> [@Czarcasm](#): > > Third theory is obviously that psychopaths lie. Some are good at it, and some (as your posts show us) are not. Ok. So I lie about everything. " I live on the streets and post from internet cafes". Is this what you want to hear to make yourself feel like the world is just? You would rather think this than the truth. Because I haven’t actually lied in this thread even once. I have been mistaken a couple times but I haven’t purposefully lied. Shrug. Believe what you want. Obviously I won’t reveal my identity to assholes. ---

Your story is that you are a psychopath that doesn’t lie, when in truth you are just a racist habitual liar that is incapable of shutting the fuck up when telling tall tales. It must be sad to be such a loser that lying about being a psychopath seems like a step up for you. ---

You are incapable of accepting the truth. I work as a software engineer and currently only make 80k. For a company that is very close to being on the fortune 100 Hardly the top of the field but I have been given several interviews for the next step up and I get weekly recruiter calls. Shrug. Guess I am lying. Wonder why I didn’t lie harder. Why not claim I work at Google Brain? ---

I am sitting here.(boring vendor presentation) I have the corporate badge on. And my debit card works, though my account balance is a bit low for obvious reasons.
