She probably earned every penny.

[–] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 98 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 34 points 1 month 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 66 points 1 month 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.

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 34 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

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 29 points 1 month ago (2 children)

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

[–] deadbeef79000@lemmy.nz 13 points 1 month ago

Rightly so.

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

I applaud anyone taking money from a fascist.

[–] Akasazh@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

However I despise anyone fucking a fascist

[–] m4xie@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Except IBM, Hugo Boss, etc.

I believe they mean seizing the money, not exchanging it for equivalent value.

He died this week didn't he?

[–] NullPointerException@lemmy.ca 70 points 1 month 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 38 points 1 month 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 20 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (3 children)

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

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 51 points 1 month 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.

[–] RotSteinFinke@feddit.org 30 points 1 month ago

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

[–] Rooster326@programming.dev 5 points 1 month 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 18 points 1 month 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 9 points 1 month 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 27 points 1 month 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 13 points 1 month 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.

[–] sauerkrautsaul@lemmus.org 17 points 1 month ago

dilbert fuckin sucked assholes

[–] Saapas@piefed.zip 15 points 1 month 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

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Fair play to both of them tbh.

[–] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 13 points 1 month ago (2 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.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The trick is to encourage him to spend his time with his friends doing whatever they do. If he's getting laid, visiting strippers, etc. that's great, at least he's not bothering you. He's going to get tired of banging you anyway. Then when the pre-nup vests, you take the money and run.

I think in Rush Limbaugh's case the trick is to make sure he stays dead. Dead Rush Limbaugh is the best sort of Rush Limbaugh.

Non-passerine

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

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