In French, a nickname for the Eiffel Tower is "the iron lady", so... feminine.

We, writers, painters, sculptors, architects and passionate devotees of the hitherto untouched beauty of Paris, protest with all our strength, with all our indignation in the name of slighted French taste, against the erection … of this useless and monstrous Eiffel Tower … To bring our arguments home, imagine for a moment a giddy, ridiculous tower dominating Paris like a gigantic black smokestack, crushing under its barbaric bulk Notre Dame, the Tour Saint-Jacques, the Louvre, the Dome of les Invalides, the Arc de Triomphe, all of our humiliated monuments will disappear in this ghastly dream.

combining these, i'm imagining the grinning face of a giant maggie thatcher looming over paris.

not bad

Welcome!

Hi.

Your English is fine, and even if it wasn't I can speak fluent duck so things would work out.

Love the pfp!

Have a frog in return, it can make friends with the ducks.

maybe I'm not as sophisticated as the rest of you, but as far as I'm concerned this is great.

dream jobs here, I'm going for sampler of drugs, although there's a few that catch my fancy.

How do you upload a profile photo here? I’ve attempted to upload different images, but they are still too large! 

 

yeah, there is a size limit on photos as well as a limit on the most you can upload in total. to be honest i could probably be a bit more lenient on that since we are still nowhere near the limit of memory use on our hosting. as for how, reduce the image size, the picture you use for your profile is tiny and the limit is ~half a mb. to give context my pic is <17kb. I cant tell you what exactly will work on the image editors that you use but resizing to drop pixel count and convert to jpg and you should be well below the limit. If you click the option to add a pfp it will tell you the size limit you need to get below next to the line saying what file types are accepted.

Why is there a limit to the number of images and links one can link to when using a single profile? 

 

the site has to pay a hosting service to host the site, there is a total limit of how much stuff (pictures, files, etc) which can be stored. if arocalypse ever bumped up against that limit then it would have to move to a pricier hosting plan (true pretty much wherever you decide to host). In general if you want low cost hosting the cutoff is usually in the low hundreds of gb total. if we got near that we would either have to take a big hike in fees (not sustainable) or mass delete old image content to bring us back down. 

as for links, i was unaware of that, could you explain what you mean by a limit of links and where this limit is occuring.

And there is also that little text that appears beneath some people’s messages in posts. How do you write those?

the text is called a signature, you can edit yours by clicking your profile in the top right, clicking account settings and clicking signature on the left menu. I'll add that to the site guide actually, i completely forgot about that.

I mean first up you don't need fixing.

obvious is obvious but ace or not that behaviour is still shitty.  If I could justify an action i take towards another person because I say its better for that person, thats not good.

yeah, that stereotype that men 'should like it' is around and does hit a lot of guys. doesn't mean you will and, to borrow a phrase, 'no means no'. no amount of telling you that this is something you should like changes that.

To be honest, having been to a fair few clubs and bars in my time, not liking it when random women come up and hit on you is actually fairly common for a guy, especially if they go straight for contact and explicit demands to find a private space. that does come across as creepy or at least classless. i know there is a sort of unwritten culture that suggests guys should like that, and sure some do, but a lot dont want that. And if they dont and she doesn't back off, thats wrong on her part.

I have no knowledge about the person who runs that subreddit. Good to bring this up but it might be worth messaging someone who has power in that forum. put it out there to them and see what they think. Certainly worth posting in that subreddit as well to see if people agree.

I would also say there are plent of aro ace people here, probably more than non ace at the moment so you will probably get some aro ace feedback for sticking it here. And anyway, allowing other aros to have a say, especially on definitions for things like qpr, is probably a good thing.
