Thanks for taking the time to walk through your thoughts - I appreciate the conversation.
I think the particularly egregious problem with interpreting the comment as referring to the association of man=top=dom is that the meme has a gal as the dom, as you’ve pointed out, which does go against heteronormativity.
- Comment on Let delivery drivers keep their 1 day ago:
I understand heteronormative to be about social norms centered around heterosexuality, and how that is the dominant cultural factor.
With that understanding, viewing things through a heteronormative lens is to exclude the views of non-heterosexual folks.
Then “heteronormative bullshit” is comparable to “heterosexual bullshit”.
I might’ve missed some nuance - this is not my forte. However my naive understanding is that saying this was commentary on “cultural norms” is similar to saying to civil war was about “states rights”. States rights to do what? (Slavery) Cultural norms centered around what? (Heterosexuality)
- Comment on Let delivery drivers keep their 1 day ago:
“heteronormative” doesn’t mean “it’s the fault of straight people” are you serious
But does “heteronormative bullshit” imply that?
What if they’d said “I’m tired of this homosexual bullshit that glitter goes everywhere?”
That definitely reads as “I believe it’s the fault of the queer people” to me, do you believe otherwise?

Reusable rockets, in particular.
Imagine having a reusable car in a world where they were all disposable.

This does sound like it could be a liability issue if not done correctly

Wut.
Are you speeding from anecdotal experience or something?..

The self hosted community is probably the worst place you could ask about something while ruling out “privacy and tinkering”. Those words might as well be the motto here.

I just want to make sure you notice it says “encrypted messaging” meaning matrix as a service, as opposed to “encrypted messages”, meaning selling your messages.
- Comment on Windows 10 LTSC – the version that won't expire for years 1 month ago:
Unfortunately if you take alternatives out of the running you’re kind of just left with impotent rage against one of the biggest companies in the world and their shareholders.
Why would Microsoft ever care about some mildly upset users on Lemmy when they know said users are locked into their product for life?

Is the pei build plate in need of rejuvenation by chance?
I’m not a very active printer, but everything I’ve seen about you printing on pei sheets suggests that it sticks too well - oftentimes ripping chunks of pei out.
If your sheet is pretty old, iirc you can rejuvenate it by rubbing it with some fine steel wool.
Also, have you tried a raft instead of a brim?

If you think going down on someone is only a submissive act you haven’t gone down on someone long enough.

I distinctly remember learning this about myself after talking to someone on a dating app who used absolutely 0 punctuation. We’re talking like entire paragraphs-worth of text messages without a comma or period in sight.
- Comment on Plex is locking remote streaming behind a subscription in April 2 months ago:
100%. This is just due to the cost of hitting their servers in case you can’t reach your network
- Comment on Starting to self host 3 months ago:
Louis Rossman, a strong advocate for the right to self-repair, has an extensive, bottom to top guide on self hosting your own services. It starts from introducing what a modem is and what role it plays, and it ends with an entirely self hosted cloud. It comes in article as well as 13 hour video form. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking to get started self hosting - it doesn’t just introduce software you should learn, but it also shows you how to configure it.

I finally got link warden up and running, but I’m chasing down some failures on a few websites.
Also realized that me biting the bullet for unlimited bandwidth (screw you Comcast!) means I can run archive team warrior, so that’s been going.

Use obsidian enough and your brain also just starts to interpret raw markdown lmfao.
I’ve definitely caught myself using md to format pen and paper notes before.

And equally important, how do you do your backups? What system and to where?
