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.

A phonecall is so much nicer, quicker and leaves a lot less room for misunderstanding.

I don't like shot-messages-communication, especially not when it's a delicate topic.

And yes, I'm old, and an extrovert.

For me, if it's urgent, sure a call is fine. A message doesn't require the other person's attention to be redirected at your demand though. They can get around to it when it's convenient for them.

For me a phone call is for when a text might be misunderstood or you need to gauge the mood of the person you’re communicating with. For everything else, text is more polite, accurate and convenient for both parties.

If it's not important you can email it to me lol. My dad who is 75 also prefers emailing me and if more time sensitive he texts or sends a discord message. Phone calls are for emergencies and even then I know he wouldn't call.
