I'd just like to say that I really appreciate how this was handled.

In order to curate a space like this, it's important to address issues swiftly and decisively, and I would absolutely consider questionable behavior on the part of an instance admin to be a major issue. It's not really feasible to start a discussion with every instance, nor should you be required to - especially when it's not clear that such a discussion would be welcomed in good faith.

The 48 hour notice is an effective courtesy for local users, and in this case resulted in immediate improvements on the other instance, which would probably have lacked motivation without the impending defederation. And with the problem addressed, the defederation was just as swiftly rescinded.

Well done!

FWIW, I might have stayed oblivious of my own repressed gender identity for much longer if it wasn't for all the hate-mongering keeping the subject in the news and making it harder to stop thinking about. So that's at least one anecdotal example that fits such a trend.

Yeah, and I don't remember Half-life being the game that introduced the world to horse armor.

I don't know if you're being deliberately ironic, but it's hilarious either way.

It's definitely a one-piece swimsuit.

Not sure either. Best guesses are a combination of elitism, ignorance, preconceptions, groupthink, and insincere memeing.

Devo was right all along.

Stirring definitely helps. The exact setting to use will vary depending on the microwave, what is being heated, and how much of it there is, but my usual go-to for a starting point on a full, regular-sized bowl or plate of food is: 3 minutes at 40%, remove and stir or flip as appropriate, then another 2-3 minutes at 30-40% depending on how hot it was. This approach will end up heating most things evenly without drying them out or burning anything.

Some things can be more sensitive, so if I'm ever unsure about what would be safe, I'll start at 30% for 1 minute just to get a baseline for context. Below 30% is usually only useful for frozen things. Soups usually require several stirs - you don't want to let it sit still for too long, or use too high a setting, or it can explode.

This checks out. I was cismale until I joined Lemmy and got hatched by the Blåhaj Zone. Now I can write sentences like the preceding one without even flinching.

That's because the FtM lads are all too busy chopping lumber and winning bread.

Lol, I love that name for him. If I don't forget all about it, I'm gonna start using that.

Absolutely agree. I'll always remember this as the place that finally cracked my egg, with gratitude. And it's been welcoming, helpful, and fun since then, too. ❤️

You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain.

It could also represent a sort of bewildered frenzy where he's just overwhelmed by compulsion.

Or possibly the moment where he realized something slipped down his windpipe.

Even if it is that low in relative terms, your point probably still stands.

Nah, he's saying he's so into women that he can even find them in men, including but not limited to transgender men.
