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.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Thats a shitty imperialist view of the natural world. Yeah, it's red in tooth and claw, but also cuddly and collaborative and incomprehensible. We are not morally superior by virtue of wearing pants.
I know he once had me set up a dozen beefy computers with solidworks in an office. I don't think he was a subsistence farmer. I think he was like a subcontractor for lockheed or raytheon or something. Definitely had 'my job requires both security clearance and an advanced degree' vibes. It's a thing. They talk about the topic generally, like going on (hypothetical example) an impromptu hour long explanation of different backflow valves, but never talks about the one's they've worked on.
Yeah maybe, but the difference in exploitation here is negligable. Splitting hairs, getting out my microscope to figure out which is more exploitative does not seem worth my time or attention. Besides; I'm not trying to be a good person here.
