Gotta clear out these links

[conuly]

and also my backyard. I need to write up a schedule for the week so I get things done. I'll do that after I get rid of some of these links, then I guess I'll circle back, get the rest of the tabs closed, and hit post.

I am curious about the "gotta clear out these links" comment. When you say that it sounds like you think that it is your job to pass on links, yet you rarely indicate why you share them, so there is no way to know why you share any given link. These could be things you find interesting, funny, beautiful, enraging, problematic, or any of 100s of other possible motivations, yet there is rarely a clue as to which applies for any given link. Consequently, I tend to skip your link collections, unless I am really trying to avoid work and just want something to read, and your links are all that DW has offered me since last I looked (which happens, but rarely). Now I wonder if I am in the minority by skipping them?

I gotta clear them out for my own benefit, that is, read them (or decide not to read them) and close those tabs. Because my browser was slowing down.

You can read them or not. I just like to feel like I've done something after having a bajillion open tabs - though if I took the time to explain why every one of these was interesting or important I would literally never close these tabs and my browser would always be slow.

[kareina]

So, you are one of those people who would shudder at the fact that my browser is set to close all tabs every time I close it, and I close it at least daily? Any time I get more tabs open at once than I can clearly read what is in them, I use the "close all to the right" option...

Where are you finding all of these tabs that you have open?

[conuly]

Well, we are very different people, so no, I wouldn't shudder! You do what works for you.

And I mostly find them, you know, around. I do have a few email subscriptions and some feeds set up here on DW. (Though actually I think most of my DW feeds are comics and Ao3 things.)
