Is this Ubuntu Server 18.04 installation running inside a Docker container?

No. This is a blank installation only with twm (xterm only) preinstalled

Please add the output of `id`, `grep -r ^deb /etc/apt --include="*.list"`, `apt update` to the question.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
