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.

Maybe don't drive if you can't keep your vehicle road worthy.
If the road can't handle you at your worst then it doesn't deserve you at your best.
Agreed.
Yes you're right fuck poor people how dare they have bills to pay.
Oh and btw my muffler only broke because I was delivering pizzas on shitty side streets. So maybe the problem is cities should maybe fix their roads?
Is car owned by you or by company? If first, bill your delivery company. If last, it's company's headache.
EDIT: Downvotes? FYI in some countries with strong labour laws if employer requires something and does not provide it, then if employee spends money on it, said money should be compensated by employer.
Well. Here poor people need to have legal cars. Not my fault you built your society around vehicles.
I didn't build fuck all.
I was born into this shit.
You can just go fuck yourself
At least do your part and vote for the right side. Fucking cretin
Take your privileged ass somewhere the fuck else.
Was Lemmy always like this, or did it become this way after the mass reddit exodus?
It became this way. Comments got shorter and more aggressive. More edgy memes, more porn, etc.
At this point, I think it's a downward spiral where people are inflaming each other, like what happened on Reddit.
Oh no.. I'm not on here often but noticed this comment section felt like "home" for some reason..
While I do absolutely understand your point (and agree with you) that's not always going to happen. Some people can't afford to miss work for example, or would get fired for calling out/being late for the tire. I don't necessarily blame those particular people as the deeper problem is a society in which we we're living week to week to get buy and risk losing much if not all if even a portion of that weekly pay doesn't come in.
Also blame employers that pay diddly and are so quick to fire people. They place profit over human life and that's no better.
I wouldn't drive with issues like that, but then again 1: I know cars and work on my own stuff and 2: I can afford to miss a day of work every now and then.
So while I agree and don't support people driving cars with dangerous issues, I also understand that some people are so desperate that it's not really an option, also a mechanic isn't cheap and people don't much help others nowadays.
How is a broken exhaust endangering other people?
I agree with you, but can you make a point without extra insults?
How are they supposed to vote without driving their non "legal car" to the voting center miles away?
Let's see... Train. Bus. Bike. Powered wheelchair. Number eleven.
An exhaust fix costs less than $200 if you want to just make it quiet again or patch it.
You are ether European or 10 years old you need a car to get the money to live and keep it road legal
Nah I'm married, father, living good and not a complete moron. Fix your vehicle. USA is crazy I tell you
