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.

I'm not strawmanning, the OPs screenshot mentions specifically that they were criticizing him for buying NFTs and not having a job

Honestly, I saw video game coins and though it was some ingame currency. Also, these types might overhear you talking about crypto/ntf and just assume you've bought into it.

Regardless, they aren't making these jokes for anyone's benefit but their own. Remove the ntf thing, and this greentext is just anxiety inducing for a lot of introverts.

I agree. I feel they're venting their frustration with a position that anon put them in.

These people smile when they say these things. They're just happy someone has it worse off then them. It's why people watch trash reality tv.
