I don’t know the story of Cassandra, but I took the boy who cried wolf to mean “one shouldn’t lie, specifically because it’s easy to keep doing it, and there will be consequences for you personally if you do lie”.
So I read again and saw “women only” in the first rule which before I just read that to mean women’s topics only. Does that mean men aren’t allowed to comment? I didn’t realize that was the case if so.
Ah yes, that does mean that men aren’t allowed to comment here. Very happy to chat about Cassandra or feminism or the patriarchy in another community anytime though! !feminism@lemmy.world is rather active :)
Yeah. This post sounds good, but the actual moral of the story sucks.
One is “don’t lie all the time or nobody will believe you, even when telling the truth.”
The other is “nobody will ever believe you, regardless of how truthful you are.”
Is that the moral… I remember one who would say that it is
Never tell the same lie twice.
Plain and simple
Unless it’s for consistency. If you have a long-term lie going, you need to keep it consistent, or others will notice the plot-holes.
I’m not sure this moral sucks though.
The other one sucks, but it’s true.
We agree. I’m saying that one is good, and the other sucks.

Hey TrickDacy, thanks for stopping by - have you had a chance to read the rules for this community?
I think I have before, and I just read them again to be sure. Did I do something wrong?
Nope, just checking, you’re good if you’ve seen them! I’ve seen you around before quite a bit, but not a familiar “face” to me here.

I just edited in quotes in my comment in case it wasn’t clear before.
