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 fortunate that the author with my pessimism is Pratchett. Humans, a bunch of terrible little assholes that I love and treasure

Idk I wouldn't call Sir Pratchett as much a pessimist as I would an absurdist.

GNU Sir Terry Pratchett

acknowledging complexity is not in itself pessimism. it often makes uncut pessimism very difficult.
