Small-Scale Question Sunday for May 31, 2026

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 think a lot of the “more/better” thing is that it is often stuff that’s easy to recommend, has few explicit costs, and provides an easy way to avoid blame. TBH it’s a cop out, and really if someone isn’t communicating a concept properly, you can always ask. And second, because the answer is talking about the problem instead of figuring out what went wrong and how to fix it, no accountability happens and thus nothing changes.
