Rules
-
π Be Nice!
- Treat others with respect and dignity. Friendly banter is okay, as long as it is mutual; keyword: friendly.
-
ποΈ Community Standards
- Comics should be a full story, from start to finish, in one post.
- Posts should be safe and enjoyable by the majority of community members, both here on lemmy.world and other instances.
- Any comic that would qualify as raunchy, lewd, or otherwise draw unwanted attention by nosy coworkers, spouses, or family members should be tagged as NSFW.
- Moderators have final say on what and what does not qualify as appropriate. Use common sense, and if need be, err on the side of caution.
-
𧬠Keep it Real
- Comics should be made and posted by real human beans, not by automated means like bots or AI. This is not the community for that sort of thing.
-
π½οΈ Credit Where Credit is Due
- Comics should include the original attribution to the artist(s) involved, and be unmodified. Bonus points if you include a link back to their website. When in doubt, use a reverse image search to try to find the original version. Repeat offenders will have their posts removed, be temporarily banned from posting, or if all else fails, be permanently banned from posting.
- Attributions include, but are not limited to, watermarks, links, or other text or imagery that artists add to their comics to use for identification purposes. If you find a comic without any such markings, it would be a good idea to see if you can find an original version. If one cannot be found, say so and ask the community for help!
-
π Post Formatting
- Post an image, gallery, or link to a specific comic hosted on another site; e.g., the author's website.
- Meta posts about the community should be tagged with [Meta] either at the beginning or the end of the post title.
- When linking to a comic hosted on another site, ensure the link is to the comic itself and not just to the website; e.g.,
β Correct: https://xkcd.com/386/
β Incorrect: https://xkcd.com/
-
π¬ Post Frequency/SPAM
- Each user (regardless of instance) may post up to five (5 π) comics a day. This can be any combination of personal comics you have written yourself, or other author's comics. Any comics exceeding five (5 π) will be removed.
-
π΄ββ οΈ Internationalization (i18n)
- Non-English posts are welcome. Please tag the post title with the original language, and include an English translation in the body of the post; e.g.,
SΓ, por favor [Spanish/EspaΓ±ol]
- Non-English posts are welcome. Please tag the post title with the original language, and include an English translation in the body of the post; e.g.,
-
πΏ Moderation
- We are human, just like most everybody else on Lemmy. If you feel a moderation decision was made in error, you are welcome to reach out to anybody on the moderation team for clarification. Keep in mind that moderation decisions may be final.
- When reporting posts and/or comments, quote which rule is being broken, and why you feel it broke the rules.
Banned Artists
The following artists are banned from the community.
- Jago
- Stonetoss
- GPrime85
It should be noted that when you make reports, it is your responsibility to provide rational reasoning why something should be removed. Saying it simply breaks community rules is not always good enough.
Web Accessibility
Note: This is not a rule, but a helpful suggestion.
When posting images, you should strive to add alt-text for screen readers to use to describe the image you're posting:
Another helpful thing to do is to provide a transcription of the text in your images, as well as brief descriptions of what's going on. (example)

MODERATORS
I'm more surprised there aren't any states where the official way to vote is to shoot the bubble next to your chosen candidate. But I suppose the number of counted ballots would be like 5 for the entire state.
The pencil is mighier than the sword. But an AK47 is mightier than a pencil.
Just got home from voting. They gave me a pen and I had my Colt .45 in case of federal interference. We can do both!
making the left distrust or be uninterested about voting is a far right psy ops to literally make their opponents not vote.
Left or right politics forcing voters to choose between two sides and ultimately become single issue voters is a deep state psy op to literally make everyone hate politics and allow oligarchical control.
murrican democratic systemic skill issue.
Murrican democracy id actually quite a crap example of democracy
So your answer is to let them win on voting instead of fighting on every front available to you?
Okay but the two-party FPTP system is a separate issue that we can't immediately fix right now. The immediate issue that's right in front of us today is whether we put up road blocks to resist fascism, or whether we tear out the few road blocks that are left.
So for someone to sit on the sidelines and say "it doesn't matter either way because I disagree with the binary nature of the dichotomy on a matter of principle" is simply asinine.
making the left distrust guns is far right psy ops to literally make their opponents vote on bourgeoisie parties instead of taking the means of production
The left don't distrust guns, liberals do. They are centrists.
Go far enough left, you get your guns back.
The left are fine thanks, I'm pretty sure you mean liberals?
murrican detected
Do you see how after my name it says "@piefed.ca"
Liberals are a powerful voting bloc.
Leftists spend so much time fighting with each other that they decide whoever is running isn't left enough and decide not to vote.
Ok that's fine, it doesn't make liberals leftist though
But that's mostly because liberals aren't a useless voting bloc.
No it's mostly because liberalism and leftism are completely at odds with one and other about their ideals and how they would like to see society function.
Don't let that stop you from continuing to be proudly a d willfully ignorant though.
Leftists say they hate conservativess and liberals but they hate other leftists more.
I've been going down a Japanese stationary supplies rabbit hole. Their mechanical pencils are on another level. Pens, too. I'm not a pen guy but I feel the need to get one now.
Voting is a zerg rush. That's why they want to depress turnout.
Just one part of a complete set: soap box, ballot box, jury box, ammo box. Make sure to collect them all!
I haven't yet served on a jury.
https://www.ipsos.com/en-us/ipsos-survey-jury-service-and-legal-system
The survey shows that one in ten Americans have served on a jury in the last 10 years
So if you extend that, figure 79 year life expectancy, minimum of 18 years (dunno if that's true in all states, but it is in at least some), that's 61 years that you probably have to potentially serve on one. Figure maybe ~1% chance each year, then 61% chance over your lifetime.
In some states, it's not exactly random. I forget where I saw the analysis, but somewhere there was research showing that people with surnames higher in the alphabet were getting called in at a statistically higher rate.
Thought this was a John wick joke
I'll take one each of the semiautomatics as well
One rifle per family
The interns share a glock.
