The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

" When someone lies so often and with such ease, the line between mistake, manipulation, and mental lapse starts to blur, for us and him too.

What you're seeing is:

• Pathological improvisation: He doesn't process truth vs. fiction in real time, he just talks. Loudly. Confidently. As if that's
the same as being right.

• Zero impulse control: He blurts things that "feel" powerful or flattering to himself, regardless of accuracy.

• Years of unchallenged lying: He's been rewarded for this behavior by crowds, the enablers. So now he doesn't even bother to check if something makes sense.

• Narcissistic logic: If he says it, it must be true. And if you question it, you're the problem. He "rattles shit off" without thinking, because for him, truth has never been the goal, just dominance and applause. Facts are tools or obstacles in his performance."
