, do anyone have source!?
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
Internet stories get exaggerated fast. Real people and relationships are always more complex than a single viral narrative.
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.
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.
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.
Never knew THOT is an acronym. I always just read it as a new slang word.
Why was the prenup 2 years? Do most prenup have a minimum time till you get all their money?
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.
Oh that’s wild. So it’s his own fault in a way.
He put a timer on his marriage.
Oh he must’ve known she wouldn’t stay for long. It’s all in him lol
Why get married then is beyond me. He’s got money, could just pay for the girlfriend experience and have one high end girl on retainer for that.
Seconding the guy who said you can put whatever you want in a prenup
Thanks !
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.
An instance thot should be the fediverse version of an insta thot
Lol… I’m leaving it.
Here’s the explanation from someone who doesn’t know either : an insta thot is a girl who lives on the instagrams, and is hot. The T is silent.
A 2y prenup pension is a roof over your head for 2 years before you start doing either pullups, or pushups (your choice).THOT = That Ho Over There
Cheers. (I got my eye on you, J-quallin)
Ah…the things we do for love. /s
Non-passerine
Apparently the passerines are the largest bird group, but I fail to see the relevance here, somehow.
They were looking for a roadrunner
Well, he at the very least, probably didn’t refer to her as an “insta thot”
We don’t know that. He could totaly have talked to an acquaintance and referred to her as an “insta thot”.
As a man, I have heard people (men and women) talk about “pretty” people and how they want to date them. I have seen many people date many people.
But weirdly, while i have seen people call other people thot, I haven’t heard anyone call their gf an insta thot. Strange… it is almost as if it is jealousy.
It’d have to be insta thoh because thot stands for that hoe over there
No you don’t see, this is about female empowerment! Woo, go girl, get that money selling your body!
I mean, if she finds it less degrading and more reliable than selling her body in other ways (stacking boxes in a warehouse or occupying a desk chair for 4400 hours), yeah.
She probably earned every penny.
Might’ve been a fair exchange for products and services
I applaud anyone taking money from a fascist.
Except IBM, Hugo Boss, etc.
I believe they mean seizing the money, not exchanging it for equivalent value.
However I despise anyone fucking a fascist
I know what you’re trying to say here, but this is all of the US government, ICE, etc.
I’m honestly surprised. This is the sort of horrible job that immigrants are usually stuck doing.
She looks like she could be his daughter. I couldn’t find anything on her age, does anyone know?
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.
He forgot the “plus seven” part of “half your age plus seven”.
I was 32 when my daughter was born. This makes me feel more than a little bit queasy.
Life goals, my friend.
Rightly so.
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.

My parents were 1959 and I am early 80s so absolutely daughter age.
She had to endure 2 years of him and him telling her how she can use her mouth. She’s underpaid.
A 2 year prenup exists?
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.
Yeah it’s uncommon, but not unheard of for there to even be sexual components to a prenup.
Wait really, sexual stuff? Couldn’t they use contracts to make prostitution legal then?
You can’t use a contract to make something illegal, legal. But in all but name you kind of can make it legal. You have to have sex with me everyday, after 2 years you get a fifth of my stuff.
Also it’s almost impossible to get courts to actually enforce the sexual part of a contract. They just won’t get involved in that stuff for the most part.
He died this week didn’t he?
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.
he became more outwardly right wing at the time trump came around
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.
The official White House Twitter account posted about his death, it was pretty noticeable. 😬
So the guy on the right is dead, is it foreshadowing for those other two guys in the pic?
🤞
Rest in piss.
Killed by his own so-embarassed-at-being-Scott-Adams-junk-that-i’d-rather-be-a-tumor-than-a-prostate junk.
And nothing of value was lost
Yep
dilbert fuckin sucked assholes
Trash accumulates.
Yeah let’s celebrate prostitution, so empowering!
Sex work is work. As long as a person enters into that work wilfully and can legally consent to it, it’s functionally no different than a labourer selling their body in labour constructing a building, painting a house, or digging a trench. Denigrating sex workers serves no purpose beyond needlessly moralising the choices of consenting adults.
I agree with you, but…does this qualify as sex work?
She entered into the agreement of her own volition (as far as we know) and was of an age to do so.
If her intention was to provide sex (and companionship, because that’s sometimes and important component) in exchange for the payday after the 2 years then I’d classify that as sex work, though a more long term contracting kind of work.
If she was in it for the relationship and it just didn’t work out then no, it’s just a failed relationship with a bonus payout.
But i’ll concede that my perspective isn’t necessarily the norm, as i put quite a bit of emphasis on intent.
To me it’s weird to classify sex work as something different to any other job from a labour perspective.
I understand there are unique challenges, but i think a lot of that could be solved with decent regulation and support.
The fact that there’s a whole bunch of legal (and cultural) moralising around it is a big part of the problem, though not all of it.
All of that said, this isn’t even close to my area of expertise so I’ll assume there’s a whole bunch of things I’ve not taken in to consideration.
Pretty sure the (arguably) oldest profession of humanity is pretty much all out of fucks to give for peoples opinions of it.
but hey, some basic-ass bad-faith drive-by statements might just be the thing we need to turn this all around, keep it up, i expect the tide to turn any day now.
the other commentor is likely a mysogynist and wouldnt chastise if a man did porn.
There’s plenty of anti-prostitution feminists.
There are also a lot of trans exclusionary people that call themselves feminists. Telling women hat they can and can’t do with their body is inherently anti-feminist.
I found that having no-true-scotsman discussions generally doesn’t lead anywhere. These kinds of “feminists” suck, but they’re still distinct from regular misogynists.
