    Thanks ❤️

    In any case, all this is very little proof that the story is a falsehood. Obviously, by default everything you read online falls to the category “this may have happened”, but that’s all we really have.

      The burden of proof squarely lies with OP. You didn’t ask me to prove it’s false. You asked me to explain my previous comment.

        Yup, because the burden of proof is on the one who made the claim. But that only allows us to say the text is not necessarily true.

        When you say the op is lying, that’s a new claim, where the burden of proof is on you.

          Actually the burden of proof not necessarily always on the one who made the claim. But it is on the person who has the less credible claim.

          I don’t need to prove it’s false. I just need to demonstrate that, taken at face value, the more prudent thing to do is assume this post is at least partially made up. And given the details of it, the most likely scenario is that the story is not 100% true.

            …although, because selling a house ASAP if you have a loan with large payments for it, is the only logical course of action if long-term unemployment is assumed, nothing to that extent has been demonstrated.

              I have addressed this point several times across several comments. Surely you’ve seen it.
