I am straight, but I have a story to go with this about what happened to me recently. I went out to a bar with my best friend and his brother like we do sometimes, anyhow they took me to some bar Downtown that I guess has gay nights on specific days of the week. The reason why we went there is because my friend works with a lot of lesbians and they told us to come there. I didn?t know it was gay night and I doubt they did either, so there I was getting drunk and hitting on some girls, it didn?t bother me where we were. About an hour into the whole thing two guys come and sit at our table and start talking to us, I could tell right away that at least one of them was gay, the other one looked straight. Soon enough they start hitting on me, and well they must have been really horny because they were telling me all this stuff how I have never had a real ?bj? unless it was from a guy. They started freaking me out. Oddly enough I realized right there how horny guys were compared to girls, I wish girls were all li:D that :D. Anyhow I left pretty quickly after that. When I got home I felt like crap though it really bothered me that I had guys hitting on me. Just thinking about it makes me feel depressed for some reason.

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.

simply, you are entitled to your opinions...as I am. :D

I have to say i disagree with asexuality. These people need to seriously consider whether or not the things and the people they love are worth living for, because if they have nothing to love worth living for, they may as well just fade away.

It seems like a sad way to live. But if you are asexual you still love people, just in a different way, isn't that right?

Right,:/ and you don't think they have some kind of hobbie or craft that they enjoy more than sex?

I believe he was referring to procreation, and starting a family. Who mentioned 'sex?'

So, what should we do about people too old to have kids? What about people who can't have kids? What about adoption? There are plenty of orphans to go around.

... What are you talking about? You can live a very happy life without the desire to have sex with people.

Just FYI: There are a couple different kinds of 'asexuals'. (I really can't stand that word, but since everybody likes to use it i guess i will.)

One kind is being attracted to people romantically but not sexually. In other words, you'll date someone and you'll 'be in love' with someone, but you have absolutely no interest in having sex with anybody.

Another kind is not being attracted to anyone romantically OR sexually. In other words, you're just kind of there. You don't want to date anyone or have sex with anyone. That doesn't mean you're anti-social or a jerk or anything, it just means you're not interested in any of that.

And then the last kind that i know of is not being attracted to anyone AT ALL. That means not romantically, not sexually, and not physically. (By physically i mean that you aren't able to tell when one person is 'hotter' than another person.) The same thing applies, though -- this doesn't mean that you're a jerk, it just means that you don't find one person any more physically attractive than another. I'm pretty sure this is the most extreme form of asexuality and it's very rare to find people like this.

I am personally either the first or second. I've never been in love, so i can't really say whether or not i'm not attracted to people romantically. Maybe it's not possible for me to be attracted to people romantically, or maybe i just haven't found the right person. Hard to say. But i've never wanted to have sex with anybody. I am able to tell when one person is 'hotter' than another one, though, so... guess i could be weirder. <_<

That doesn't mean that i don't 'love' people (like my family). It just means that i haven't ever felt the desire to be 'in love' (or have sex) with someone.

Well Lav maybe you should try and get yourself out there or something you know? meeting new girls or guys whatever.. I mean you can't expect everything to come to you... i mean it might the person of your dreams could suddenly one day be infront of you... but if you never gave it any thought well then obviously.... its a lil harder for something like that to happen to you.

I don't think you get it. I don't feel the need to 'try and get [my]self out there'. I honestly have no impulse to do anything like that. I'm happy the way i am. If i ever do find the person of my dreams, that's great, and i would welcome it, but it would be a totally chance happening. A person goes around 'meeting new girls or guys' because they think that they're lonely and that they need romantic companionship. I don't think either of those things, so why would i go waste my time doing stuff that's totally useless to me? (Not to say that i don't believe in love -- love is a very sacred subject that i believe in completely. I've just never experienced it and i don't plan to any time soon.)

Lav go change your name to 'bog' as you talk utter faeces.

What the Hell is it with people on Neowin who just join a thread and say something totally retarded without explaining their reasoning? You could have just as well said 'u suk lav' or maybe 'haha ur a fartnocker' and that would have been just as intelligent, and probably easier to type.

^ yeah i was gonna say if you feel that you have no need for it, well all the power to ya ;) Its cool not to care like that, i wish i could do that sometimes when i talk to this girl....the only girl that does that to me haha...

    • 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. The fact that the CPU is a "cellphone", sorry mobile phone processor is irrelevant. It's about the experience, and so far, that sounds quite solid.
    • 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.
