When was the last time you did something illegal?

For me it was last month when I bought whiskey while alcohol was banned under lockdown regulations 馃檮.

I am currently smoking marijuana, which is (for some reason) illegal here. 馃榾

@thepreposterouspanda Over here in South Africa a court ruled that private use indoors is now legal. But buying and selling of it remains illegal.
thepreposterouspanda36-40, M
@iMystery It's legal in my state medically, but it's illegal to grow it in the state AND it's illegal to transport it across state lines... so I'm not really sure how that's supposed to work haha.
iMysteryM
@thepreposterouspanda Lol here it's legal only to grow it for personal use and only enough for one person .. though what exactly "enough for one person" is has not been specified lol.

@iMystery Three cheers for bureaucracy, eh? 馃槀 (Also, that is a VERY hard word to spell when one is drunk!! xD )
iMysteryM
@thepreposterouspanda 馃ぃ Gotta love autocorrect sometimes!
thepreposterouspanda36-40, M
@iMystery I'm using my PC and it's not an option!! hahahaha 馃槀馃槀
iMysteryM
@thepreposterouspanda In that case I use Google lol
thepreposterouspanda36-40, M
@iMystery Eh, I usually just wing it hahaha. I was an English major back in the day, so my spelling is decent... and if I mess up, that just means I have room to improve! :3
iMysteryM
@thepreposterouspanda I had some writing experience too as a freelance journalist a few years ago so I guess that paper thought my writing was decent lol
thepreposterouspanda36-40, M
@iMystery Hooray for writing! I think literature is more important now than it ever has been, honestly. :)
iMysteryM
@thepreposterouspanda I have to agree... But it has almost become a burden to me as I am usually the one tasked with writing all kinds of reports for my damn manager 馃檮.
thepreposterouspanda36-40, M
@iMystery That sucks!! Honestly though, I'm kind of jealous; I've been disabled for 10 years and I just want something to do at this point hahaha.
iMysteryM
@thepreposterouspanda Evidently you can still use your hands... Perhaps try programming?
thepreposterouspanda36-40, M
@iMystery I've debated it! It's actually what my younger brother does for a living. I'm just not great with math, and it seems to factor into it a good deal. 馃槄 I'm working a lot on my musicianship though; I think it's something I might be able to find work in. :)
iMysteryM
@thepreposterouspanda With a bit of focus, programming is not as hard as it may seem. I started learning some too but then got side tracked.
thepreposterouspanda36-40, M
@iMystery I did a bit of it in high school, but it was the original Turing coding; not overly useful these days haha.
iMysteryM
@thepreposterouspanda If I'm not mistaken Turing is still used to test AI (to test whether an artificial intelligence can think like a human).
thepreposterouspanda36-40, M
@iMystery It is very possible!!

I'm the first to admit that the world is full of things I don't know. :)
iMysteryM
@thepreposterouspanda And I don't think anyone could ever know everything lol
thepreposterouspanda36-40, M
@iMystery I think it's impossible! I doubt anyone could even learn all the languages in the world. It is such a vast thing! :o
iMysteryM
@thepreposterouspanda Yeah 2 is enough for me, thank you very much lol.
thepreposterouspanda36-40, M
@iMystery I'm still working on my second! I'd like to learn more though. 馃馃槀
iMysteryM
@thepreposterouspanda Imagine what it must be like living in a country like mine with 11 official languages 馃槣
thepreposterouspanda36-40, M
@iMystery I have imagined, and it is definitely a tricky thing! I was a German student, and they have villages six miles apart that can't understand each other thanks to accent variation; I can only imagine how tricky it gets when you throw that many languages in the pot!
