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.

If someone is willing to work for less and put up with more, that's not ageism (as far as the law is concerned). Ageism is when the employer selects a younger person over an older person, due to their age, when both applicants agreed to work for and put up with the same amount
No, I'm saying that people see an older candidate and assume that they won't be as willing to work for less as someone younger, it's biases and it has a lot to do with age; employers select different demographics for different roles, because there are innate assumptions about what kind of hire someone will be based on their age. Older hires are more often brought in for specific skills and high-value type contributions, and younger candidates are generally assumed to be looking for that same experience and expecting to start lower on the chain.
