    Anyone has the Split Personality Disorder?

    I don't have disassociate identity disorder or do I know anyone who has it. The topic fascinates me though. The human brain is an amazing thing. The fact that we have the ability to compartmentalize certain parts of ourselves to protect ourselves if/when we are placed in extremely traumatic...

    When your weekend goes bad?

    I suppose it depends on the reason. If I've let little things annoy me and I'm just in a grumpy mood and early night usually does the trick for me. However, if something tragic happens - I find talking to people I trust helps tremendously.

    PS5 Pro: Buy or Pass?

    I will probably get it when the hype dies down and there are ample in stock. Once upon a time I would be one of the ones in line to grab one of the first releases but those days are behind me. :)

    RIP Internet Explorer

    For work projects I always test things out on the major browsers like Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, and even Brave but I've never considered checking Internet Explorer. Do you guys remember Netscape Navigator? I remember using them back in the day.

    Memory Foam Mattresses and Pillows, anyone?

    I have a tempur-pedic mattress that I've had since 2010. The next time we upgrade I believe it will be more of a spring mattress. It's been alright for us these years but I want to go back to springs or a dual type mattress of some sort.

    How often do you replace your computer?

    Usually I upgrade to a new computer around 6 years average. However, this Macbook Pro I've had since 2013 and it's still running strong. The only thing I've found myself having to do is deleting apps and files when it comes to upgrading to the latest update but... for the most part it still runs...

    Forums Vs. Blogs

    I think each has its own purpose. Blogs are more geared to hosting information where forums encourages more engagement in my opinion. I've tried my hand at both and I just enjoy forums more myself.

    Changing niche

    For me, Serene Distraction naturally evolved and adjusted to the interests of its members. When I first started the forum it was primarily a poetry forum. It's now considered a Creative Arts forum which covers areas (but not limited to) poetry, stories, photography, digital art, etc.

    What are you watching right now?

    I am about to log off and finally watch The Batman. I haven't had a chance to watch it yet. I understand that it's a longer movie so hopefully I can get through it before I nod off to sleep!

    RIP Internet Explorer

    I was really surprised to hear about this. I thought this software had been obsolete for years already. I still find myself wanting to quickly adjust my settings when Microsoft Edge is set as the standard browser.

    iOS 16

    I do like the Focus function as well - I avoid looking at my phone altogether when I'm working which is not always a good thing because sometimes my co-workers and boss tend to text me for quick questions and I don't always respond timely. However, with the new Focus filters I like how I can...

    Food stamp shaming?

    No matter how much I may disagree with anyone I am not the type to shame them. It's not my place to judge. Exception being is if someone is being hurt then I would definitely intervene if I am in a position to do so, for food stamps though? No way. If you're "cheating the system" I believe...

    Night Light

    Yes I have night mode activated after 7:00pm. It helps me psychologically... I find it harder to read with it on so ultimately I end up putting the phone away which is probably good practice to do a couple of hours before bed anyway.

    What app did you last use?

    FaceTime here. Fridays are one of the days I try to catch up with family and video chat with them for a bit.

    Favourite Cheesecake Flavours?

    I went on a night out with my girlfriends a while ago and we had dinner at the Cheesecake Factory. I ordered the Snickers cheesecake and it tasted amazing - I still think about it. lol

    I have friends who don't even bother and just assume that you know what they're trying to say. I'm the type that will correct myself, every time. lol

    Electric Cars

    I heard that the most expensive part of an electric vehicle is the battery. As soon as they can figure out a way to lower that cost in making the sooner we can have affordable electric cars. I love the idea of owning one but it doesn't make sense financially to acquire one at this time for us.

    Do you collect anything?

    I used to collect various things in the past but I've since stopped examples being: Chococat merch, stamps, and CDs just to name a few. Actually, now that I think about it I've started a Vinyl collection (Records) but I'm being selective of which ones I own... not just hoarding everyone I come...

    The last thing you bought

    That sounds more than the other one you mentioned in the other thread - did you end up picking a different laptop?
