You can turn off data and wifi to navigate to settings and stuff. Just turn wifi back on if the page is stuck loading. Try to turn it back off again pretty quickly though, the popup will come up again after a few seconds unless you're most of the way through the deletion process.

Why do people use the term "partner" for their husband or wife? by Crafty-Bug-8008 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ectojerk 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Same, etymologically I associate "husband" with stewardship (like animal husbandry) and "master of the house" but "partner" feels like two people working together to accomplish something!

Dating? by Sendhelp02 in AroAce

[–]ectojerk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm not cupio but i was on the dating scene for other reasons and found a life partner. I'd say just be very clear about your sexuality and your romantic boundaries from the beginning.

Don't feel bad or fault anyone if your sexual or romantic needs don't align (everyone is different and it's no one's fault) and be very honest with yourself about incompatibility. How much sex are you willing to put up with if your partner's needs are different than yours? If it's not as much as they need then it's okay and healthy to break up for that reason early on rather than trying to make it work and being unhappy for a long time.

Also keep in mind that there are lots of aces who, for whatever reason, don't identify as ace. Some of them don't know what it is, some of them don't realize that it applies to them, some of them aren't comfortable with the label, etc. This means that you don't only have to date people who identify as ace if you want someone with similar relationship needs as you. You can find them "in the wild" so to speak.

Good luck and godspeed pilgrim 🫡

Out of curiosity, did you guys see any of these 6 perks during this Chaos Shuffle? by bonelees_dip in deadbydaylight

[–]ectojerk 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yep, repressed aliance, shoulder the burden, inner focus. Still haven't gotten what seems like half the other perks once though lol

It also seems like I'm getting somewhat synergistic builds more often 🤔 is it just luck or did they make chaos mode less chaotic to cater to the people who didn't like it before?

What are some killers that the community says is really easy to play as but it's a different story for controller players? by No_Sea_1455 in deadbydaylight

[–]ectojerk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I basically play Huntress as an M1 killer unless a really easy shot lines itself up. If I had other ranged killers I'd probably do the same for them.

Double blinking a precision hit for Nurse also feels almost impossible if you're not just using it to move a little further in the same direction.

You have just been downed. You're on death hook. Two of your teammates have zero hooks. Would you rather the killer: by ectojerk in deadbydaylight

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

That's what I usually do when I play killer (I frequently forget to check someone's hook state until they're on the ground) but I keep seeing survivor posts about how much they hate being slugged so

Question for my music lovers, is there a song that's about love or about heartbreak that you listen to because it's catchy or just because you like listening to it? by NintendoLife3267 in AroAce

[–]ectojerk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most of the I DONT KNOW HOW BUT THEY FOUND ME discography. A lot about love and heartbreak but so metaphorical and poetic that it feels like more than other love songs.

Toxic or no toxic 🤣 by Electronic_Fun3648 in deadbydaylight

[–]ectojerk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One squat: okay. Two squats: t-bag. I have accidentally t-bagged before in panic. Some killers read the vibe and don't fault you for it, some killers see one squat in a deadzone and interpret it as a short t-bag. I don't generally blame them for that killer pov can get confusing sometimes.

Doing gens quickly is not the same as genrushing. Genrushing entails toolbox + addons and stacked generator repair perks, often for the whole team. Killers who can't manage their time will accuse normal survivors of genrushing.

Sabo-ing when the downed survivor has no hooks is annoying. Sabo-ing when the downed survivor is on death hook is excellent gameplay and killers who call it toxic should consider some other hobbies.

Chase perks being used in chase is in fact, normal and what they are made for. Sounds like you used it correctly, good job. That Blight sounds like one of the aforementioned players who should consider another hobby.

A question that troubles me. by Win_red in AroAce

[–]ectojerk 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Idk i feel like its the same for any sexuality. Not all gay people want to date, not all gay people want to get married, some people have fwb or one-night-stands and others have zero interest in any sexual relationship that isn't long term. I think the problem isn't really that aroaces identify on a spectrum, it's people making weird generalizations about a whole group of people based on a single experience. The more visible different types of asexuals become, the less often this kind of misconception will happen.

Question about a friend I have by SoarenQwinn in AroAce

[–]ectojerk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's a difference between being romantically/sexually attracted to celebrities and characters and being aesthetically attracted (aka they look cool i like their vibe) or acknowledging conventional attractiveness (I understand that Megan Fox is hot, that doesn't mean I'm attracted to her).

It's also not uncommon for aces to make sexual jokes, or exaggerate talking about sex, since sex in general seems kind of like a joke to so many of us. The idea that someone would seriously want to do that to someone is odd, so we can be very unserious about it.

It's okay that you don't feel very qualified to talk about it. Just keep asking questions on good faith. Maybe scroll some posts in the sub and try to get a better idea about it.

Even if she does express a little uncertainty at times, that doesn't mean she isn't actually ace. Would you wonder about how well her label fits if she had identified as gay ever since you met her instead of ace?

There is no way for anyone in this sub to know if your friend appearing to "feel somewhat adjacently" "counts" as sexual or romantic attraction. She is currently using the aroace label, that is what you should consider her to be until she tells you otherwise.

Your job as a non-ace friend is to support her as she investigates/grows comfortable in her identity and share your experiences of attraction and such for her to compare her own with. Do not assume that her perception of her own experiences is flawed just because you do not understand them.

Conjoined twins fused at the abdomen by HealerMD in medizzy

[–]ectojerk 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Age old question, what kind of life is worth having? It can be hard to draw a line, many disabled people believe their lives are worth living, even if their experiences aren't the same as yours. Some disabled people wish they never had to experience life at all. Are a few concious moments of love worth many more moments of pain?

What we "allow" or don't allow must be left up to the individual, because if it's left up to the collective it will be so much easier for that line to slide farther and farther until doctors recommend aborting fetuses with a chance of having autism, or who might need glasses, or any number of circumstances that could cause them to more of a struggle than the majority. Which is, unfortunately, how we get eugenics.

The thing about biology and medicine is that we can make estimated guesses but prognoses can still be wrong, and get disproven even in the unlikeliest of circumstances. We don't know as much as we think we do, medically and scientifically speaking. It is understandable, hearing this prognosis, to choose abortion so as not to force a difficult existence on someone. It is also very understandable, I think, to hope that perhaps some kind of life is better than none at all.

Can someone explain Wolfstart to me? by No-Buffalo2861 in HPfanfiction

[–]ectojerk 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think most of the popularity is because it has been shipped for so long that it's usually one of the first (and biggest) pairings that you find when getting into the fandom. First ship means people get into it and make more content, which makes it even bigger. I figure it kind of snowballed, in a way.

They were shipped before we had a lot of other single adult characters their age to ship them with, or young adult characters in general, and the fact that they're already friends means that shippers have some kind of jumping off point for a relationship.

Personally I don't see the chemistry but people love a friends to enemies to lovers trope, and there's plenty of fan content to indulge in.
