It's Friday night, and Chi Mirzakhani is pondering how best to pull off a skeevy illegal heist.
Wait, back up. She'd like to clarify - because she knows you're getting the wrong impression here - that it's not technically illegal. Like, it's definitely skeevy. And it's definitely a heist. But it's not illegal, because the only thing she's stealing are a bunch of pixels and bytes.
Wait, back up. Yes, again. Yes, she knows that piracy is a crime. Yes, she wouldn't download a car - although she'd like to know where you'd even find one, just for research purposes - and look, this whole train of thought is irrelevant. She plays video games. There is a little text box on the screen that tells her to commit minor felonies and the occasional murder in the name of experience points and gold, and she follows those instructions so she can experience the heady serotonin boost of seeing numbers go up. There's nothing illegal about any of this. Just a girl, and her digital substitute for happiness.
