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.

But there is no draft.

I think they're actually just the average American 20-something male.

So they are in Ukraine but have an American flag next to their username?

I mean, Anon may be American, but is definitely dodging the Ukrainian draft

I'm not familiar with 4chan or whatever website that is, but if anonymous there means what I think it means, that flag is probably IP based which would make sense on a VPN.

The flag is completely up to you. You can choose whatever flag you want.

I see. How likely is a misclick? Or is it a very deliberate decision?

I've seen stranger things.

Me too! I guess it's meant for a younger audience but I still liked it.

This is surprisingly close to how my Great-Grandfather avoided getting drafted into the first World War. He stayed home for a week and only drank alcohol and smoked cigarettes non-stop. When he showed up to the draft office looking like a zombie they turned him away pretty much instantly. He was a pretty healthy dude aside from that.

Kid, take care of yourself.

If I didn't get drafted filing my selective service registration a week after 9/11, you have nothing to worry about.

Sounds like you might have an anxiety disorder you need addressed tho.

Edit: Fun Tik Tok trend.

Ask US men what they were thinking as they filled out that selective service post card.

Also, ask US women what they were thinking as they filled out their selective service post card.

If done right, shit going VIRAL.

By "lately" he means 10 years

By "Invasion" he means the Falklands.

Obviously I’ve got virtually nothing to go on, but I’m going to guess that Anon is saying “avoiding the draft” when actually they’re unable/unwilling to admit that they’re depressed… or perhaps the possibility of depression hasn’t even occurred to them.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

No way they draft a dead guy

Shit... Aside from the medication that's basically me.
