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.

Well, I don't use G either. Or Microsoft. I did used to have a Home back when they first came out, but Google started being obvious about being evil around that time and I gave it to my MIL.
Echo, Siri, Google - they're all bad, and even less necessary than smart phones. You can make a decent, quantifiable argument about the quality-of-life differences a smart phone, wisely used, can make. There are few, mostly accessability related, arguments for the whole-home surveillance devices. They're absolutely a boon for accessability, and I wouldn't take that away, but otherwise it's a minor convenience most of the world manages to live without.
