Hmmm... I don't know whether people don't consider what is true before speaking (and, as mentioned, there may well be different versions of the 'truth' that are each quite valid, whether or not they are the same as your truth). Some people may well consider, or 'know', the truth and yet consciously decide to lie.
There's also a difference, is there perhaps not, between outright lies and 'white lies'. If someone is lying over a significant matter, that's a little different to something that maintains 'childhood innocence' (a non-existent concept anyway:D;):rotfl:) and creates an air of mystique for children at a certain time of year. That's a 'good' thing, it's an experience for kids and enjoyable. Later the truth is out and it doesn't much matter than, technically, what we all did was a "lie".
But outright lying (not talking about a bit of gildering) on a job application or lying and deceving the police, or something like that, I think the boundary has to be drawn there and that's something that is unacceptable!
Many people repeat the tales of various mythical and cultural creatures/figures. When I told DS1 the truth, (as he was going to senior school and would have become a punch bag) he was mortified that I had lied to him. It took a while to recover the trust that was lost.
In relation to outright lying, I work with people (not all) who attempt to manipulate the truth for many different reasons, often a combination of emotional vulnerability and attempts to manipulate/control to achieve a desired outcome ... I have come to the conclusion everything is in the grey area, and black and white no longer exists.
But I still have aspiration!100 -

In my case, it's because I took literally, in some respects, the injunction 'not to swear' that I never 'learned' that really it's part and parcel of a workplace etc. And because of my own suppression, of myself, I can't physically bring myself to talk in an informal way (i.e. with swearing) in conversation. It's not the way I would wish - I'd like to be like 'everyone else' in that respect and fit in there*. I'm not sure whether that's why other "Aspies" would (I've not met any other btw@) tend to talk using formal words as well.
* (Much as I love deliberately and provocatively not fitting in sometimes now! As an adult, in which eccentricity can be a little cool often as well.)
@ At least not self-aware ones - I have my suspicions that one or two other people (and they're not my family) that I deal with might have the condition, more than likely unbeknown to them.
We love you on here savvy:T:T your attention to detail is incredible :beer::beer: and I wise I swore a bit less:o0 -

No, I walked from the lounge through the kitchen, putting the kettle on the stove. I then went upstairs and into the bathroom (details are personal) I then went down stairs into the kitchen, throw a herbal tea bag in a cup, filled up with hot water out of the kettle (taking the kettle off the stove) and went into the lounge and sat down!;);););)

Bivy bags have a hood, and sleeping bags don't (usually).
Bivy bags are used for outdoor/rough sleeping/camping instead of a sleeping bag and tent, to save weight and space.
This is a pretty good guide to bivy bags and their origins and evolution
