Relaxed section for discussion and debate that doesn't fit anywhere else. Whether it's advice, how your week is going, a link that's at the back of your mind, or something like that, it can likely go here.

Sometimes I can't be bothered to take my hand off the mouse to type. I've sometimes caught myself clicking through half a dozen or more links to get to a page I could have typed in the address bar in a quarter of the time. Is this a weird habit?

Honestly it is a bit weird, yes, but you do you ๐Ÿ˜„

My habit for the last few years has just been adding "site:reddit.com" to my Google searches. It's more often than not given me real human answers to the questions I had, way more often than a standard search. I don't know how I'm going to adjust if Reddit just fully falls apart.

I personally find that strange. Mind, i am blind so was taught to operate computers primarily with the keyboard. I do use software magnification with the mouse but the keyboard is absolutely my primary input

Well that's as good a reason as any I'd say, lol.
