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:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

We've unfortunately built a society, in the US at least, that literally rewards and promotes sociopathy with money.
These people lie and tell you we live in a meritocracy, which itself is gaslighting.
Sociopaths 'overperform' in most kinds of careers, because they're so manipulative.
Ok, so a lot of us agree on these basic facts, that there is this things wrong with the world, and we need a community that is an anti-venom to it.
Also, hi! You are kind of my favorite Lemmy person for some reason.
I feel like a lot of people on lemmy, a lot of reddit refugees... well basically they seem like 10 year younger versions of me, or something similar.
Thus... well fuck, psychoanalyzing myself a bit: I'm basically trying to be the dad or I guess just any kind of actual postitive mentor I wish I'd had, when I say things like this.
'Its dangerous to go alone, read this!'
But yeah, laughter can help, and is a good part of any kind of discussion of the insane bullshit in this world... it doesn't have to be just always jokes all the time, as s coping mechanism... it can be sanity-affirming for a blunt autist such as myself to just wholly explain the nonsense.
That being said: I'm not infallible. Ideally, don't believe a thing I say, verify it.
