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.

Frankly, if people are shelling out for higher end phones that break that easily, that's at least partly on them.
Like, I've been buying mid-tier Androids for about 10 years now, and I can't recall the last time I've had one shatter, and I'm clumsy as all hell. I've accidentally punted this thing across the office once, not a scratch. And as I'm so routinely told by the iPhone and more elitist Android spaces, this thing is supposedly a cheap plastic piece of shit.
It's so weird they settle for something more expensive but also more breakable. Makes sense if you're buying glass wear or something, I guess, but a device you keep in your pocket or hand all day? Shouldn't it be nigh indestructible at that price point?
True, I've been using the same mid-tier Samsung for 5 years now. It looks a bit rough but it still works just fine and I'll continue to use it until it breaks
