Title: I sold fake drugs
Flair: N/A
At a party in high school i found a bottle of vitamin C pills in the bathroom and decided to tell other drunk kids that it was ecstasy and sold it to them for $20 a pill. I ended up leaving with about $200.
In writing this confession, OP adopts a wry, nearly boasting tone. With dry and curt sentence structure, OP displays this duplicitous act almost as an entrepreneur capitalizing on a profitable opportunity while also minimizing the harm caused to just losing 20 bucks. This post exemplifies our hypothesized weekend ethics of framing transgressions as mischievous tomfoolery rather than serious violations of moral and ethical conduct.

Title: I stole my 8 year old step brother's nintendo switch
Flair: N/A
Last year my dad bought a nintendo switch for his girlfriends kid, and mario kart with it. He played it once and never again, it stayed in the same spot collecting dust for a year. Since the new Pokémon games are coming out in a few weeks and i don't have the money for a console I just took his. Its been a few days and he hasn't even noticed. I'm pretty sure he forgot he had one in the first place
Op justifies the typically abhorred moral transgression of stealing by noting neglect by the owner of the item and, through a utilitarian point of view, emphasizing the entertainment value to be gained by someone other than the owner, or in particular, the OP. This is a clear supporting example for our delineated opposition of duty vs. desire between weekday and weekend posts. The short, declarative sentence structure of the post further casts this act as nothing more than a simple act of reclamation rather than a vile act of thievery, again consistent with our hypothesis of weekend confessions being more casual in nature.
