Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

MODERATORS
Did you know that brain plasticity decreases with age? It means learning new skills becomes progressively harder and harder and harder.
You specifically chose not to use smart phones until 5 years ago by your own admission, and are actively refusing to attempt to learn the new skill, get out of here with your brain plasticity argument. You're doing this to yourself and ridiculing others
Like avoiding mobile phones for as long as I could was doing something to myself rather than doing something for myself. Also, I ain't getting out of here with my brain plasticity argument because if I am going to be mindful of PTSD and autism and all the other conditions that I am going to be mindful of then people can be mindful of my ageing brain and more recently the very real brain fog that can be the result of Covid (my memory has gone to shit since I had it.)
As I have said elsewhere if there's a genuinely good reason for not phoning then I won't but the one condition I'm not respecting is a chronic fear that one day they might do something that is convenient to someone else.
Man that's a lot of excuses to not type.
Btw, are you viewing Lemmy on mobile? I have a sneaking suspicion you've typed these entire comments on a phone.
Fuck no, PC.
I'm with you.
