Small-Scale Question Sunday for May 21, 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.

No. In fact, I’m enjoying your apparent confusion right now.

In all seriousness, yes, I feel it sometimes. There’s this guy with whom I worked once or twice in college. We absolutely did not get along. I found myself unreasonably pleased when hearing other people admit they don’t like working with him. I feel no shame about this; it’s more like validation of my judgment. Now, I also felt smug when hearing he’d gone back to school as an early midlife crisis. That I’m not so proud of, because I can see it’s objectively…wrong. But I did feel it.
