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.

A lot of software companies advertise for "rock stars" and "ninjas" as qualities of good computer programmers. It's puerile.
It's a solid red flag though for anyone looking for a job.
I'm surprised they didn't have some mountaintop monk "guru" as well. I hate that word the most.
My boss calls me a guru on some of the work that I do. I get that it is supposed to be someone who knows or is able to do everything about a certain topic, but it always felt a bit insulting because I feel like there's a charlatan edge to the definition of guru. She actually means it as a big compliment. She tells everyone.
They probably put it the job posting, but the mountaintop guru is not looking for a new job.
