You say "understand", but then rattle off a bunch of facts.

Like knowing hobbies, favorite foods, political opinions, favorite tv/movie/youtube channels/music/genre of entertainment, etc...

No offense, but that's not the same as knowing a person and those aren't the most important things. I don't know the exact right answer to these for most of the people in my life. Hell, I don't know my favorite for every one!

But that's because they're less important. Not completely, but they're just statistics, flavoring on who a person is. I know my sister is endlessly creative and compassionate. I know my mother is fierce and determined, and never gives up on anyone. My father is loyal, dependable, and hard-working. My brother is charismatic and hilarious. My niece is intelligent, tender-hearted, and kind. My nephew is adventurous, inquisitive, and empathetic.

That's who they are, and I know this by spending time with them, through the good and bad times. Assuming they're worthy of it, have you shown your family who you are, your true self? And if they're not worth that, remember that it's only temporary; eventually you can move out, choose your own family and they can know and understand the true you!

    They don't want to "govern". Or lead, or improve, or legislate. They want to control everything, hurt minorities, and give even more money to their rich friends. And they're willing to burn everything to do it...

    So, don't improve the service or revert the unpopular changes that led to losing customers, just fire a bunch of people. Got it. Can't wait until I can cancel my account...

    Commented on a post with the most recent (non-Breitbart) headline and updates. Added this with 3 independent sources:

    FYI, Breitbart is a far-right, low-quality source.

    Media Bias Fact Check

    Media Bias Chart

    AllSides

    Mod apparently didn't like a more reputable source being added to their post because it was removed in minutes lol.

    reason: Rule 6 Violation

    Rule 6: Using the Poisoning The Well fallacy to attack sources shared in a post is presently not allowed (this rule may change in the future, and isolated instances will not subject you to a permanent ban)

    Just admit you want an echo chamber to spread disinformation and promote biased articles! Using this rule to police sources is very thinly-veiled censorship...

    WTF is a risa!? (feddit.nl)

    Hello. It's hugely annoying to look at "community information" and find just an in-joke that won't make sense to most people, and no explanation of what this community is about. I'm sure that's fine for those already initiated, but I still don't know what "risa" means!

    Don't worry, I also know you don't care that outsiders are kept out-of-the-loop and maybe even want to keep them out...? Well, that's fine; it's your community, but just a reminder that the casual browser will probably filter this community after several spammed posts that don't even clarify where their interests lie...

    EDIT: Don't worry, I'm gone, and I've turned off reply notifications... I have even watched Star Trek! But don't fret, your caustic and hostile replies have ensured you're safe from the curiosity of myself and others, they won't bother you any more! Enjoy your gatekeeping...
