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.

Functioning people are usually not functioning by themselves alone. Those we look up to as being "healthy" and "adjusted" get quite some help. Be it from their family, friends, partner or maybe even any social security the state offers. It gets overlooked a lot.
They have money. I can only speak for myself here, but literally the only barrier between me and the gigachad mindful bullshit lifestyle is that I don't have filthy rich parents
Financial security definitely helps. It also depends a lot on politics. Is there a proper minimum wage? Is healthy food available and affordable? Is the environment being taken care of?
We could have a society where it doesn't matter, whether you have family or friends...
