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 ordered a TV mount (not from Temu). I had to install some app called Shop to get tracking information. The settings had a data and privacy section so I go in to turn off third party ad shit. They direct me to a form that accepts my email address and say it may take up to seven days?? Like, what? Just give me a check box.
Enshitification is real. Cobra could take a payment in seconds but turning on the insurance took weeks. This is during a so called grace period that is a word I don't think it means what they think it means. Oh but they will only take the payment in seconds if you give them everything to grab it from you but if you send it to them then weeks of processing. Oh also its a fee unless you authorize them to do it continously. Everything is setup to suck money from you but everything that is from them to you takes a lot of time and hopefully you forget because they are not really going to do it unles you show you can spend an inordinate amount of time hounding them.
