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.
- Limit of two posts per person per day.
- Bots aren't allowed.
- Banned users will have their posts removed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

MODERATORS
Misinterpreting contextually appropriate diction is not pedantry.
You should start going to meetings
But they should participate, so technically they should attend meetings.
Well attending doesn't necessarily imply participating.
...Will someone please forward the meeting invite to me? I'd like to attend. Whether I participate is yet to be seen.
Well, it's yet to be HEARD. Unless we're able to see all participants at the same time
No, it is indeed more likely to be seen via online text, as most people do not have irl contact with OP nor their phone number
...and we don't have deer/frog eyes. Wow, this conversation has gone off the rails.
Technically, there were no rails to begin with. So, if the conversation was never on the the non-existent rails, it certainly could not have gone off them.
"Off the rails" is clearly an idiom in this scenario, and the "rails" are a metaphor for the original line ideation, which has been lost.
🤔
Technically.
