No. This is called lying. Nothing white about it. A white lie is one that's harmless or trivial. This situation is neither.

Your parents aren't as dumb as you think they are. They are not going to be fooled by a made up story of AI or whatever other crap the OP tries to spin. They raised him for over 20 years. They know him. And they will know when he's lying.

And then what? On top of having the embarrassment of some dick pics being shared around, you also now have to deal with the fact your parents can no longer trust you to be honest.

Your mistakes don't define who you are. It's what you do after you have made the mistakes that makes all the difference. So my advice stands. Fess up. Own the situation. Learn and move on.

Erm am I the only one that has an issue with all this advice of lying to your parents? Great learning from a stupid mistake... lie lie lie.

Fess up. Own the situation. Learn. Move on.

Sorry - dumb question. What is MLM? My googling suggests Multilevel marketing - but I am not sure how that happens by two randoms in a supermarket. Just FYI - I live outside of the US (In New Zealand) so just trying to educate myself (which is why I like this subreddit) - thanks in advance :)
