Imagine a friend who’s broke asking to borrow money just so they can buy a round for strangers at a bar to look important. You’d probably cut ties, right?

If you weren't honest and say no, then you're being honest which is a paradox.

Or least, they seem less overtly evil than the rest of the bad apples at this time.
