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.

I have heard people say that good times create weak men, and looking at how the alt right have risen and how much "alpha males" are concerned about their masculinity, I would have to say that we have had some great times.
Also, I would never consider myself an alpha male, that is far too unstable, at best I am probably a decent release candidate, good enough to be sent to production, but needing a few patches to get a few bugs worked out.
Does stability reflect it's likelihood to crash, or it's frequency of updates in this analogy.
Also is the pickup line "I got a rolling release personally" good?

Ese, what???
Programmer humour in the wrong community
Sorry, but yeah, some programming humor, though it seems to fit.
Alpha - the first working versions of a software, used to verify concepts, but is often very unstable, and outright broken in places
Beta - mostly working version, core is stable, but some features are still buggy.
Release candidate - works well enough that it could be the release version of a software, all specified features are in place, it is polished and the team working on it is focused on testing it to make sure it is ready.
I was rather drunk and apparently only read half your comment, lmao
Thanks for the explanation anyway!
