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.
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.
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.
