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.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Expecting robots to be butlers, screaming at a thermometer. Start treating electronics with respect and understanding and they will pay it back.
It's a thing. A tool. It has no feelings and it absolutely shouldn't be having opinions. It's meant to be specifically designed to make my life easier, not add a different kind of complication.
Then why scream at it if it doesn't listen?
Treating things badly hurts us more than it hurts them. Since the attitude accumulates, we will pay the price for treating the environment badly.
Because we're human and we vent our irritation. What a weird question.
We don't have to vent, especially if we don't get irritated in the first place. Things show us our immaturities because it's never caused by somebody else.
And there you have it. The reason why people vent; things do irritate us, largely because they are irritating.
The kind of thing spoiled people say.
See, for you, the problem is somebody else. Things make that reasoning transparent.
Why are you so irritated by this?
Lol, no. Give money or data.
