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.

I don’t care how much my kids calls me an old fart, I don’t think I will ever attach a payment method to a watch.
This is the smallest bill I have, please break it for me.
I refuse to even let my phone have my payment info.
Yeah, it's crazy. Phones are just about the least secure payment platform imaginable (in the sense of regular criminal hackers, other people having physical access to the device and corporate spies), and banking apps are cementing the vendor lock-in.
This is quite literally objectively not true. It's literally the exact opposite in fact... Your phone is more secure then every other standard method of payment that interacts with your bank account.
In the case of theft of your physical person then your phone is still more secure then any cards or checkbook. Case is literally the least secure in the case of physical theft.
I get not likely the whole corpo aspect of things. But don't be a fucking idiot and ignore reality and the facts whole doing it.
