A community for comic lovers who just want to get away from politics and gloom and doom.
- Rule 1 - Be civil.
- Rule 2 - Don't be uncivil.
Posting guidelines:
- No political comics. This generally includes anything referencing whatever bullshit Trump is up to, but also includes the megacorps. Essentially if the comic is about how the world today sucks, it doesn't belong here.
- Where possible, tag the title with [comic name]. This refers to the name of the artist or overall comic, not the title of the specific strip.
- Tag NSFW / NSFL / AI content accordingly.

It's easier to ask forgiveness than to ask permission. That goes for customer deadlines as well.
The fuck? If you get a job because you say 3 weeks instead of 4 like everyone else, and you still take 4 weeks. Thats no way to operate a business lmfao.
That's why I'm not a sales person
Unfortunately there's a lot of sales people like that
That's the way most business operate.
No, if you keep doing it, you’ll get a reputation for not delivering, and work moves to those that don’t lie.
It works short term, and most businesses dont actually willfully lie to get contracts. Since when they’re broken…. There’s actually recourse that affects you.
But also, promising unicorns when they don't exist isn't a good way to run a business either.
Accenture would beg to differ.
