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.

Or add "reddit" and check what people recommend Though you would have to use Google or perhaps Startpage

This worked a few years ago, but half of reddit is just bots and guerilla marketers now :(

Hence why reading comprehension is important. You need to assume that people are out to screw you on the internet, so look for their motivations. Someone pushing a paid service could be getting a kickback, whereas someone pushing a FOSS service probably just wants it to get attention so it sticks around.

May as well walk into an AA meeting and tell people they can just keep drinking

Reddit is bad and we shouldn't use it.

But it's not bad in anywhere near the same way as alcohol is bad for alcoholics. It's a terrible analogy.

Hyperbole is dead. Everything is 1:1. Please label your jokes.
