You know, it's okay to just not like someone.
You don't need to justify it, you aren't a bad person.
Some good people just rub in you the wrong way. It doesn't mean they're bad, they just don't gel with you. And that's okay.
Just don't get mad at others for liking them (if it's just a bad mesh of personalities) and let things be.

False associations vents, various cws mentioned
Queer people aren't pedophiles
Furries aren't animal abusers
Babyfurs aren't pedophiles
Kinky people aren't abusers
Otherkin, trans people, and plural people aren't mentally ill
Some of these folks are those things, but it isn't a direct connection and it frustrates me to no end when people make these associations
@leafnoodle do... do you think love can bloom, even on the jattlefield?

There's a contest for all five of the Eurosenses!
* Eurovision is for original songs, of course
* Eurolfactory is for industrial design history trivia
* Europroprioception is for gymnastics
* Europrecognition is NOT OPEN TO THE PUBLIC WHO TOLD YOU WE EXIST, and
* Euroecholocation is for masked crime-fighting
Trauma affecting relationships in queer communities
Thanks to @xurnami for this article on the effects of trauma in queer social relationships:
https://www.dailyxtra.com/why-are-queer-people-so-mean-to-each-other-160978
"This, I believe, is why traumatized communities struggle so profoundly with loving one another. We have been hard-wired for suspicion and terror of betrayal, which in turn feeds into the logics of disposability and incarceration: we come to believe that making a mistake — any mistake, whether big or small — makes someone bad and dangerous. We believe that we need to punish people who are bad and dangerous, that some people are simply too bad and too dangerous to keep among us."
Internet of Shit, ovens, safety
"Smart ovens have been turning on overnight and preheating to 400 degrees": https://www.theverge.com/2019/8/14/20802774/june-smart-oven-remote-preheat-update-user-error
Note the manufacturer's response: must be user error.
Bzzzzt.
A high-heat appliance turning on unattended is a big safety problem: fires start that way. If your user interface is such that multiple users are having that happen, it isn't the user that's at fault, it's your shitty user interface.
