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.

Seems like you gotta have your phone on you at all times because everything requires an app. Gotta use an app to control my TV. Gotta use an app to talk to my grankids. Gotta have an app to run the freezer. App. App. App. What they need to do is start building the damned apps into the appliances, that way you can just push some buttons or tap a screen right on the device to control it.
But then they can't steal your all encompassing data.
Just wait until your toilet will have weight sensors inside the bowl, and will tweet out how much your shit weighs in realtime.
You think I'm joking, but just watch. This world is getting real stupid. Cars used to come with a manual, that had a section on how to change your own oil and radiator fluid. Now cars come with a manual that has a disclaimer to warn that "auto pilot mode" is just a slightly more advanced version of cruise control, and still requires the driver to be awake and alart of the road as the driver. Regardless of if the speed is automated.
