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'm almost 49 and I honestly think AI is going to be my Achilles heel. It's not that I don't get it on a certain level, but I just don't give a shit. To me, that's when the understanding gap comes in, when you no longer care enough about the "latest thing" to be bothered.
Agreed. It's not like not understanding technology is a causal consequence of age. Like you hit 55 and suddenly you don't get it anymore. My dad is a baby boomer and he's always had an interest in and thus was and still is good with computers, both hardware and software. That doesn't go away. He's less adept with smartphones though because he views them through a very utilitarian lense and doesn't really experiment and thus doesn't learn much about them. And he's literally never made any social media account because he doesn't give a fuck.
