You perform your final duty, to go into the tanks and become one with all the people. After that, of course, you never find out that the city doesn't like drinking water with dead bodies floating in it.

You wonder why the Human Genome Project needs so much funding, it only costs 200 minerals.

You hack into your school's network, steal your final exams, and try to pin it on your best friend.

You see no problem with electoral bribery.
