Small-Scale Question Sunday for June 30, 2024

Do you have a dumb question that you're kind of embarrassed to ask in the main thread? Is there something you're just not sure about?

This is your opportunity to ask questions. No question too simple or too silly.

Culture war topics are accepted, and proposals for a better intro post are appreciated.

Of course! When anything interesting happens in the world, you’re the people I want to discuss it with. There is an expectation here that good writing will be read and that (if the discussion prompts others to share their thoughts) intelligent and thoughtful people will engage with you about it. What more could one ask for? (Other than a growing community but that, sadly, was a consequence of our leaving Reddit).

Elsewhere on the internet there is such an endless flow of shitty commenters, trolls, people who just want to annoy you or insult you or whatever. Nobody has a skin so thick that being ratio’d on Twitter and having a hundred plebs call you a retard (etc) whenever you make a good point doesn’t affect them at all, at least in my opinion. Here arguments get pushback, but it’s almost always collegiate and friendly.

I even respect most of the people I disagree with (even Hlynka), which is more than I can say for anywhere else.
