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.

I'm not lazy, it's society that's manically hyperactive.
You know... I meant that as a sort of joke, but it actually isn't too far from the truth. Some manic-obsessive individuals set the tone, and some places are worse than others, South Korea being most famous for it.
There's a reason tech workers and college students in demanding degrees are all on Adderall (aka amphetamines).
This is likely largely untrue, and many, if they are, are not getting what they think they are.
If you know someone who takes Adderall without a prescription, encourage them to stop. Leave it for people who need it.

A number of clinical trials have shown improved academic and occupational cognitive performance using psychostimulants in therapeutic doses. This includes improved inhibitory control, memory recall, and awakefulness. Some studies have even shown a measurable (4-5 points) increase in performance when taking an IQ test.
Dang, that's where I live. 😱
How's life in south Korea? Is what people say true?
It's lile that ozinger game but more subtle.
ozinger?
Oof sorry, I meant squid game.
Does this mean people in South Korea are being put through strange and narrowly limited rules set of tasks for the entertainment of the masses?
Nah, not for the entertainment of masses. They are put into extreme competition just to live, though. Like, "someone must die for you to live well".
War never changes, taking from others for your own shallow benefit instead of living holistically. It's a bad habit that is too easy to fall into
