       @ireneista @lispi314 @astraluma The concept that lying is usually wrong is something I had to unlearn as an adult, and now make a point of trying to help others unlearn.Lying being "wrong" presupposes the party asking the question has standing to know the answer or know that you are actively refusing to answer.If this isn't the case, and especially if your response will be used to harm you or others, it's not only okay but possibly a duty to lie.

       @ireneista @lispi314 @astraluma Yes, I don't like to lie either. Lying is stressful and requires keeping a lot of gratuitous counter-to-fact mental state to maintain consistency, spending cycles you could be doing on something more productive.
