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.

Are zoomers really like this?
Sorry if I don't think minor topics are worthy of the immediate attention needed for a phone call?
Phone calls are reserved for emergencies. Otherwise you're just demanding the instant attention of someone for nothing.
Gen-x'r here who doesn't even have the phone app on my home screen.
Fuck phone calls!
That's about outgoing calls. Incoming calls still will be fullscreen pop-ups
It's more of a Millenial thing. I'm 35 and I don't pick up the phone ever unless it's an emergency or a job interview.
I'm 36 and if you want to call me, then fine? Who cares? I don't get why it's such a big deal.
I don't think all zoomers are, but a LOT of the people I know are TERRIFIED of phone calls. I was like that too, before I started applying for jobs and had to make like 3 calls a week.
Yeah, I'm a millennial and use to have terrible phone anxiety. It prevented me from being able to get a job for a long time. I would always try to go in person instead because it was less anxiety inducing but never got a job that way.
I'm 40. I don't even answer the phone if it rings. If it's important they can leave a message.
Which I'll check in a few days. If it's important, and they are pinned underneath a vehicle about to die, they can send a voice memo.
Also almost 40. Fuck synchronous communications. Inferior in every possible way.
