/adv/, do you let relatively minor lies pass you by?
I don't have many arguments, but when I do it's because I've picked up on a minor lie (via a contradiction in what someone has said) and just can't help but confront it.
I have an incredibly perfect memory of conversation (I'm a Jr doctor, so it also has its pros), even from months and months ago, and no exaggeration, word for word (including prosody)
I'm not sure whether me mentioning them is an issue (that I need to confront), or if it's an issue simply because I pick so many of them up

People lie everyday. It is part of why we are on the top ahead of other animals.
Personally I never let lies pass by me. But it isn't happening often because
my friends and coworkers aren't lying that much
or I am too dumb to tell diference
or they are good at lying .-D
Until you piss somebody, I don't see it as a problem. Keep broking their bad lies OP!
What kind of contradictions are we talking about?
Is it I was taking a shit at 8 PM but it was actually 7:30 PM? Small things like that?

Well I guess they say good liars have good memories... But the issue arises because liars have to consciously lie, which is cognitively pretty demanding to keep up with

More like 5pm vs 9pm

Well, unless it's affecting you negatively, as in your wife is lying to you type of way, then I wouldn't worry about bringing it up.
Who cares? If anything, it should serve as a warning flag. But to confront people about it? There's no point.

I wouldn't say it's affecting me much past the point of "that was a fucking stupid thing to lie about - telling the truth would not have changed a single outcome of that conversation"
But yeah, who cares, I suppose. I just think "why?" and then confront them with that exact question
>Yeah, I'm probably autistic, but hey, paeds patients love autism
I'll have to really consider changing my threshold to confront
