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.

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

Catfish was making a last ditch effort to guilt anon back into talking to them
Learning Japanese AND flirting with women? Where do I download
I don’t even care about flirting with women I just want a free app where I can practice speaking my second language with actual people and not some sanitized AI that doesn’t understand context or slang instead of watching cringe youtubers
Like Duolingo/genki or google translate doesn’t really capture おっす. Duolingo probably doesn’t bother with that kind of informal speech. Google just translates it as “hey”, which isn’t wrong, but it’s not really right either. Even deepl just translates it as yo!, which is much closer but still kind of not really it. It’s more like a sup brah kind of thing. Like a really masculine youthful colloquial greeting I guess is the best way to explain it.
But not discord, fuck discord
renshuu is pretty decent for that
Just have your second language be English. I'm practicing it right now. Has to be the easiest language to learn for the sheer amount of English content there is.
Good point, OP should try being born with foreign parents
You have to make sure to dunk on people who natively speak English for being too dumb to learn their language too though
Have you tried hellotalk?
I don't know if it was messed up. It was casual chats
Still not cool to ghost / disappear without even saying "hey thanks, but I'm going off the app"
It's rude but I wouldn't call it "messed up", that's a bit much imo
Why? It is messed up. It costs you nothing to say that and saves the other person weeks of wondering what the hell happened, what they did wrong etc. Ultimately it means you used the other person as a means to an end - getting rid of boredom - instead of actually interacting and treating them like a human. And then you discarded them the second it got boring to you - without even saying a "goodbye".
Ghosting is always messed up, no matter the circumstances.
A bit dramatic over some random chat, innit
No
Agree to disagree
I disagree with that ;)
:(
Yeah I don't get it. This person seems to lack introspection more than the average anon.
