- 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).

Social battery has had too many cycles. It runs down quick nowadays.
It was smol and shitty to begin with, so it ran more full cycles because of that too.
Now it's all bloated & leaking, even caused damage to the surrounding capabilities.
But I know it's doing its very best & I can't fault it for that.
I wish I could buy it a lonely cabin it deserves, in a secluded area with only nature & various unnatural eldritchy monsters around.
It wouldn't be much, but it would be a peaceful life.
We would call shit(re)posting socialising & finally be relaxed.
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).
