Software piracy in terms of what would have been the longest sentence.
I almost cut a mechanics fingers off after he used an emergency stop as a LOTO. I would Probably not be guilty in the eyes of law or workplace safety rules but sure would have felt the worst if something bad happened.
Get stabbed, stab back.
That'a called self-defence, not illegal (or do you live in one of those countries that punish people for self defence? π€)
Yo dawg, you can't just leave out the FAA (drones violations) and FCC (radio usage violations). We have feelings too π
When I was a toddler, and my parents took me shopping, as soon as I got anywhere near the part of the store/shop that had bread, I'd always end up quickly stealing a baguette, opening it, and start eating it. By the time my parents paid for everything the baguette was nearly non existent. Of course my parents paid for the baguette in the end, but I'm pretty sure it's against the rules to steal and eat one and then force your parents to pay for it. Little old toddler me didn't care about the rules!
I still absolutely love baguettes.
Nice try glowy
Just like a glowy would say
The worst thing I've done is warn people not to admit to their crimes on a public internet forum.
Wtf guys stop admitting to shit.
Nice try, FBI.
Not today, CIA.
Dirty tricks, MI6.
I'd like to remind everyone that the fediverse is public and anyone or any group can be listening in.
I mean... don't announce that you've embezzeled millions of dollars from a big corp, nothing like that lol. That'd get you in real trouble.
Nobody cares about pirates, they'd have to arrest the whole country.
I described an NFL game without the express written consent of NFL productions

Initiated a cyber-attack on the electronic infrastructure of a right wing extremist group, taking them offline.
Back in Ye Olde BBS days, there was this group called "Oregons Citizen Alliance" run by this asshole named Lon Mabon.

https://ballotpedia.org/Lon_Mabon
Everybody had a BBS in those days and the OCA was no exception. But their BBS had an interesting "feature".
You could upload files to it, but if the file wasn't .ZIP, it would uncompress it and re-compress it as .ZIP.
All you had to do was find a virally infected .ARC or some other format, upload it, and the BBS would infect itself.
BBS was offline after that.

I used to run a socialist news letter in HS. My distribution was like... one to my friend group, one to a cool teacher, and one to someone I had a crush on. Clearly it had higher readership than NYT.
In my workplace I've got ridiculous seniority so I try and revoice concerns from more junior people. I'd be pretty okay with getting a nice big severance payout so why the fuck not. I also try to be a voice of reason when it comes to AI hype.
I've illegally entered Canada several times.
There is a spot my dad and I used to go fishing. It is a large lake where one side is US and the other side is Canada. On the Canada side there is a dockside store where you can buy beer, maple syrup, and souvenirs. We stopped by the store every year before camping on the US side of the lake. One day we found out there is a little hut where we were supposed to stop first to check in with customs before going to the store. Oops.
We invaded America. By accident.
There we were, traipsing along the border as part of basic training, and someone veered left. Rifles, green clothing, black boots, melon buckets. The border is really thin and a swath was well-trimmed, so it was prime walking route, and then we went to the wrong treeline. I mean, it coulda happened to anyone.
It's just amazing how excited sergeants can get over the smallest of mistakes.
we used to go back and forth all the time on fishing trips up north. even bring back produce (wild berries picked from the islands on the other side) without going through customs. we always did have both fishing licenses, though. catch both limits that way, regardless of where on the lake you got 'em.
magnetic card cloning (fairly simple) and gaining access to some card controlled areas. Got caught though and had to attend a meeting.
"exists"
I break rules all the time in the Amerikkkas! Just by existing
Aside from the usual ones (jaywalking in particular wouldn't be atypical), I technically broke every rule in school at least once (all except two exactly once). I say "technically" because the rule-enforcement format at my school tempted classmates to snitch on each other for the smallest things. Like, did I walk into class two seconds after the bell? Did I laugh too loudly at something a classmate did that wasn't supposed to get ridicule? Did I wear the wrong socks for my uniform (and yes it was the same uniform as you)? Anything like these would get you in trouble.
It was rumored that the moment I broke a rule more than once, I would face something more serious, like mandatory appointments or something. There were only two I broke twice. One of them was because, on one April Fool's Day, everyone wanted to pull one of those cheesy end-of-the-year-style pranks where everyone shows up in the uniform of another school, but people didn't get the memo on what uniform it was going to be, so when everyone came in that day, it looked like comic-con, and I went with a friend's (who went to another school with another uniform). The teachers just shook their head about that. The other rule I broke twice was exam cheating; first time got me caught, second time allowed me to graduate (and I didn't get caught for that, though I fear what would happen if it got out).
My most severe punishment from school and the only one I remember getting me an in-school suspension was when they asked me to help write the yearbook, and I got to the part where everyone played the "most likely to" game, and we had an entry put in as a form of dark humor (disclaimer, DON'T do this, I admit it currently but I would neither encourage it nor use the same humor today even though the same thing has happened before... also don't harm innocent people). I was in the in-school suspension for a day where they add suspenders to your uniform as their own cheesy cruel joke (their chosen mark of someone being suspended). Because the protocol works based on punishment escalation, any rule after that would've gotten me removed from the school, so it's a good thing they didn't catch me cheating on that test.
The funny thing is here in Australia u can get away with that joke because unlike some 3rd world countries we don't have schools shootings 31 times a month.
I imagine it still would inspire equal caution, no? I know there are a lot of people from there who have had sympathies towards people who have recently become known for that (which no nation is really unique for right now). It has become so visibly precautionary that almost nobody shies away anymore from the urge to avoid them in their communities. As is how it should be.
Nar we would joke about it with teachers and each other and nobody cared cos we all knew it wouldn't happen.
We played pumped up kicks and would joke about how the American had such holy school kids.
I think you have been so institutionalised in the American system that u don't realise this isn't a problem most of the civilised world deals with. To us school shooting are a joke about how dumb Americans are nothing more.
I mean that's kinda the reasoning. But who ever said I was American? I just know there exists rules and a predisposition to go from A to Z at an unrestrained pace.
I like to piss in that guy's gas tank
That's better than that one asshole who kept putting gasoline in my pisstank!
That would really fuck your shit up, I imagine
I guess it would fuck up your piss more than your shit
A lot of jaywalking,
this is one i do not do. ever.
if i'm gonna get run over--and if i survive, i'm not working again. ever... not have it be 'my fault' and not get a dime.
Definitely not thousands worth of content if the DVDs I've been seeing if certain series are to be used as a judge point, but definitely a lot of digital piracy because I ain't paying streaming prices for more than old late 2000s, early 2010s style netflix where I can get everything on one service for a real good price.
Also cannot say my piracy has done anywhere near 0.0000000000001% of the damage to the gaming industry that something like SBI or just triple AAA titles in general have self inflicted on themselves over the past few years.
I use a green laser pointer to sight my telescope..
Iβm careful thereβs no planes or anything but all the same.
I mean, that isn't illegal. It's only illegal if you point it at a plane (or attempted to point it at a plane).
Thatβs why Iβm careful, but there have been times Iβve swung it too far when the adjustment slips, so.. very quick path from totally fine to felony.
