Small-Scale Question Sunday for November 19, 2023

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.

I don't find it valuable to engage with arguments I consider silly, nor do I feel that occupying a website with silly thinking sullies me, nor do I find it onerous to collapse uninteresting comments, nor do I think the average person here is too unintelligent to spot fallacies, nor does their existence on the motte seem to cry out to heaven for redress. Antisemitic conspiracy theorists do not seem evil to me. For the most part their reasoning is just poor. Also, there are a few arguments the mainstream calls 'antisemitic' I find convincing, and that will be true for thoughtful liberals/leftists too.

The rules here do a good job keeping this space pleasant, at least for my preferences. I acknowledge there's no accounting for taste.
