re: One of the saddest stories of infidelity I've read

I don't think the story is fake. A cuckholded husband drank hydrofluoric acid in a microelectronics wafer fab when he found out his wife was having an affair.

Remember all those b s humanity courses you had to take when you were majoring in STEM? They were trying to teach you that life is unfair, existence doesn't make sense, and people are unreasonable. And any sort of cooperation, altruism, and intelligence is a happy surprise, and is to be encouraged and nourished for it won't last long.
