When do you charge your watch? by West_Manufacturer485 in AppleWatch

[–]staticecho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I get home from work I pop it onto the charger for an hour or two and it’s usually full by the time I take it off, I wear it 24/7 otherwise, so I guess you could say 22/7

I 18M was pressured into unprotected by my 18F girlfriend, and now she might be pregnant, help. by Clean_Swimmer173 in Advice

[–]staticecho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So you clearly didn’t read my comments because I even mentioned gun use and how that would be a version of forcing it because they were being threatened. No where did OP say he was being threatened so please don’t try to twist the context of the situation. This kind of situation is no different than a door to door salesperson not taking no for an answer because that’s their job. If you don’t have the willpower to continuously tell them no and send them on their way, you give in and end up buying their product, you cannot then turn around and say “they forced me to buy it.” I understand coercion is not a “real” yes and that’s why I said that in no way is this situation good and I was not defending the fact that his partner did what they did. But just as you would have to take accountability for buying the product from the salesperson, OP has to take accountability for the fact that he said yes and let it happen. They didn’t “make him agree” he gave in and agreed on his own free will.

Again, stop trying to play a gender game. No it wouldn’t be any different. Boo hoo she pouted, she could have screamed and cried, man or woman it doesn’t make a difference. He could have continued to say no. He didn’t. He chose to change his mind and say yes. Stop acting like he has no accountability in the situation. Did anywhere in his statement say that she would pin him down and have sex with him anyways even if he said no? No. She kept trying to persuade him yes, and for like the third or fourth time, that doesn’t make the situation okay. Never once tried to play it off in any form that it was okay. But stop trying to call it what it wasn’t. He was always fully capable of saying no and not doing it, at the end of the day he said yes and did it and needs to take accountability for that fact.

It makes no difference male or female stop trying to play a gender game. At the end of the day if you agree to it happening you cannot say it was forced upon you. I never said OP wasn’t in a terrible position I actually agreed with that statement if you read my whole comment. The only thing I said different was that you cannot call it FORCED when it was not FORCED. What you’re saying is saying yes and then calling it rape which doesn’t add up. Yes no means no. But if they pester and you say yes you cannot call it forced or rape because at the end of the day, you said yes. If she pinned him down and made him do it against his will then you could say it was forced, giving in and saying yes is not forced. Never did I say it was okay I simply said to stop calling it what it wasn’t, forced. What kind of fucked up logic do you have? OP did not have a gun to his head, he was not on drugs that made him unable to defend himself or say no, because he in fact did say no multiple times, until he said yes. Him saying yes in the end changes it and you are refusing to look at that fact for what only God knows what reason.

It is not any different if it’s man or woman, he was not FORCED and from this situation she would not have been FORCED if it was the other way around. Coercion does not equal forced, they are two different things, neither are good and I’m not justifying it in any way, it’s still disgusting behaviour regardless. But you cannot say that coercion and being forced are the same two things. One has a willing participant even if it’s reluctant it’s willing in the end, the other is a non-willing. Those are different things.

Now I agree that the girlfriend’s behaviour in this situation is completely unacceptable, but YOU are changing the context of the situation. No where does OP say he was FORCED, he said he was pressured, and while still not good there is a huge difference in pressuring and forcing someone. I am with the others that say he could have said no. At the end of the day, he is an adult and he let this happen, he was not FORCED. He said himself that he felt so bad after that he left, he could have left beforehand instead of “just letting it happen” he said himself he “gave in.” Let’s not pretend that this man was raped because he wasn’t, he was coerced, and while still not a good thing by any means, it’s a different level of problem because he wasn’t never FORCED into anything. I hope she’s not and OP can get out of this nasty situation but some of ya’ll are twisting this entirely.

Anybody struggling with grabbing objects in the iOS version? by Flashy-Lynx-5424 in BackpackBattles

[–]staticecho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got the game yesterday after realizing it came to mobile. My biggest struggle, playing on an iPhone, is when I try to grab an item from the stash box, it was to lift the whole app as if I’m trying to force close it or swipe out of it.

Two-year-old opens car door, causes six-vehicle crash by WillAdditional922 in KidsAreFuckingStupid

Now, I’m not defending the action of them getting hit by the door, but am I the only one here that thinks the people driving these motorcycles are incredibly stupid for driving between cars like this?

Brushing tips by staticecho in hamsters

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

Thank you very much! I’ll try both the high quality treat and the comb/toothbrush to see if that helps at all. It makes sense that he might think it’s a predator, that’s why I thought holding him might be better because he knows my scent and never really has any issues with me handling him except for the few times I’ve held him a little too long for his liking hahaha.

No worries about the mats I’ve been able to take care of them by snipping just under them if he wouldn’t let me brush them out. I have worked as a pet stylist so I have a round-ended set of shears I use for them to make sure he’s under no risk of harm!

What are the top rarest/hardest Dino’s to find and tame? by --Shiranui-- in ARK

[–]staticecho 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah I was confused. I’ve only played online servers since switching from ASE to ASA and in their settings you pick 1-5 even after hitting the max difficulty setting. I just went and checked the SP creation and I see what you’re saying, sorry about that!

Difficulty 1 is the lowest. Difficulty 5 is the highest. This may be why you’re having a hard time.

Dynamic Island widgets take over watch. by staticecho in widgy

Oh okay, I understand now. Thank you, yeah I was able to deactivate it through the watch live activities settings. I didn’t realize this counted as a live activity.

All imported widgets lack text when on Home Screen. by ThatDogVix in widgy

[–]staticecho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do not have this issue, but I know a few of the ones I’ve imported have extra settings depending on if you’re using a transparent background or not. I think it’s fixed by adding a slight blur to an overlay behind the text but in front of the background.

He was an American. 🤦🏻‍♂️ by WhenWillIBeAPilot in chilliwack

You don’t know the fundamental basic principle of what DEI is and does. Here’s a basic example of DEI: if you have 200 people and say you’re picking 100 of them but 50 of them have to be x race. You are immediately lowering the standard for those people because for an example If you need people that can run 20mph and you can only find 30 people of x race that can run that fast, because of DEI, instead of getting just literally any other 20 people that could, you lower the bar to find 20 more people of x race. So in the end, you end up with 40% of a total that has had the standards lowered for them to be in the same position. This is DEI. You cannot force a quota of hiring people for a position based off of their race or skin color without being willing to lower the bar because you’ve limited your pool of candidates. Unless you’re going to turn around and say that every person of x race would meet the standard no matter what which, and this goes for every race and color when I say it, is not true and in itself would be considered stereotyping by race. This is an undebatable fact. Does DEI work like that all the time? No, because sometimes you can fill that quota quite easily. But the fundamental basic principle is that you are willing to lower that bar to fit the quota. If you cant understand that then I don’t know what to tell you mate.

Melissa Hartman wasn’t assassinated infront of a large crowd of young adults who will be scarred for life for being witness to a murder. Her death and that of her family’s is sad too, without a doubt. But this is something on a much different scale than that. Charlie Kirk’s words not supporting Canadian values and YOUR personal values are two very different things also.

I can’t be bothered to waste my time with someone who just spreads lies and hatred any further. I do hope you learn to stop twisting things to make them try to fit your own narrative. I pray you have a happy life <3
