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.

Both the battery and the charger are old and broken in my brain.
If it's too hot out the battery drains faster, if I'm playing music the battery drains faster. If I'm having to swap between conversations, bye bye battery.
Sometimes the charger works fine but sometimes it just doesn't charge no matter what I try, and the battery stays low even if I leave it plugged in alone.
Some days there's a process that's absolutely and inexplicably guzzling power, but the next day that same process barely takes up any processing power.
Some days it just doesn't turn on at all, and then on rare occasions I can't get the damn thing to turn off, it's just blasting notifications and I'm trying to sleep.
Related: personally I think "old phone battery" is a much better metaphor than the "chronically ill spoons" metaphor that is commonly used to explain the impact of chronic illness.
Oh yeah, when the charge in the battery falls to (below) zero it takes forever for it even start charging again.
Normies say 'take a day off' and then expect you to be 100% next day.
It could take months.
And yes, some precesses or people can cause a memory leak or overburden CPU with nonsense.
Those are either emotional vampires (which is the better option) or just people that live to produce stress in others (eg your averagely successful mid-corporate boss).
