My vegetative state of can't-be-arsed for a lot of things. I admire/envy/hate (randomly) people who can, go and do stuff.

More realistic - my first name (of directly religious meaning) and surname (prone to misspelling and derogatories). National law doesn't allow this.

Not sure, I like being who I am.

I guess if I could change anything it would be my height. I'm comparatively short compared to most men so I lose out on relationships. Then again anyone who goes for tallness rather than personality probably isn't worth anybody's time anyway.

Hmm, nope then. I'm happy.

If I appied my mind to a given subject instead of bull**** I would be far further than I am in life, far too many things distract me! My mind needs to know everything at once and because of this I never really focus properly. Perhaps a failing or maybe it defines me, I'm not sure!

If you could change one thing in your life,

regardless of the possible consequences,

what would it be ?

what would it mean for you ?

Would you change anything ?

I would like to change my lazzy habbits..

many time i thought i'll do something for myself, but i didn't... i wanna be a punchual.

>.>; <.<;

When I was 21(I am 28 now), I attended an Anime Convention in a nearby city and ended up meeting an amazing woman who, to this day, I have found no equal. The thing I would change is the fact that I introduced her to my friends before capturing her interest and she ended up with another friend of mine.

The only thing that would prevent me from changing this, if I had some sort of time machine or something, is the fact that she and the man she is with now produced the most amazing little girl I have ever met. :-P

I wish I spent more time with my father. I wish I could tell him I forgive him. So many things have happened since he passed, that I wish I could just share with him. I wish I could have at least shared one drink with him. Just one.

Like others- probably appreciate the ones I have lost more, taken more time listening to my late Grandfather's stories he used to tell (he was blind and loved to tell stories that as kids we thought were boring), and build a stronger relationship with my Dad who passed in 2007.

There was this girl that I liked for ages, we were one of those weirdly close best friend type deals and I thought I had been friend zoned. A year ago she got together with this guy and she really likes him, a couple of months ago one of her other friends was talking to me and she asked why I had never made a move on the girl and I said it's because we were just good friends and that I did like her but just didn't think she was into me. Then her friend told me that she had liked me for about 2 years and she kept flirting with me but I just ignored it. I'd convinced myself that she didn't like me so whenever she flirted with me I acted awkward or brushed it off thinking it was a joke and because of that she gave up and went elsewhere.

I've changed that now, and not just when it comes to woman, if I want something to happen then I don't just sit around telling myself that it won't or waiting for it to happen itself, I make it happen... or at least try :p

So long story short the only thing I'd change is the timing of me growing some balls to a year and a half ago!

Earlier in my life I would have said my height. I'm between 5' 5" - 5' 6" and I used to want to be taller in my late teens / early twenties, but to be honest it doesn't really bother me anymore.

Can't really think of anything else, maybe a better memory? :p

I would love to have an excellent work ethic, and not see it as a huge life downer that stops me from enjoying life.

I've got something about work I wish I could change, not sure if it relates to you or not,

I look at people who work, work as a whole, and then life, and I see one thing only,

You work to live, and you live to work, then you get a few years as a grey old person, then you die.

I've got a bee in my bonnet about that, I continuously think, "What TF is the point in life if you spend your days doing something you hate / if you're lucky, like, but still spend your entire able life working just to live ?"

Kinda makes life pointless imo, I know and 100% understand you can not rely on others to survive, and work is 99% of the way out and away from that, but you know what, I disagree, I would prefer to live life in a wooden cabin, miles from anyone, living off the land and have my life to myself / spend with my partner, than donate 90% of my life to someone who needs sausage rolls put in a cardboard packet (example)

My life is mine, and yes I have to pay for what I want, but I would prefer to be without than (and if this was possible) look down at my life in fast forward and see the young me, turn into the old grey me, having done sweet FA other than worked for someone my whole life for no other reason than to be alive....

    • AMD releases hotfix for driver install issues on Windows 10 PCs by Taras Buria Earlier this week, AMD released an important graphics driver update. Version 26.6.2 brought AMD FSR 4.1 support to the previous-gen Radeon lineup, the RX 7000 series, giving users better upscaling tech that was previously locked to the newest GPUs. However, the driver turned out to be a little buggy, with users reporting installation issues on systems still running Windows 10. AMD quickly acknowledged the bug and today released a hotfix to resolve the problem. The AMD 26.6.3 Hotfix update is now available for download from the official website. Given that it is a hotfix release, it has only one change in its release notes: AMD announced the update on its official X account and added that a WHQL driver update with the necessary fixes would be released next week. Meanwhile, users can apply the hotfix or roll back to the previous driver using the official AMD Cleanup Utility. You can download AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.6.3 Hotfix Preview Driver from the official website here. It is compatible with all currently supported graphics cards and 64-bit Windows 10 and 11. Full release notes are available on the same page.
    • With Microsoft now listening to its core audience and acting upon received feedback, fans can finally expect a much better version of Windows 11 than what was available five years ago. Here is to five more years, Windows 11! I guess we all need a good laugh now and again...
    • Amazon Prime Day 2026 deal sees Samsung Odyssey 49" 240Hz QD-OLED monitor at lowest price by Sayan Sen Earlier today we covered a very good deal on JBL's BAR 800 Dolby Atmos soundbar system as the unit is available for just $600 as part of Amazon Prime Day 2026 deals. That's not all though as there are many more discounts to choose from. If you are looking for a high-end monitor, Samsung's 49 inch G9 QD-OLED gaming monitor is a solid deal too as it's currently just $855 (purchase link under the specs table down below). It is a super-ultrawide (32:9) 1440p curved gaming monitor and as such should offer a very immersive experience. The G93SC is a 49-inch QD-OLED (Quantum Dot OLED) screen and that means it should have excellent contrast as well as color reproduction. Brightness is a bit lacking though so if you are looking to set it up in a relatively bright room, you may be better off with something else. Speaking of external light and brightness, the major difference on the G93SC vs the newer G93SD is that the latter comes with Samsung's "Glare Free" technology to reduce glare while the C model packs a glossy finish. The technical specifications of the Samsung G93SC are given in the table below: Specification Value Panel Type OLED Screen Shape Curved Screen Curvature 1800R Resolution DQHD (5120 × 1440) Aspect Ratio 32:9 Brightness (Typical) 250 cd/m² Brightness (Minimum) 200 cd/m² Contrast Ratio 1,000,000:1 HDR Support VESA DisplayHDR True Black 400 HDR10+ HDR10+ Gaming Response Time 0.03 ms (GTG) Refresh Rate Up to 240 Hz Viewing Angle 178° Horizontal / 178° Vertical Color Support 1 Billion Colors Color Gamut 99% DCI-P3 (CIE1976) Adaptive Sync FreeSync Premium Pro / G-SYNC Compatible DisplayPort 1 × DisplayPort 1.4 HDMI 1 × HDMI 2.1 Micro HDMI 1 × Micro HDMI 2.1 USB Hub 3 × USB 3.0 Speakers Built-in Speaker Output 5W × 2 Channels Operating Temperature 10°C – 40°C Operating Humidity 10–80% (Non-condensing) Stand Type Height Adjustable Stand (HAS) Height Adjustment 120.0 ± 5.0 mm Tilt -2° (±2°) to 15° (±2°) Wall Mount 100 × 100 mm (VESA) Included HDMI Cable HDMI-to-Micro HDMI Cable Included DisplayPort Cable Yes Get it at the link below: Samsung 49" Odyssey G93SC Series Curved Gaming Monitor, QD-OLED: $854.99 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US with Prime) Prime subscription can be cancelled within three business days at no cost.

    • Actually Windows 11 is the GUI from Windows 10 X slapped onto Windows 10. Hence the many performance issues and initial limitations of the UI, like all the restrictions on the task bar placement and features. You could not even right click on the Taskbar and bring up task manager when it first shipped. Windows 10X was truly a new OS from the ground up. Basically a lightweight OS that ran containers for various app types. Win32 got its own container. Performance was not good and OEM’s pushed back on it, but wanted a new OS to push Pc sales. Hence Windows 11. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_10X
