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.

‘Sealioning’ is the word that sums up why Twitter discussion is so unbearable

Excuse you, I'm being polite here and you're calling me absurd. Can't a person have a civil conversation without devolving into name-calling? And why haven't you given a source? Are you unable to back up your claims, or are you unwilling to engage in rational dialogue?

I'm sorry, but if you want me to remain what you'd define as civil, you're going to need to be reasonable, not ridiculous. You haven't answered my question. Where does this belief all things are sourceable come from?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago (3 children)

I have been unfailingly polite and you're being rude, calling me ridiculous just for trying to engage in rational debate. Sources are the backbone of reasoned discussion, and if you're unwilling to engage in that, maybe don't make such bold claims in public.

You seem to have a proclivity for making sweeping generalizations and overarching statements. You're not actually the God-King of the Universe, though, fyi. Regardless, I apologize for not meeting your standards for explaining my own anecdotal experiences.

Alright, I think this has gone on long enough. Thanks for playing along.

You did get me a little riled up a few posts ago. The switch to rationality vs irrationality was a good one. lol
