The feeling I have about people that have more than 8 tabs open is the same feeling I have for people that have their desktop full of random shit.

My desktop is empty because I don't use it. I hide all icons as well so the system ones don't show either. As for my tabs... why don't we talk about something else, and not why I got 64gb of ram so I could open more tabs.

The funny thing is I'm in IT. The amount of tabs I have open is usually due to solving issues, opening multiple tabs of info to research without losing place. Just I often tend to forget to close some when done, or I get interrupted by either other work, questions (I'm an escalation point so helping my coworkers is also part of my job), or straight up ADHD. I used to keep tabs open to track manga/manhwa I'm interested or reading, but I use an app for that now and close apps way more often now.

I still might get a bunch open when trying to figure out game stuff or making choices for either shopping or D&D/Pathfinder or just something I need to look up, but the manga/manhwa was really the one that kept stuff open for days at a time.

To be fair, I'm the opposite of efficient with my tab usage. I close tabs often as soon as I switch to a different task, only to find out I still needed that tab.

I only just weeks ago discovered that tabs are kept open after rebooting (I had to turn power off during a session). That is how automatically I close tabs normally. A blessing and a curse.

Oh man, this perfectly sums it up.

I should watch IT Crowd again.

I have like 10 icons on my desktop. And it's mostly just junk that added itself to the desktop and I just haven't deleted it yet because I never actually see my desktop.

A hint of disgust with a trace of pity.
