This guy deliberately lies to "friends" simply because it might benefit him someday. At best he's a drinking buddy; the author would be out of his mind to actually trust him.
- Retric 17y agoPeople can be trustworthy in all sorts of ways. Some people will lie all the time because the truth is boring, but they will also drive 2 hours into the middle of nowhere to pick your ass up when you break down at 2 am.

- SapphireSun 17y agoThat's not necessarily true. Some people compartmentalize things on a need to know basis. They'll lie about stuff that isn't on the list for fun or profit, but will absolutely do the right thing if it concerns you.
