    True, but I often feel like people use Poe’s law as an excuse not to engage mentally. It’s really uncharitable, actually.

    Like, I can hold the view “is sincere” and “is sarcastic” in my mind simultaneously until something confirms or denies one.

    And it’s not like it matters that much. If she’s sincere, I’ll say "wow, that’s crazy, " and if she’s not, I’ll say “wow, that would be crazy.”
