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.

Google doesn't even treat the quotes as a requirement anymore, just as a suggestion.
I was searching for something the other day, such as 'blah blah text'. Google asked if I wanted results that must contain 'text' so I clicked on it and it changed to 'blah blah "text"'.
The results were exactly the same. Except now the suggestion asked if the results must contain "text". So I blocked that. And now the search was for 'blah blah ""text""'
Google search is so shit now. Yes I know the add "Reddit" hack and I'm pragmatic about that. But are there any real search alternatives yet?
You'd think a proper non gamed search engine would know that a Reddit result is better than an SEO spam blog.
Yeah but... that seo spam blog 90.99% of the time will have some Google adsense ads.
I use a privacy search engine called start page which scrapes the results From google, ecosia is great too, while it isn't as privacy focused it is still pricacy friendly and it plants trees as you use it
