This feels like a Poe’s law moment.
- andreareina 6y agoThat's the problem with Poe's law, you can never be sure.
- newswasboring 6y agoThat's not a problem, that _is_ Poe's Law. That you can't be sure.
- andreareina 6y agoThat was an apparently-unsuccessful reference to this: https://dilbert.com/strip/2001-10-25 https://dilbert.com/strip/2001-10-25 In any case, descriptive though it is I would argue that there can be a problem associated with Poe's law. Not in the same sense as prescriptions (e.g. Postel's maxim, "be liberal in what you accept and conservative in what you send"), where you could argue whether or not it's a good principle in general or in specific cases. But from my standpoint as someone using sarcasm to point out the absurdity of something, someone taking me at face value is a problem.
