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.

That's bullshit, corporations sell you what they tell you you need, and convince you that you need to change the phone every 2 years, that you need anew car every 5, and that you have to eat the new organic bullshit nutrient rich superfood.
you are not as free to think as much as you think you are (and neither am I... I am not cooler than you)
All of those things are things that are very easy to say no to? I swapped the battery on my phone, I don't have a car but "my" car at my parents house is from '99. I eat food that I like. I'm not saying I'm impervious to bad decisions, or even that these are always bad decisions, but the people who buy a new phone or car every few years its because they like to.
