I find this discussion to be out of bounds, this is the same thing as having gay marches and demanding people to accept things they do behind closed doors......

If this is truely a thing of "love" or whatever...keep it to yourself and your lover...do not ask others for approval of what you do....not for public discourse. If you bring it to the table be prepared for people to judge.

I do not discuss my sex life with "folks" somethings belong in the closet.

Being gay or straight isn't only your sex life, it's your interests. If you are attracted to the same sex, you are homosexual, not confined to having sex with the same sex.

However you miss your own point, discuss this with your peers with the same intrests...bring it outside of that just opens others hostility....would you not agree?

I'm straight. Sorry, but the thought of a hairy, smelly man ass doesn't appeal to me. It's and exit hole people. An EXIT hole!!!!! It's for teh poopoo to come out of!!!1!!11oneone!1

It *can* but it doesn't have to. The trick is to present your opinion and views in a way that doesn't rub people the wrong way, something that I apparently have to learn how to do :blush:

ah...you never have to rub people the wrong way, just know what is personal and keep it as such. If the topic comes up for debate then prepare for a debate. Always be honest in your debate...or you are only convincing yourself.

adj.

Having or showing receptiveness to new and different ideas or the opinions of others. See Synonyms at broad-minded.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

where does it say you have to discuss it? Hardly going to dicuss it with someone who has already been insulting. What id does mean however is what I've already posted. That you accept others have thier own beliefs, you don't have to agree with em.

You weren't very receptive to my ideas. In fact you didn't even let me compare my opinions to your own.

make your own thread on the topic, as it seems you aren't secure with your own beliefs. ;)

585157182[/snapback]

You are right, I am not secure. I always question myself and what I believe. That's one of the benefits of discussing things on a forum as other people's opinions help shape my own :)

Receptive? I accept you have yours, which are different than mine and I do not feel I need to "discuss" it with you. Open minded does not mean I have to discuss yours or my beliefs if I choose not to. Open mindedness is simply accepting that others have their own beliefs, and respecting that they are entitled to have them.

No need to challenge, this is a personal thing......if I were to stumble on such an act...I would be embarrassed for the participants...why....it is a gut feeling...I am not a very religious person...but we all have a core that tells us what is right or wrong. If we all were gay or bent we would not be....

Some folks like doing things that are perverted....I am not saying anything here....but most folks know what I mean....doing sex acts with animals, children, consenting adults, (some countries adult age is 12) dolls, or whatever....that person and that person alone knows.....if what they are doing is right or wrong...not up to the rest of us.

You have a good point, but not everybody is uncomfortable discussing these things.

Nobody should think less of you if you are not willing to clarify or explain your position, especially with a topic such as this. But I would like somebody who has the same general opinion as Samoa, to explain their position to me so I can understand what they are basing it on, because as you all know, not everybody thinks the same.

I like to question everything people say, not to attack them but to learn. I do the same thing to myself, my beliefs are not set in stone and are open to influence from what other people have to say and what I learn going through life.

So, let's talk

^ it would seem much of the world has my general opinion. Just ask someone you know.. ;)

besides, discussing ones's beliefs here on neowin only leads to trolls and what not bashing you for what you believe. It's a setup, why do it? It's clearly a topic that only someone who is insecure in what they believe feels the need to discuss.

Some things can only be learned through exactly what you ask for....I hope I have helped...others will?.Ultimately you will take things through your own life experiences...and come to your own conclusions....but what matters is how you live your life and if you have children how you want them to live theirs....Merry Christmas and goodnight....

It is always best...

i find this kinda thing "questioning sexual orientation" irritating, and nobody elses business. but im glad everyone else is having fun plz don't let me spoil it. carry on

I know there are a lot of immature people here but maybe you aren't giving enough credit to the mature people that can discuss without getting offended or flaming.

Edit:

You don't seem to understand. It's not about being "insecure" its about keeping an open mind and hearing what other people have to say.

What harm is there in explaining yourself, or listening to someone's point of view? I am not afraid of somebody attacking my views, so I am saying again, I am open to discussing this with anybody, privately if you want, it is all the same to me.

    • But the reality is it will work for people's needs, and they don't care about the technology that makes it. Clearly not everyone's needs, but that low end space where personal laptops were only used to type emails, watch content and browse websites, but they didn't want to do that on a small screen device. Heck, writing that out I can now see the connection and reason it'll do so well. Apple is about experience. If the experience is bad, they don't release it. Low end Windows laptop manufacturers up until this point have not taken that into consideration ever before, so slow laggy usage with brittle slimey plastic shells were common. I hope that the low end space at least creates better physical products that last a bit longer, and if Microsoft get their act together, they could also have a solid OS on such low end hardware that would actually make the experience work for what the hardware was intended for.
    • Hello, Bonjour is Apple's implementation of a multicast-DNS service, which allows devices running Apple's software and/or hardware to find each other on your local network.  I believe the Windows version was last updated around 2010. If you do not need it, you can stop and disable the Bonjour service in the Services Control Manager (filename: SERVICES.MSC).  Once you have done that, the operating system will no longer attempt to load the service.

    • This AMD RX 9070 16GB GPU that performs close to Nvidia 5070 is under $600 by Sayan Sen With the memory shortage that's prevalent nowadays, discounts are super-hard to get. As such we post good deals whenever they pop up. Recently, we covered a few great discounts on SSDs wherein you can get a 4TB TeamGroup NVMe PCIe Gen4 drive for just $400 thanks to a special coupon. If you want a faster product but don't need all that capacity, you can also opt for Samsung's 990 PRO 2TB that is on sale for its lowest price in over three months. Let's say though that you are on the hunt for a 1440p gaming card. In that case AMD's RX 9070 non-XT can help, and with its 16GB VRAM, you can also run AI models locally without worrying about bottlenecking (check out our recent 9070 GRE reviews for gaming and productivity to get an idea). The PowerColor Reaper variant of the RX 9070 is currently on sale for just $580 which is a very good price in the current state of affairs (purchase link under the specs table down below). The Reaper cooler on this 9070 uses a triple‑fan design with ring‑blade fans, paired with premium dual ball bearings to extend lifespan and reduce friction. "Intelligent" fan control allows the fans to remain idle at lower temperatures, only spinning up when the GPU is under load. A nickel‑plated copper base makes direct contact with both the GPU and memory modules, helping to spread heat evenly. PowerColor also applies Honeywell PTM7950 phase‑change thermal interface material (TIM), which fills microscopic gaps between the die and heatsink for more efficient thermal transfer. The fan shroud is shorter in height as the firm has made it such that it can be used in certain SFF (small form factor) cases. The technical specifications of the Reaper RX 9070 are given in the table below: Specification Value Stream Processors 3584 Units Video Memory 16GB GDDR6 Memory Speed 20.0 Gbps Memory Interface 256-bit Engine Clock Game Clock: up to 2070 MHz Boost Clock: up to 2520 MHz Bus Standard PCI Express 5.0 x16 Display Connectors 1 x HDMI 2.1b, 3 x DisplayPort 2.1a Maximum Resolution DisplayPort: 7680 × 4320 HDMI: 7680 × 4320 Board Dimensions 289mm × 111mm × 41mm 304mm × 127mm × 42mm (with bracket) Slot 2 Minimum System Power Requirement 600W Power Connectors Two 8-pin PCI Express Get the PowerColor Reaper RX 9070 at the links below (you get only a 90-day warranty on Woot): PowerColor Reaper Radeon RX 9070 16GB Graphics Card (RX9070 16G-A): $579.99 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) (Was: $700) PowerColor Reaper Radeon RX 9070 16GB Graphics Card (RX9070 16G-A): $559.99 (Sold and Shipped by Woot US) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • Are they marketed as an entry into astronomy or astrophotography? I do astrophotography. With big rigs, lots of computers, cables and headaches. I love it. And by learning this ridiculously complex hobby, I’ve learned about the objects I’m shooting. Astronomy followed from photography.
    • Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows by Usama Jawad A couple of days ago, we reported that the latest Patch Tuesday update has seemingly resulted in a lot of issues for many users, including OneDrive and Dropbox access problems, BitLocker recovery lockouts, and BSODs. Although Microsoft is yet to acknowledge these bugs, it has confirmed another, relatively smaller issue across all supported versions of Windows. In an update on its Windows Release Health Dashboard, Microsoft has confirmed that after installing June's Patch Tuesday update (KB5094126), you'll experience unexpected behavior when leveraging Recycle Bin. Basically, when you attempt to delete an item from the Recycle Bin, the confirm dialog will show you the internal file name of that content rather than the actual name. For example, the file may be named abc.png, but the confirm dialog will ask if you're sure that you want to permanently delete $Rxxxxx.png from the Recycle Bin. This is pretty much it for the scope of the bug itself; it just displays the wrong name in the confirm dialog. The correct name will be shown in the list view of the Recycle Bin and if you restore the file, it will return with the correct name as well. This issue affects pretty much all supported versions of Windows client and server, including: Client: Windows 11, version 26H1; Windows 11, version 25H2; Windows 11, version 24H2; Windows 11, version 23H2; Windows 10, version 22H2; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB 2016 Server: Windows Server 2025; Windows Server 2022; Windows Server 2019; Windows Server 2016; Windows Server 2012 R2; Windows Server 2012 As things currently stand, Microsoft is working on a concrete solution that will be released in a "future" Windows update. It remains to be seen if the firm will wait till the next Patch Tuesday or roll out an out-of-band (OOB) fix. The good news is that commercial customers can deploy a workaround right now, but they will have to reach out to Microsoft Support for Business for additional details.
