Since no one else is going to be cynical I will do it. This is a heartwarming story. However, it seems like that by taking this man in they got a live in maid along with an additional source of income. The fact that he is autistic and along with his disposition also probably made him feel “safe” to the husband around the women and girls in the house.


I mean, thats one way to look at it.

But reading between the lines, having someone with a gambling habit isn't the best live in "maid" especially if they work full time as a bin man.

I would just suggest that looking to believe the worst in people will not make you stronger or more effective than others, it'll just make you lonely.


Yeah I try to see the best in people. But the internet is anonymous and my first thoughts revolved around why they would do this for so long.


I feel ya.

The internet can be corrosive, and its difficult to not let it tarnish. But, dear hacker news friend, I believe in you.
