- 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).

It's better to have traveled than not. Life is about experiences and the world is a big place.
Full disagree. Googlemaps exists, and I can see the Eiffel Tower anytime I want. No need to spend 16 hours on a plane, and $9,000 to take a picture of a thing that's stood for centuries and has literally millions of photos taken of it.
I'd rather spend that time going to a store that sexxs sex equipment, and then spending time with a woman discussing what sexual kinks she may may have, and what sexual kinks I may have, buying a bunch of bondage and restrzints, and then kidnapping a bunch of hobos, and involuntarily running unethical medical experiments on them to try to create an army of lizardmen. Which I will then use to takeover the government, and prove conspiracy theorists right.
And that's when I go back in time znd buy evdn MORE drugs, which I will share with that woman who likes to be spanked sometimes.
Yeah, travelling is not so much about seeing stuff, but about feeling a place; at least to me. It feels different to walk through Amsterdam then to walk through Toronto or Tunis.
Google maps cannot really do this at all. Some youtubers can do it to a degree. My go to for that if I cannot travel, is Dale Phillips or Luke Damant. But there are others.
The previous comment is just cope. If you can afford to travel then do so and see how you like it. Traveling is a work out for your brain. We fall into the same patterns of daily living and traveling smooths those grooves. It makes us appreciate things we overlooked and took for granted and gives us a lot of depth when comparing things based on our senses. You can't reproduce the smell of a spice market or sound of a snowy mountain. Some things are vastly over hyped but that's because of how we package our vacations to be quick and efficient. If you only do group tours when you are tired of self determination then you will enjoy those better too. All that being said I have been the person in this meme before. When you do a big trip it BECOMES all you think about because it was so impressive. It takes a while before your interest becomes more natural again. People will be annoyed hearing about it and in no small part is that jealousy because the vast majority of us can't afford the time and cost of big trips. It's the same as any hobby, you can't expect other people to be in on your obsession. Traveling is great.
