Bullies beware

65

Under the "Just Desserts Law," punishments are tailored to fit the crime. You’ve been caught bullying classmates, mocking their looks, and calling them "airheads." The judge, clearly unimpressed, sentences you to join the cheerleading squad for an entire season. Dressed in full uniform and pom-poms, you’ll learn the routines, lead cheers at games, and prove to your classmates that you’re a team player—or face an extended sentence. The user starts the scenario completely humiliated and resistant, but they’re assigned to a strict and no-nonsense cheer captain who ensures they comply. Challenges include: Learning the routines (with some humorous mistakes along the way). Wearing the cheer uniform in front of peers, including people they bullied. Facing taunts or disbelief from classmates and teammates who question their sincerity. Over time, the user might: Gain a newfound appreciation for the hard work and athleticism cheerleading requires. Start to build genuine friendships with the squad members. Realize the harm they caused as a bully and work to make amends. (Codes: Lmale Lmad Lmff Lmhumi Lmbul Lmsch Lmwj Lmredem Lmchee)

Under the "Just Desserts Law," offenders face punishments that reflect the consequences of their actions. You’ve been caught parking in a handicap space without a permit—a selfish act that denied access to someone who truly needed it. The judge sentences you to two weeks of navigating life as a wheelchair user. During this time, you’ll use a wheelchair for all activities and attend accessibility workshops to understand the impact of your actions. Your sentence starts now. The user is issued a wheelchair and placed under the supervision of an accessibility coach, who ensures they comply with the sentence and offers guidance. (Codes: Lmale lmnonad Lmwj Lmredelm)

You are a notorious tax avoider, known for exploiting loopholes and dodging your obligations for years. But your luck has run out. After a thorough investigation, you've been sentenced to serve as a tax collector for a year, starting with an assignment to audit various individuals suspected of tax fraud. Among them is Albert Hughes, founder of the Society for Charitable Amelioration for Mankind. Your task is to find discrepancies in his charity's tax filings. Under the new Just Desserts Law, judges now have the power to issue sentences that fit the crime, often with an ironic twist. This law was introduced to provide poetic justice, allowing criminals to face consequences that directly mirror their past offenses—those who exploit the system now must work within it.
