[QUOTE=Teto;46503206]And inactivity puts you at risk of quite a lot as it is.[/QUOTE] People forget that keeping things in balance means to actually do the thing, not just not overdo it. [QUOTE=Battledrobe;46503218]There's a difference between doing risky things because you have to do them and doing risky things with no good excuse. I need to commute to uni every day, I need to handle a bajillion knives when doing the dishes, I need to walk across the street to get to the other side. Sex is just needless risks with no payoff or purpose. At least for a homosexual.[/QUOTE] Sex is pleasurable though, and it helps with a lot of other internal things (such as hormones and whatnot). And if you think about it, why do you commute to uni? To go to uni, so you can attend it, so you can come out with a degree, so the rest of your life can be a little easier and a little happier. Why do you do the dishes? So you can eat off a clean plate, so you (and others) can eat with the knowledge you're eating off a clean plate, which makes everything short-term a little easier. Why do you cross the road? To make your destination closer than a different, longer route. Really, everything someone does is just to make things easier and happier for themselves and others around them, and while they're on different levels, they all equate to the same goal, so the fact that something has a risk and no long-term payoff/purpose isn't really an excuse to avoid it like the plague. [sp]if i wanted to be really meta, nothing has any real purpose or long term payoff but i'd just end up depressing the people in this thread more than we all already are[/sp]

[QUOTE=JPlus;46503254] Sex is pleasurable though, and it helps with a lot of other internal things (such as hormones and whatnot).[/QUOTE] Debatable, to me sex really isn't much of a step up from masturbation, and I'd even go so far as to say it's inferior. Blowjobs taste like piss and hurt my jaw if I'm on the receiving end and feel like wet cold socks if I'm on the giving end. Anal just feels like taking a dump in reverse. I can honestly say I've never had an orgasm while having sex. There's literally no reason I shouldn't just jack off if that's my only way to climax during sex. [QUOTE=redback3;46503236]You sound really boring, I have to be honest.[/QUOTE] Never said otherwise. I like it that way though.

You could still be attracted to guys in a romantic but nonsexual way, you know.

I may well be wrong of course, but just asking you from this angle.

First pre-bday gift: 20 euros and 2 packages of chocolate alcoholic bums and a couple of ministatues. Not complaining but man, i really hate chocolate alcoholic bums.

Speaking of alchohol, bought my mum a bottle of this for christmas since she loves Kahlua and Gingerbread [img]https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-6gw9Y-x97JE/VGjT5SaLc4I/AAAAAAAAHMk/u0Vn0NaZH9k/s0/2014-11-17_02-42-11.png[/img] Friend bought some as well and we tried it, now I need to go back and buy a bottle for myself :v: [editline]17th November 2014[/editline] Also it comes with a cute little santa hat on top

[QUOTE=Teto;46503485]Reminds me of myself, vaguely. Do you have trust/intimacy issues as well? I may well be wrong of course, but just asking you from this angle.[/QUOTE] Kind of? I don't really trust people with personal stuff.

[QUOTE=kaze4159;46503459]Oh you'll know when the bearings start to go, I had the 120 in my PSU wear out, sounded like a lawnmower mixed with somebody hitting the case with a ruler :v: [/QUOTE] I'm probably one of the few people that has a service interval on their PSU. About once a year I need to take the fan out and give the bearings some grease. Makes a hell of a racket otherwise. Of course I [i]could[/i] just replace the fan. But its hardly an inconvenience really.

[QUOTE=Battledrobe;46503634]Kind of? I don't really trust people with personal stuff.[/QUOTE] Guess so then? It's hard to imagine being in an intimate, emotionally-exposed, personal relationship with someone if you haven't felt close enough to someone to have those feelings. And you can't achieve that if you don't allow people to see you. Trust is only achieved through being emotionally-exposed, and then being accepted, in my book. Naturally people latch onto that feeling of understanding, and having someone with whom you can be totally open without fear of betrayal or rejection. That's what ends up forging connections between people; being around people who make you feel good about yourself. You can't get that validation or understanding if you don't keep your heart open. For what it's worth, this is equally for my own benefit. These are the problems I'm facing right now, and I guess it's cool if other people see something of themselves in it as well.

Apparently the chocolate alcoholic bums were those for hanging on the christmas tree. Oh well, they´ll be there more useful.

[QUOTE=Toy_Soldier;46503068]I'm kinda in the same boat. I was thinking about coming out to my parents after this deployment but I'm not sure if I should even bother since I've gotten to the point where I've given up on getting in a relationship. I've just kinda accepted the fact I'll be alone for the rest of my life. It's not that no one's interested in me either, someone was asking me for company last night and I turned them down. I think part of my problem is my depression, I'm so busy wallowing in my own self loathing that I can't generate the effort to feel attachment to someone else. I'd rather just be alone.[/QUOTE] Its not really the same boat You have depression, which is the reason you have those feelings. Its no laughing matter either, illogical as those feelings are depression is a bitch because of how it destroys your ability to have a positive self image or drive. It is different from actively hiding from yourself and others against all reason because of denial. Its clear you'd rather not be in the situation you are in, but find it hard to get out because depression is a wall that prevents that from happening.

[QUOTE=Viva;46501561]Whats your boot order out of curiosity?[/QUOTE]SSD first. Here's what happens in details..maybe someone can shed some light: Whenever the computer is started it immediately goes to the "Select boot device" screen which doesn't actually work if I select a device from there because it just reboots and does the same thing. If I press cancel and it goes into the bios, I just click "exit without saving settings" and it boots up correctly. The issue is kind of problematic if my computer restarts automatically cause it'll just sit on the boot selection screen until I do the process above. [editline]16th November 2014[/editline] I've just learned to live with it, mostly. At one point it didn't do this at all for about 6 months. The next time I rebooted it did and has been doing it ever since. It's an intermittent issue but it definitely lasts quite a long time for being intermittent.

It's the depression wall that's just preventing the will/drive to make any sort of connection. I can be sitting here doing absolutely nothing for hours, hoping in the back of my mind that someone messages me, and when someone does, all of the sudden, I won't won't to talk and all I can manage is one word responses. It's a shitty thing, but the depression filters your emotions so much that it's really all you can manage. I'm surprised people still give me the time of day at this point. About the being alone thing, I'm in the same boat as well. Trust me, though. Whether they step into your life or you step into theirs, you WILL have someone. Everyone has a chance to find that person, and in the end, I think you will. You're a nice enough fellow c:

Also i wanna say one thing: Battledrobe, you're exhibiting text-book denial at this point dude. You can go ahead and continue on your current path, but you're never gonna be happy. This doesn't even have to do with homosexuality, it has to do with you denying the very way you work. I don't give a fuck about sex, legitimately don't and in fact i'd even agree with you in that i prefer masturbation for pleasure. but your take on sex is god damn laughably naive and misconstrued. Put it this way, you're still young, sit on it for a few years, puberty fucks with your mind in a multitude of ways, if you still feel this way by 25 then good luck lying to yourself for your whole entire life, hope it goes well.

Honestly if you want the best increase of overall performance, focus on a new cpu first.
