Small-Scale Question Sunday for August 13, 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.

You can radically self-improve yourself, but you'll always have the "lived experience" of your previous self, which is unchangeable.

As he writes, he was always that kid who wanted to join the military. He just did it twice and achieved extraordinary success while doing so.
