Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
Rules
-
π Be Nice!
- Treat others with respect and dignity. Friendly banter is okay, as long as it is mutual; keyword: friendly.
-
ποΈ Community Standards
- Comics should be a full story, from start to finish, in one post.
- Posts should be safe and enjoyable by the majority of community members, both here on lemmy.world and other instances.
- Any comic that would qualify as raunchy, lewd, or otherwise draw unwanted attention by nosy coworkers, spouses, or family members should be tagged as NSFW.
- Moderators have final say on what and what does not qualify as appropriate. Use common sense, and if need be, err on the side of caution.
-
𧬠Keep it Real
- Comics should be made and posted by real human beans, not by automated means like bots or AI. This is not the community for that sort of thing.
-
π½οΈ Credit Where Credit is Due
- Comics should include the original attribution to the artist(s) involved, and be unmodified. Bonus points if you include a link back to their website. When in doubt, use a reverse image search to try to find the original version. Repeat offenders will have their posts removed, be temporarily banned from posting, or if all else fails, be permanently banned from posting.
- Attributions include, but are not limited to, watermarks, links, or other text or imagery that artists add to their comics to use for identification purposes. If you find a comic without any such markings, it would be a good idea to see if you can find an original version. If one cannot be found, say so and ask the community for help!
-
π Post Formatting
- Post an image, gallery, or link to a specific comic hosted on another site; e.g., the author's website.
- Meta posts about the community should be tagged with [Meta] either at the beginning or the end of the post title.
- When linking to a comic hosted on another site, ensure the link is to the comic itself and not just to the website; e.g.,
β Correct: https://xkcd.com/386/
β Incorrect: https://xkcd.com/
-
π¬ Post Frequency/SPAM
- Each user (regardless of instance) may post up to five (5 π) comics a day. This can be any combination of personal comics you have written yourself, or other author's comics. Any comics exceeding five (5 π) will be removed.
-
π΄ββ οΈ Internationalization (i18n)
- Non-English posts are welcome. Please tag the post title with the original language, and include an English translation in the body of the post; e.g.,
SΓ, por favor [Spanish/EspaΓ±ol]
- Non-English posts are welcome. Please tag the post title with the original language, and include an English translation in the body of the post; e.g.,
-
πΏ Moderation
- We are human, just like most everybody else on Lemmy. If you feel a moderation decision was made in error, you are welcome to reach out to anybody on the moderation team for clarification. Keep in mind that moderation decisions may be final.
- When reporting posts and/or comments, quote which rule is being broken, and why you feel it broke the rules.
Web Accessibility
Note: This is not a rule, but a helpful suggestion.
When posting images, you should strive to add alt-text for screen readers to use to describe the image you're posting:
Another helpful thing to do is to provide a transcription of the text in your images, as well as brief descriptions of what's going on. (example)
Web of Links
- !linuxmemes@lemmy.world: "I use Arch btw"
- !memes@lemmy.world: memes (you don't say!)

Later: why didn't you do the thing I asked?
The secret is: it's always your fault.
Donβt bcc your personal email, the internal mail servers can see everything even if the recipients donβt. Better to just screencap when possible.
Download it, actually.
Weekly/monthly dump of the inbox to a personal cloud storage for later archiving
Except donβt do this if your company tells you not to(which they most likely have) as it will actually screw you over pretty badly. Unless youβve got hard proof of illegality going on, donβt piss off your employer by being paranoid.
Or if you're Hillary Clinton π.

The two things I can think of are the company may try to tag you for inappropriately handling what they consider confidential information -- and if something goes to court and the email ends up in the discovery process, opposing council may be allowed access to your entire personal email account.
It's probably better to copy everything as an attachment to a dedicated portable drive so it's less likely to be called out by the company, and if it ends up it court you only need to release the information on that drive.
This would get you fired from some jobs.
Most companies have software to identify what youβve copied to an external drive as well.
Copying to an external drive would be way worse than using your own email. With the email you can prove that that was the only data you moved to outside the company. With an external drive they'd argue that it might be a habit, question what else you moved and sue the fuck out of you for breach of contract + violations of NDAs.
The boss can't see it unless he asks a tech for it. The techs usually don't care.
After months of no replies, you are fired for "lack of initiative".
Unless you went ahead and did it, and then you get fired for "too much initiative".
You have to find just the right amount of initiative.
My DEX modfier is +2 and get another +2 from being a bard, is +4 too high?
If it made the boss feel inadequate, then yes - dial that shit back, maybe pretend to attempt to roll but then trip (while actually aiming to just trip), roll for constitution to avoid damage. Taking ego damage is unavoidable in that case, except getting to keep the job more than balances it out:-).
And congratulations - you just leveled up! Now you get to do 1.1x your previous workload, for 1.00x your previous pay.:-( Although when all your friends at work get let go, you get to stay.
Make sure you don't roll too high or too low.
if your relationship with your boss is this toxic, you should be writing a resignation email instead.
This goes so hard
Oh I know. When you're raised by a narcissist with an obsession for controlling people, EVERYTHING is your fault. Never theirs.
Hey, did you know I'm responsible for my dads marriage failing, my school (a catholic elementary school) rejecting me (an athiest) for MC Hammer dancing in church (I was acting out a death scene portraying the lies of the church killing me), the holocaust, the dinosaurs dying, getting cancer, being fat as a 5 year old, my mom attempting suicide and going into a coma, having hearing problems, being born with the umbilical cord wrapped around my neck, my dad running himself over with his truck on a day I wasn't home, cats invading our home.....now granted I fully welcomed it, but I had nothing to do with it. Three of kittens LOVED me! And then he sent them to a kill shelter, because the no kill shelter was a 10 minute longer drive.
So yeah. I'm used to everything being my fault.
I feel you, my mom was the same way.
Same here, good luck you all!
Sometimes there are no words... only gif.
Sir / Ma'am, this is a Wendy's.
And the frosty machine being broken is my fault, I'm assuming?
Even so, it is Wend-ception, Wendy's all the way down...
Bit too specific there, buddy.
It's based on real life.
The 5th panel should be a copy of the 2nd one.
