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.

Expedient texting. Or hanging out, but over distance.

Riddle me this, call not-likers: what is the difference between calling your friend, over the phone, and calling them on your teamspeak of choice (or whatever is popular these days).

Is it the impromptu nature of it? Just don't answer when it's not convenient then, it's not the 90s, they can follow up with a text if you can't pick up.

Is it the talking to people in general? Then I fail to see why calls are the issue.

This is assuming you know the personal calling, via callerID.

Is it you feel more rushed and flustered because you can't see each other, and thus can't pick up on visual cues?

All in all, thoroughly confused why people have an aversion to calls, I think they're rather expedient and useful. Depending on what's called for. (I feel this way in both work and social contexts).
