Ryzen 7 delidding videos looks more interesting than Intel delidding videos

 

What makes this more interesting?  I haven't seen any delidding videos before this just now btw.

My people would consider this very unpatriotic of me but I'm glad that Australian boxer Jeff Horn defeated conservative Christian boxer Manny Pacquiao.

Howdy folks, so i have been questioning myself where or not i wanted to post here. Basically I'm Bisexual, but haven't really come out to anyone as of yet. I have had a number of... experiences should we say with guys in the past but my family aren't the most accepting of differences. Anyone willing to tell me some coming out stories/tips?

 

cheers!

I told my mum earlier this year, Immediately after I told her, she asked if I was dating someone who is a friend of mine, which was wrong and was quite awkward. I have since stated that I don't want her to talk about my relationships to her quite yet, and she hasn't asked since.

 

But now she tells me whenever a gay couple is on Grand Designs, and the other day, she told me an uncle that her father had that commited suicide (the 1st time she had ever mentioned him), who was also gay, - which being gay was irrelevant to why he died, but she made it sound like that was the reason.

 

I haven't told my dad, I am probably going to email him that, not that I am scared of him knowing (I think he already knows and has been trying to give me hints to say it), but I don't know how to say it.

Cheers for that, it's my dad and younger brother that most concern me. My dad is an Irish decedent farmer.... very, men are hard working and have wives who cook for them kinda thing. My brother is a very manly man who goes weight lifting and comes out with comments such as 'gay people aren't natural' and 'If my family was gay I don't think I could speak to them'... so you know... not really a good place to be in.

I don't know. If you have your own place, so don't live with your parents, you are going to be fine, they may avoid you for a bit if they have anything against being gay and the LGBT community, but they will likely get over themselves and forgive you eventually. But if you live with them, you have to worry about the culture that they might provide after they get told, or how they may react; like kick you out temporarily.

 

Distance might be the way you want to tell them, like calling them, texting them or sending them an email, that makes you safe from verbal and physical attacks, and it might be easier since you cannot see them, but in-person is also a good way of doing it, they can see the need in your eyes and might be more respectful and understanding of you.

 

There is no right of coming out, there is just a lot of things you need to consider before you do it.

Thanks for that, I live with my mum as I am her carer so that probably won't be/can't change atm. My mum isn't too bad i think shell just take it as it is and not give one, but my brother still lives with us, I don't see my dad very much these days as it is and i really wouldn't want to lose his completely, even if he is a big K**b.

While I can't comment about myself (straight as an arrow), my sister is bisexual.

She is currently married to a man, but she has dated girls in the past.

 

She basically just came out by saying she was bisexual when she was 14. 

if I remember correctly she just invited her then partner of for dinner with my parent (and me) and that partner was a girl. 

No questions were asked during the dinner. The day after my mother just asked my sister if she was a lesbian and my sister stated that she was quite certain she was bisexual. 

My dad's only comment was something to the effect of: "I don't care who you're fucking as long as I don't have to participate".

The question about her sexuality was never brought up again by me, my parents or any other members of our family.

If you need to express your sexuality with your father, just tell him: He will get over it sooner or later; but if you need the relationship to work for the time being: Don't tell him now, tell him when you must or you think telling him would be more stable.

Thanks, you've been quite helpful! It's good to just talk about it without fear tbh.

Maybe he was too busy praying to fight effectively?  lol

 

I found this a few days ago.  It seems relevant here but I'll put it in a spoiler in case it might offend anyone.  

 

Spoiler

It's mostly the part about don't shove your beliefs in my face part that I like.  

 

People who try to force their religious views on me annoy me a lot.

Something to consider, fellow buggerers.

Never understood the push for gay marriage. It provides no tangible benefits, only potential negatives.

What a compelling argument. Got any more 'wisdom' to share?

 

[EDIT]

 

I should clarify that I don't believe that marriage is something desireable in general.
