      That would be either a fact or a falsehood, not an opinion

    How do you think Tucker Carlson avoided getting sued off the air for as long as he did?

    I mean, if you end it with a question mark even a statement can become a question?

    Hmm, I think being able to turn any statement into a question is a necessary feature of language. For anything that could hypothetocally be true, you want to be able to inqiire about it.

    Would it be unpopular for me to express that my opinion is that this isn’t really correct?

    Don’t you agree that the statement this “question” is rhetorically making is false?

    “Is a question?” is a question?

      Don’t you think that the sentence “Is ‘Is a question?’ a question?” makes more sense than “‘Is a question?’ is a question?”?

    I don’t know. Can you use language to say and or imply anything you want? Yes, yes you can.

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That’s it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it’s in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.

Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.
