I feel like I'm continuing to be way too hard on myself any time something goes wrong, whether it be a work thing or an internet thing or whatever. I know they say mental health is a journey rather than a destination, and last year was beyond stressful to say the least, but I've been trying to figure out why I'm handling things this way right now.

My phone seems to have died on me for no discernible reason.
Like, it had been working fine all night. It still had plenty of juice when I left work and then I got home only to find out that it won't turn on. I can't get it to charge or be recognized by my computer either.
The only thing I can think of is that I have an older model. They had previously told me it would be going into limited customer support on the first. And today is the start of the first new billing cycle of the year.
Maybe they decided to shut the thing off entirely instead. I can think of no other cause for why I suddenly have a brick. I didn't know they had that capability either.
The person that came up with planned obsolescence deserves a boot to the head.

The person that came up with planned obsolescence deserves a boot to the head. Yes, or several. We were just talking about planned obsolescence and appliances yesterday. One guy said his grandparents had a gas dryer that lasted almost 40 years, and yet he has to replace his four year old front load dryer already (can’t / won’t be fixed...). Phone manufacturers seem to be particularly greasy with their practices though, especially now that a lot of new model phones include financing options... The whole thing is genius, Trojan horse a computer into a “phone”, give the world a taste, get them hooked, then make your fix so irresistible that everyone is willing to pay interest in instalments to stay mainlined! Disgusting, but genius.

Depending on the exact gizmo there might be stuff you can do with it. But yeah, I have some older hardware that I'd love to put Linux on but drivers and a few other things could be the sticking point, so I've just kind of let it sit on the back burner.

Having talked to the guy at my provider's store, it could just be that the battery went bad. I mean, I have had this thing for close to three years. It's plausible.
I noticed after he fiddled with it, it would at least recognize that it was being charged, even if I still couldn't turn it on or connect to the computer.
So, hopefully I can just buy a new battery and be good to go. The timing is still kinda sus, though.

I hate negative brain energy. I lose all focus and motivation to do anything.
It's been happening a lot lately. It's why I continue to fall behind in everything I do.
Even things like Fire Pro, things that are meant to be fun, aren't.

Does it help to know at least you're not alone in feeling like that?

Turn signals.
Your car has them. Use them.
Thanks.

Turn signals. Your car has them. Use them. Thanks. It's infuriating. I drive a truck in Chicago and most intersections don't have turn lanes. The amount of drivers who don't signal left drive me crazy.

On a related note, who decided having a turn lane and a crosswalk go at the same time was a good idea?

The amount of drivers who don't signal left drive me crazy. I worked a summer job at Home Depot, there was a trucker I had to deal with and he was always a basket case coming into the city having people cutting him off, especially just before red lights and with a full load. That guy looked old and stressed beyond his years. I always give truckers a pass or let them in after seeing how rocked that poor guy was!

You wanna drive into the parking/bike lane to pass me go ahead but I'm not gonna slow down, better speed up.

For some reason that's reminding me of a bit from MXC.
"He's the author of the book 'Eat Less, Exercise More'." "Ahh, these fad diets never work."
