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.

These are good points.
Success to me is health, friends and family, video games, and being able to do something I love while making enough money to maximize those things as best as I can. It's always a balance.
I think everyone should define success on thier own terms. I feel lucky that none of the typical western desires of status or shiny objects interest me at all.
I think that works at some level. But you're opening the door to some Wolf of Wall Street style sociopaths making life miserable for the rest of us so they can jockey for biggest bank account.
You can't choose what other people are allowed to think.
There are always going to be evil people. Things that lead to evil people doing more damage then good is what regulation is for, like workplace safety, etc.
That's functionally what education is. Not so much "allowed" as "inclined". But establishing social obligations and taboos is sort of foundational to any cohesive cultural movement.
I don't doubt it. But its important to define what "evil" standards for in order to rally against it.
