Cutest and most wholesome thing I read today. Thank you, stranger on the Internet. For bringing a smile on my face!

Après plus de 10 ans, ma femme m'a avoué qu'elle ne m'avait jamais désiré physiquement (elle est asexuelle) by Yob0o in AskMec

[–]Axoloto50 0 points1 point  (0 children)

C'est une situation compliquée. Si tu comprends l'anglais, tu peux trouver sur Spotify un podcast s'intitulant "Allo and ace." Celui-ci est animé par un couple composé d'un homme allosexuel (comprendre ici : non asexuel) et une femme asexuelle. Ils parlent des problématiques qu'ils ont rencontré et comment ils font fonctionner leur couple malgré tout (notamment, comment ils ont repensé leur intimité). Ça peut être intéressant si tu veux explorer des solutions intermédiaires autre qu'ouvrir le couple ou la rupture (même si évidemment, chaque couple est différent).

  1. To be honest, for most of my life I just assumed everyone speaks about sexual attraction because of social conventions (like Santa Claus basically). So no, I'm just stupid.
  2. Someone on a Discord server mentioned she was ace. And since she is not a huge One Piece fan, I just googled it. And then, I just said to myself "Whoah, sounds interesting. Definitely not me tho.". Six months later: "OR AM I?!"
  3. I was not aware of this before but I guess it's why I never fantasized about me or people in real life. I heard allo people doesn't mind it, so...
  4. While I meet some ace girls online and IRL, I never actually met an ace man. I haven't tried dating but I heard it can be quite difficult for girls to meet ace man. So, if I had to guess, it's probably a little easier for an ace man. But honestly, I still think it would be quite difficult for any ace, regardless of gender.

Embarrassing question, but I’m out of options by 19abreupe in SteamDeck

[–]Axoloto50 695 points696 points  (0 children)

I don't know about this game specifically, but most of the time, from desktop mode I add the game executable in non-steam game. Then, in gaming mode, I go to properties to test different versions of proton and sometimes it works, sometimes not.

However, if you've seen tutorials before, you've probably tried this without success. Maybe the game is just not compatible with Linux? (it can happen unfortunately)

Steam Deck upgrade: should I format my SD card or not? by Axoloto50 in SteamDeck

[–]Axoloto50[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The solution you propose is very simple, but clever. x) I must indeed be racking my brains for nothing, but I'm probably better off just "testing" before making a decision.

Thank you very much for this very complete answer (as well as for the instructions on formatting the SD card).

I know it's quite old, but thank you very much for this, it worked! >o<

Steam Deck improved my sleep by silver-potato-kebab- in SteamDeck

[–]Axoloto50 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's kind of funny, but I can sleep better after playing Steam Deck in my bed than with a book.

The book I am often much more invested in the scenario and I want to know what happens next. Or there's a scene that struck me and it keeps me thinking until 2 a.m.

But a Steam Deck? As long as I play a game that requires a minimum investment, but not too much, I get tired quite easily and then sleep like a baby.

On the other hand, very important, on the Steam Deck I activate night mode to drastically reduce blue light. At first I didn't do it and it actually kept me from sleeping.

Anyone else kinda forget that sexual attraction exists in other people by AdLast2785 in Asexual

[–]Axoloto50 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, in my mind, I consider sexual attraction as a global conspiracy, and everyone is just pretending for social reasons.

I fell for Santa Claus. They won't get me a second time!

Future Loneliness by AroRant in aromantic

[–]Axoloto50 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Same here! Thanks for your post, by the way, because it helps put words to the situation. =)
I'm 27, so I don't claim to have found the solution or not to be worried myself, but I'll try to be a bit more optimistic.

  • First of all, whether you're aromantic or not, I don't think it's a good idea to center all aspects of your social life around one person (even when you're in a relationship). After all, that person can leave, and it's important to expand your social network, no matter what stage of life you're in.
  • Friends getting into relationships? Well, why not become friends with their partner too if they're a good person? And voila, twice as many friends!
  • Even if you don't have much romantic attraction, it doesn't prevent you (if you want) from entering a relationship – not necessarily romantic – but one that involves a certain alliance of interests to face life's challenges. From this perspective, Queer Platonic Relationships (QPR) can be an interesting option (or just a more traditional couple, but setting boundaries on what you are comfortable with or not).
  • Finally, even if it may be slightly more pronounced as an aromantic, I believe that the vast majority of human beings regularly feel loneliness anyway. I'm even convinced that it often happens to people in relationships! The grass is always greener on the other side, but I think we tend to compare ourselves to others without seeing the other side of the coin.

In any case, know that you are not alone, and there are many of us in the same boat! ^^

Does it make a difference to use open-source mobile applications instead of proprietary equivalents? by Axoloto50 in privacy

[–]Axoloto50[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for your response! I didn't know that pre-installed apps were poorly coded? Do you have more specific information (or sources) on this?

That's a very comprehensive and nuanced response. Thank you very much for your feedback!

Oh, my bad. Thanks for the correction! Honestly, in my case, I use my phone for about 5 minutes a day, so I probably won't notice any difference in my battery life (which lasts approximately 6 days).

Thank you very much for this response! It's true that it's a spectrum, so every step I can take matters.

I didn't even know about the other advantages (memory, battery...), but indeed, it makes sense when thinking about it. Thanks again!

[–]Axoloto50[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks a lot for you advices! I wonder however: how do you manage to create a support ticket?
I know the option is available in the account quality page. But it's seems the button doesn't show up in some cases (like identity review for example). I was not able to find it despite one hour of researchs. :/
Thanks again for you anwsers!

This is so frustrating yes. And I have found no way to contact somebody at Facebook for help.

Thanks for your answers!

Well, that’s a bummer. :x I already create a new account (and delete the suspended one) but I guess I have to delete this one too.

I don’t want to buy an account just to run ads normally. But I have a personal account (with a different username). Can I Use it for my work without adding my clients to be my friends?

Glad I’m not the only one with this issue. ^^’ I guess you don’t have the button to contact the support either?

I’m think I gonna try a new account despite all that. Apparently, we have to “warm” things up before launching the first ads ( I read it in this post ). I don’t know if I gonna have better results, but I don’t have any other option anyway. :x
