This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Upvoted and I'm technically in agreement with you, but at the end of the day most of us humans are social creatures and how we fit in is, on some level at least, important to us.

I will say though if dressing like a neckbeard is fundamental to who someone is, they should absolutely go for it. But for me, who thinks fedoras (sans modern context) do indeed look cool, that's not enough to overcome the stigma. It's all about finding our personal balances, I guess.

I'll just say, I want to fit in as much as the next guy but if it's something I really like, nothing gets in the way. This the one area i can safely say, "I come first", because putting a pirate flag on my bike doesn't hurt anyone.

Yes but that's objectively fucking rad

It's all rad. It's all cool. Its the robots waiting around for someone to be different so they can denigrate them who are fucking lame.

Edit:

sees someone from the corner of his eye starting to hang a conferate flag

NM I take it all back.
