  People who help others cheat are shitty people

    You’re not wrong, but a lot of folks are better friends than they are good people.

      Yeah those people can take a while to sniff out. It’s difficult when someone is kind and generous with you, maybe even protective, but they lack empathy towards people who they consider outside of their very small kindness bubble.

      Actually reminds me of this old article (checks date, wow, really old). Kind of related to Dunbar’s number. It’s pretty intuitive, but still some good reading.

  So, you'd help your friend cheat on their partner and still feel comfortable trusting them?

  Being partner in crime is a bonding experience if you do something that is morally right against a superior enemy. Not a group of guys ganging up on a women.

    Woman. A woman. Women is plural.

  Nah. Better to just cut untrustworthy people from your life.

  Not if the friend is wrong. If they’re really wrong then, I’ll try to talk them out of it. If they’re really really wrong, then I’ll stop being their friend.

  I don’t like this kind of in-group/out-group clannish mentality – that “right” is whatever the in-group decides, with no greater thought to what’s like actually the best thing for everyone, whether they’re in the group or not.

  I hope that’s sarcasm but I’m not sure.
