I'm astounded so many of you cannot pick up the sarcasm in, "it's okay to get AIDS" and "women what?"

At times, I swear the levels of acumen here flirt with Facebook's.

There’s no correlation between having a federated account and high sarcasm detection success. Poe’s law wasn’t developed out of sheer boredom.
