• “Never lie!!!”

      Knock knock “Are their any Mexicans in this house?”

      “YES SIR, they’re hiding in my basement to escape your search.”

      Lying to save five bucks at a corporate chain is fine man. Lying to a local business is kind of shitty. Maybe teach kids when lying is acceptable, instead of arbitrarily deciding all lying is bad.

      The problem is society massively rewards lying within limits. Kind of like when you make a resume that explains your one week spring break drunken binge as a “Cultural Exchange Opportunity”.

        Me, too. But now I kinda regret not going along with it. I don’t know, it’s a weird mixture of angst with the system and a bit of guilt towards my parents

        Dang, your parents had you lie about your age? I know that my parents lied about mine sometimes (which was easy cause I was a tiny kid), but they didn’t even want me to know, let alone take part.
