Also no one was going to blame Amazon for inflation. There are still people in the US who are under the impression that the only reason they would be paying any part of the tariffs is due to corporate greed instead of that just being how tariffs work.
I feel like its easy for "Trust, but verify" to degrade into "Verify, then trust". It's that initial step of distrust while verifying that starts to sour things.
Also probably includes all the times my company has made me change my password. It always takes a good week before I remember that my old password isn't the one anymore.
Sure, but the question isn't about which statement is possible from the liar's statement, it's about which statement we can conclude from the liar's statement.

>I wonder if this was supposed to be Nine Angels. Copy editing on the web is so sloppy that I'm going to assume so because it makes more sense (to me).
I'm going to assume that wired got it right and it's the neo-nazis that misspelled it; it's much funnier that way.
I'd add Chants of Sennaar to this list. It's similar to Case of the Golden Idol/Obra Dinn in that the entire game is about making deductions about the game world, but in this case it's about decoding fantasy languages.
I've never understood this argument. Caregivers are paid; it's a job. No one is forced to go into elderly care.
Having kids isn't even a guarantee that they'll be around to care for you in your old age. My grandparents had four and still needed to be moved to a home with a full time carer at the end because none of their kids were able to move back home to take care of them.
