    So, basically we know it’s a falsehood because it’s plausible. Saying something plausible is precisely what a liar would do!

            Thanks ❤️

            In any case, all this is very little proof that the story is a falsehood. Obviously, by default everything you read online falls to the category “this may have happened”, but that’s all we really have.

                Yup, because the burden of proof is on the one who made the claim. But that only allows us to say the text is not necessarily true.

                When you say the op is lying, that’s a new claim, where the burden of proof is on you.

                    …although, because selling a house ASAP if you have a loan with large payments for it, is the only logical course of action if long-term unemployment is assumed, nothing to that extent has been demonstrated.
