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.

Many people would probably be fine if their non-dominant hand was replaced by a prosthetic, though.
Computer work is so important these days and missing a hand is a huge downgrade for that.
Speech-to-text is pretty decent nowadays. You're going to be a bit slower in applications that have a lot of keyboard shortcuts available, but that's generally still very workable. Not saying it's equal, it's just not that bad compared to losing both hands.
I'd rather be immobile and be able to play video games.
Depends on the games you play, doesn't it? Strategy games (non-competitive) or turn-based RPGs work fine with one hand. And I bet it's possible to make a way to use at least the directional keys (wasd/arrows/d-pad) with your prosthetic, e.g. by rigging up one of those old school joysticks.
