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.

Facts. Picking your ass up and moving to a country, even without knowing the language and little money is possible. You just have to make a lot of trade-offs for it to happen.

Source: I did it

It's definitely something I wanna do (I live in the states) but it's also definitely something I'm deathly afraid of. Always thought Ireland would be nice since I'm a fan of cooler weather and they mostly speak English already (thanks Britain), though it looks like Irish is starting to become more common again.

Often the best opportunities in life are the scariest

Seattle has cooler weather and mostly speaks English

Yeah but Ireland also has social healthcare and workers rights

Seattle is a shithole, let’s not punish him

Taking that as a no then. Have fun running your mouth on things you’ve never experienced yourself. Hope the downvote button makes you feel better 🤭

I live in Seattle, you silly goose. You've probably never even been here.

[–] [email protected] -3 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

I lived there for several years and I have the honesty to admit it’s dogshit.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I have a feeling that anywhere you go is "dogshit" by virtue of your presence.

[–] [email protected] -3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Been to Tokyo, indeed not dogshit. Your standards are pathetic if Seattle = good for living.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

I said that it's cooler and speaks mostly English.

Glad to hear you left Tokyo before it turned into dogshit.

It's a lot harder if you have a family.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Lot harder if you are from a third world country.

An Indian guy rode his bicycle to Sweden about a girl.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah, but anon wants to improve his life and find peace, not going to cross the planet for something so nebulous. The Indian guy had nookie on offer. That's a man with a mission.
