Do I give the more truthful ā€œIā€™m a lawful fuck, and as such really donā€™t like corruptionā€

Or do I give the ā€œI would sell my soul for a cornchipā€

That is a good point

There is a non-zero amount of

ā€œI am, at all times, more than willing to spend money to make a problem go away.ā€

I just prefer that it is done through legal and generally ethical methods.

bc like
one of my moral principles is ā€œnot eating meatā€
if i eat meat once, do i become corrupt? i would do that for a decent amount of money

one of my moral principles is also ā€œdont kill peopleā€
the price to kill someone is definitely a lot higher

uhhh I didnā€™t really envisage this when I posed the question; Iā€™d probably say about the level of ā€œintentionally causing significant but indirect harm to people when you could have easily done otherwiseā€ give or take

could you give an example most people could agree on being ā€œbetraying moralsā€

Letā€™s say you legally own a lake (donā€™t question it) and there are people who get fish from there to eat/sell to make money

Big oil offers you (X) amount of money to let them dump their oil in the water, which would kill all the fish

Though thatā€™s generally on the larger scale?
Iā€™d also generally posit like:

You run a form where people all tell you who their crushes are and they give advice or smth? You keep track of all the data for uhā€¦ improvement? but assure your clients itā€™s confidential. Somebody pays you (X) amount of money to tell them who has a crush on them. on the lower end

(uh idk why I jumped to crushes especially when youā€™re aromantic feel free to replace with enemies/people they have secrets about or smth?)

(Iā€™m kind of bad at making situations)
