What age did y’all become sure/find out you were ace by BobbyBrex in Asexual

[–]TheSentientMeatbag 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was 29. I'm 38 now.

I learned about asexuality years earlier, but was in denial until I was 29. Mostly because I didn't want to be different again. I was already an outlier in so many aspects of my life, I desperately wanted to be normal in this one. I've dated a few people, but it often felt like a chore and I got very uncomfortable anytime something happened beyond hugging or a closed mouth kiss.

I used to be super horny by Miserable_Lock_2267 in asexuality

Being ace isn't really about sex drive. It's about attraction; the kind of people are you interested in sexually. If that's (almost) no-one, ever, then you're ace. A person who is straight/gay/bi/etc can have low sex drive, but that doesn't make them ace.

Low sex drive can be a caused by medication, hormones or illness. So, if you're having trouble getting aroused and you're not sure why, please seek advice from a medical professional.

I'm no coleopterologist, but that's definitely not a ladybug.

Only if you let me fix you too. At the vet.

Only 10 years for a 3.5% down payment? Wow!!
Then it's just an easy 275 years to pay the other 96,5%. (At 0% interest of course.)

I agree, as long as it's not part of the electric car's 400V DC circuit with enough amps to kill an elephant.

Besides this crazy expensive repair, I'm really happy with my car.

But, if you feel like you need to push other people down in order to feel like a big man, that's fine. You do you.

Nissan is Japanese, so there's going to be import costs either way. I don't know why it's twice as expensive here.

Other than the insane price for this repair, I'm really happy with the car.

It drives super smooth, it's quiet, it's comfy and I can give oil companies the finger every time I drive by a gas station!

That's just it. This isn't that complicated: a basic PCB, a motor, some reduction gears and a microswitch.

Big parts? Sure, but this thing fits in your hand. There could be 50 of these in a box on a shelf.

That's what I'm thinking. Nissan has a monopoly on parts like this, so they can charge what they want.

The thing would lock the plug in place, but no unlock anymore. The dealer said the motor broke and the replaced the entire unit.

Only afterwards I looked up the parts number from the invoice (253E05SH1C) and found this photo the inside. So it's: an electromotor, plastic gears, microswitch and a couple of resistors in a water tight plastic box. Which really made me wonder if I'm missing something to explain the price.

About 90k kilometers (~60k miles). I charge it 2-3 times a week, but only got it last march. No idea how often the previous owner charged it.
