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.

Hugely underestimating the natural charisma it takes to make content like this. Most folks just getting out of prison do not have it.

My neighbor is my drinking buddy. One random night, he told me about how he was in prison for twenty years after killing a punk. I thought it would be weird but it wasn't.

Nice dude. But could not hold a conversation.

I can't hold a conversation and I haven't killed anyone

Might as well do it, I guess...

Can just improve things, right?

How does one acquire this 'charisma'?

[–] [email protected] 115 points 8 months ago

With any charisma at all, this would definitely work.

I knew the actors were legit.

Pain is an illusion but these cops are real!

It's pretty hard to beat that when it comes to experience

‘How about you just start a restaurant’ vibes.

Just want to mention that I think a lot of parole stipulations could make this infeasible.

No idea on the details, but some countries/states/jurisdictions/etc. do not allow you to profit from past crimes.

But if framed carefully? Maybe? "I'm just providing a video game review based on my past experiences." Bet there's a way to pull this off.

The Insider channel has done tons of videos like this, several featured an actual ex-bak robber.

"Alright so today we're reacting to movie rape scenes..."

I call it the bill Cosby special

Now, you see, the red necks fucked Ned Beatty in the ass with the squealing like a pig.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 8 months ago

Although given the fact that he got caught and arrested, I somewhat I'm doubtful of his bona fides.

Also who doesn't know about dye packs?

As long as it was an fdic insured bank...

At that point it's community service.

Except for the PTSD for the people working at the bank. He pled to aggravated assault.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

It depends on which state, but that's basically just saying that a person felt threatened.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 8 months ago

a la Larry Lawton.

Dude gets a bit rambly, but it's mostly good content.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 8 months ago

I would sub.
