People accusing others of lying all the time is a major problem in current societal discourse.

It’s not a lie if the speaker believes it to be true; it’s just a mistake. A lie must have the intention to mislead behind it.

I don’t dispute that there is a lot of, perhaps way more, lying going on, especially in politics now, but let’s not both inflame opinions and cheapen the word ‘lie’ by just using it for non-deliberate falsehoods.

I'm looking forward to that latest Elizabeth Holmes documentary.

From my understanding, they seem to be under a lot of stress/pressure lately.

I'm not exactly sure why, but the stuff that happens tells that story (to me at least).

Barking at frenck on a Friday at 11.30PM like this is probably not the right thing to do.

Hehe not really. I'm also just enjoying my hobby on a Saturday evening honestly :)

But you are right, it is time to head downstairs for a beer with Mrs. Frenck.

Not a lie, but I was wrong on that one. I'm happy to admit that.

I've used 1Password's Watchtower for so many years that I assumed the breached password check was just part of it. After your reply I looked it up and learned it's actually a setting in their privacy preferences, so my comparison was off.
