TRUTH

The Kind of Asshole Who Looks at a Cheating Scandal and Blames the Wife

jensen_huang_and_lori

There’s a particular kind of asshole who sees that Jensen Huang admitted to cheating on his wife, takes one look at a photograph of her, and says, “Well, who could blame him?”

And just like that, we’ve learned considerably more about this asshole than we have about the marriage.

Imagine spending four decades with someone. You knew him when he was an engineering student, long before the billions, the fame, and the leather jackets. You built a family together. You watched him become one of the richest and most powerful men on Earth. And when he admits to cheating on you, a bunch of strangers on the internet decide the real scandal is that you don’t look like a 25-year-old Instagram model.

“I caught her cheating right before my flight home. What do I do now?”

cheating_long_distance_girlfriend

I met a girl online who lived in China, and we quickly fell in love. We talked every day and every night. We called constantly, told each other good night, and said “I love you” every day. Over time, I fell deeply in love with her. All I wanted was to build a life together.

Last year, I traveled to China to meet her in person. I met her friends and her mother, and we spent an incredible time together. It felt like everything we had built over the phone was real.

Your Dog Doesn’t Need to Come Everywhere With You

dogs everywhere

At some point in the last ten years, Americans collectively decided that dogs were no longer pets. They were children. And not just children, but children with unrestricted access to restaurants, grocery stores, coffee shops, and apparently every other place where the rest of us foolishly assumed we could exist without encountering a golden retriever’s asshole at eye level.

The More You Explain Yourself, the Less Convincing You Become

digging_your_own_grave

Have you ever noticed how the more you try to convince someone you’re a good person, the more suspicious you start to sound?

You explain your intentions. Then you explain why you did what you did. Then you explain why their interpretation is wrong. Before long, you’re delivering a closing argument in a trial nobody asked you to participate in.

And somehow, you’ve made everything worse.

For most people, a cruise ship means endless buffets, tropical destinations, and a week of doing absolutely nothing. But for the thousands of people working behind the scenes, life aboard these floating resorts is a very different experience.
