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.

Other people's computer usage is weird to me.

I just bookmark stuff if I think I'll need it later, and I usually don't even do that. Otherwise, every browser window is closed at the end of the session.

People not understanding that we understand bookmarks exist is weird to me.

For me it's a suspected ADHD thing. If I make a bookmark:

I have to context-switch into "cleaning up" mode. Leaving a tab open is not distracting, having to name it and categorize it is.
Bookmarks are virtual drawers. Anything I put in a drawer might as well be in a cave in Alaska guarded by a troll as far as my brain is concerned. If I intend to look at this in the next 2-3 weeks, I keep the tab open because it's a virtual reminder I've not yet done the thing.
Yes, I've got tabs open from over a year ago. Those ones don't serve a purpose, I'll get around to cleaning up... eventually.

Honestly if I was forced to close my browser sessions at the end of the work day, not joke, not an exaggeration, I'd switch jobs. I'm working on too many different complex things to have to rebuild my mental model of where everything was at from scratch every morning. I would not get anything done.

Tab groups is my new compromise for this 👌

Opera is such a trailblazer on that front! Clearly I'm not the target audience but I really appreciate them acknowledging all the crazy people put there with hundreds of tabs.
