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!

Thank you, I haven't shaved.

Dish soap. Use a scrubber brush and let it dry.

Woodard examines the sexual nature of documented instances of flesh-eating and details the various manners of consumption whereby Black Americans were metaphorically or actually eaten. In the book, Woodard defines consumption as a range of parasitic practices, including institutionalized hunger, seasoning rituals, and sexual modes of consumption.

None of those are, nor have ever been mainstream. The entire Confederacy/South wasn't eating black people and certainly not the whole country.

Just a few... more... trillion dollars! And all your drinking water.

I seem to remember Candidate Trump telling you, your family, neighbors, and conservative friends exactly who he was. Twice! And you chose hate over Progress, hoping he'd harm others but not you...

Oh, good. As long as Israel is on the case...

Thank you. It's so dumb when you think about it for even a second or two. "The corrupt people left, so we shouldn't support the honest ones there?"

In the Control Center, making sure to nuke them from space. I know these are all statistically not aggressive, but I just can't shake the instinctive impulse to eradicate them...

This is nonsense. It's so the tear can be seen by other Fremen and the moisture salvaged.
