    It’s not a lie if you actually are too busy at the moment.

      I wouldn’t be too busy at the moment if I quit my job if my job was what made me busy. So it’s a lie, right?

        You wouldn’t be too busy after quitting your job so whether or not it’s a lie depends on if you had quit your job before answering. If you had quit it and didn’t have anything to do at that moment then yeah it’d be a lie. If you still had your job when you answered then you wouldn’t be lying.

          Wow. Everyone must be lying to you constantly. I can picture you at a restaurant after a waiter lists the specials. “Those are made of conventional ingredients I could buy at a grocery store and cook myself, so they aren’t really special now are they? You’re lying to me!”

            Not really, afaik

            I can picture you at a restaurant after a waiter lists the specials. “Those are made of conventional ingredients I could buy at a grocery store and cook myself, so they aren’t really special now are they? You’re lying to me!”

            I thought the list specials meant it was something outside of the ordinary menu, making them special to the list. If they claim they’re made of special ingredients and it’s the same ingredients from the regular store you visit, then they probably are taking you for a ride tbh.

              “They’re from outside the ordinary menu, but you could make them if you wanted to and I paid you enough. So they aren’t special, you liars! Also, you call this the soup of the day, but you offer three soups so they are all the soups of the day! I am taking my business to an honest establishment! Good day, sir!”

                They’re from outside the ordinary menu

                That makes them special to the menu though. Not sure what your issue with that is tbh.

                  “Nowhere do you state that “specials” mean something other than what is on the ordinary menu! You did not make that clear to me at all, you liar!”

                  By the way, how many children do you have? Remember, if it’s zero, you wouldn’t want to lie like you did earlier when I asked you what you told them and you responded.

                    If they don’t specify how they’re special then they need to be special in any way for what they say to be true though. If they say they’re special in a certain way and they aren’t, then that’d be a lie.

                    By the way, how many children do you have?

                    Remember, if it’s zero, you wouldn’t want to lie like you did earlier when I asked you what you told them and you responded.

                    Not sure why you think I wouldn’t want to lie or why you think I lied earlier.
