Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
Rules
-
π Be Nice!
- Treat others with respect and dignity. Friendly banter is okay, as long as it is mutual; keyword: friendly.
-
ποΈ Community Standards
- Comics should be a full story, from start to finish, in one post.
- Posts should be safe and enjoyable by the majority of community members, both here on lemmy.world and other instances.
- Any comic that would qualify as raunchy, lewd, or otherwise draw unwanted attention by nosy coworkers, spouses, or family members should be tagged as NSFW.
- Moderators have final say on what and what does not qualify as appropriate. Use common sense, and if need be, err on the side of caution.
-
𧬠Keep it Real
- Comics should be made and posted by real human beans, not by automated means like bots or AI. This is not the community for that sort of thing.
-
π½οΈ Credit Where Credit is Due
- Comics should include the original attribution to the artist(s) involved, and be unmodified. Bonus points if you include a link back to their website. When in doubt, use a reverse image search to try to find the original version. Repeat offenders will have their posts removed, be temporarily banned from posting, or if all else fails, be permanently banned from posting.
- Attributions include, but are not limited to, watermarks, links, or other text or imagery that artists add to their comics to use for identification purposes. If you find a comic without any such markings, it would be a good idea to see if you can find an original version. If one cannot be found, say so and ask the community for help!
-
π Post Formatting
- Post an image, gallery, or link to a specific comic hosted on another site; e.g., the author's website.
- Meta posts about the community should be tagged with [Meta] either at the beginning or the end of the post title.
- When linking to a comic hosted on another site, ensure the link is to the comic itself and not just to the website; e.g.,
β Correct: https://xkcd.com/386/
β Incorrect: https://xkcd.com/
-
π¬ Post Frequency/SPAM
- Each user (regardless of instance) may post up to five (5 π) comics a day. This can be any combination of personal comics you have written yourself, or other author's comics. Any comics exceeding five (5 π) will be removed.
-
π΄ββ οΈ Internationalization (i18n)
- Non-English posts are welcome. Please tag the post title with the original language, and include an English translation in the body of the post; e.g.,
SΓ, por favor [Spanish/EspaΓ±ol]
- Non-English posts are welcome. Please tag the post title with the original language, and include an English translation in the body of the post; e.g.,

πΏ Moderation
- We are human, just like most everybody else on Lemmy. If you feel a moderation decision was made in error, you are welcome to reach out to anybody on the moderation team for clarification. Keep in mind that moderation decisions may be final.
- When reporting posts and/or comments, quote which rule is being broken, and why you feel it broke the rules.
Banned Artists
The following artists are banned from the community.
- Jago
- Stonetoss
It should be noted that when you make reports, it is your responsibility to provide rational reasoning why something should be removed. Saying it simply breaks community rules is not always good enough.
Web Accessibility
Note: This is not a rule, but a helpful suggestion.
When posting images, you should strive to add alt-text for screen readers to use to describe the image you're posting:
Another helpful thing to do is to provide a transcription of the text in your images, as well as brief descriptions of what's going on. (example)
Web of Links
- !linuxmemes@lemmy.world: "I use Arch btw"

When so many people have adhd you should question whether it's a mental condition or a societal condition.
And you're just saying bullshit. Just because you can't work without deadlines doesn't mean deadlines are necessary. That's just management lies to extract "productivity" at the expense of everything else.
Free softwares wouldn't exist if your theory had any truth to itself. Art wouldn't exist either.
That is a totalitarian idea because it only leads to totalitarian behaviours. Like the ones we have in so many companies where engineers are monitored like they're children and given unrealistic deadlines under the pretense they're lazy or procrastinate. None of this actually work. There is absolutely zero evidence it does.
You are generalising over something that's wrong. That is the problem of your thesis.
It's a mental condition. It's been researched plenty. I didn't say much about deadlines. I said most people who might have a hard time focusing more than 3 or 4 hours of their 8 workhours a day otherwise, could probably focus 16 hours a day knowing they're saving millions of lives. Is it sustainable? Hell no, but it gets you rapid innovation.
At the same time what I'm gathering is that you personally would never be motivated to work harder just because other people's lives are at stake.
You completely missed my point.
Some people are not more efficient under pressure, they collapse or overheat. Putting pressure on people don't always work to extract more productivity. That's all there is.
And if you think it works for everyone, then the next step is for some asshole to weaponize the idea. Which is what they do in many companies : putting pressure on people to extract more productivity. And it does not work.
Some people work better under pressure. Some people work better when they have no pressure. Adhd is irrelevant to that.
I wasn't saying that adhd is not a real illness. I'm saying there aren't so many people with this actual illness. Like women didn't suffer from histeria in the past. Some certainly were crazy. Most weren't. A difference is not an illness is what I'm saying.
It does, they're called start ups. Ever wondered, how a team of like 5 or 10 can build a completely sufficient product and then later on the same company has 10,000 employees and the overall quality seems to have gone down?
But that, again, works not just because communication is easier within a smaller team, but also because there's proper motivation: Stock options. Which goes with my point that having something to fight for is what makes people more productive. Deadlines or "Stock price go up" is not something to fight for unless you have a decent holding of stock or at least stock options. It's someone else's money and it doesn't help you in any way.
Startups don't work better than bigger companies. You're daydreaming!
You seem like a liberal utopian. It's useless to talk with you. Your consideration on people are completely crazy.
I'm more of a social democrat tbh. But also an engineer who works with a lot of other engineers.
How am I the one who doesn't consider people though? You're the one who says that being able to save millions of people from gruesome deaths and ending a war sooner rather than later would not in any way motivate you to work harder or more efficiently.
