- 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.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Limit of two posts per person per day.

No, actually you still don't get it.
your mild inconvenience of your card not working, does not compare to the dread of not knowing if you will eat today, and by the way, the cashier KNOWS if your card is not working or the payment is rejected. so, you can add that shame to the experience.
Lesson here: you're not actually smarter than the person you replied to, just more ignorant of other peoples lives.
No. You're right. I'll never completely understand until my bank account goes negative. Or I have no bank account. And I have to go a day or more without eating.
But I do have anxiety. And a very limited income. My grocery shop spend for two weeks now is about the same price as I paid for one week, fifteen years ago. I have to budget every little thing.
So while I can't fully understand, I have more understanding than you think I do, and it's not just me that needs to be careful about ignorance.
