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:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

When I post on Lemmy/Reddit/etc, it's usually not to the OP, but for everyone else reading the same post later.
So if I'm saying something like, "if you're struggling to pay for a $10 pizza, you could use the charity," it's not really for the OP, but for anyone in a similar situation who happens across the post, whether now or a year from now. Having a pocketful of change isn't a "normal" thing for someone who is financially stable, and if that's you (i.e. the point where a quarter matters), then you should accept the charity.
Even a greentext has a sliver of truth to it, and I'm interested in discussing that truth that may apply to others.
