NPCs (NonPolitical Comics)

A community for comic lovers who just want to get away from politics and gloom and doom.
- Rule 1 - Be civil.
- Rule 2 - Don't be uncivil.
Posting guidelines:
- No political comics. This generally includes anything referencing whatever bullshit Trump is up to, but also includes the megacorps. Essentially if the comic is about how the world today sucks, it doesn't belong here.
- Where possible, tag the title with [comic name]. This refers to the name of the artist or overall comic, not the title of the specific strip.
- Tag NSFW / NSFL / AI content accordingly.

When I started in IT as a greenhorn, they gave me 2 trainings: a basic explanation about enterprise networking and a training on how to troubleshoot effectively.
That network training was forgotten quickly because it would be many years before it became relevant to my job, but that troubleshooting training was absolute gold.
I have given similar trainings many times since, because it's one of, if not the most important aspects of problem solving.
And it applies to anything really, not just IT. I look at medical doctors and I see them basically troubleshooting their way through the issues their patients have. Lawyers troubleshoot their way out of legal quandaries, politicians out of embarrassing situations, etc...
It's a skill and a highly valuable one.
