- 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).

Are zoomers really like this?
I'm 40. I don't even answer the phone if it rings. If it's important they can leave a message.
Which I'll check in a few days. If it's important, and they are pinned underneath a vehicle about to die, they can send a voice memo.
It's more of a Millenial thing. I'm 35 and I don't pick up the phone ever unless it's an emergency or a job interview.
I'm 36 and if you want to call me, then fine? Who cares? I don't get why it's such a big deal.
Because people suck, and they tend to be more rude on the phone. I don't want to deal with it.
Not to mention that the only time my phone rings, it's almost always a scam. I prefer not to engage with bullshitters.
If it's important, then text me.
How do you know it's an emergency if you don't pick up the phone
I don't if you won't text me. So it's on you.
Furthermore, in a real emergency, people tend to blow up your phone. So if someone is calling multiple times, of course I'll answer, if nothing more than to yell at them for blowing up my phone.
Sorry if I don't think minor topics are worthy of the immediate attention needed for a phone call?
Phone calls are reserved for emergencies. Otherwise you're just demanding the instant attention of someone for nothing.
Gen-x'r here who doesn't even have the phone app on my home screen.
Fuck phone calls!
That's about outgoing calls. Incoming calls still will be fullscreen pop-ups
Also almost 40. Fuck synchronous communications. Inferior in every possible way.
I don't think all zoomers are, but a LOT of the people I know are TERRIFIED of phone calls. I was like that too, before I started applying for jobs and had to make like 3 calls a week.
Yeah, I'm a millennial and use to have terrible phone anxiety. It prevented me from being able to get a job for a long time. I would always try to go in person instead because it was less anxiety inducing but never got a job that way.
