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.

The Humble NEET is not problematic.
I can't tell if this is a joke
what does NEET mean?
Not in Education, Employment, or Training
It means they are a burden on everyone around them on purpose.
A lot of them are depressed, autistic or have a visible disability. It's really hard for them to find a job, especially in this economy. Many of them don't receive the support they need because they're adults. I don't think NEETs like being NEETs. So your statement is pretty ableist considering the reality of people. It reeks of "most homeless people can't be helped because they choose to be that way".
And a lot of them are simply taking advantage of their families and friends. If you identify yourself with a cutesy acronym that specifically describes how little effort you are putting into your life I refuse to take you seriously.
What the fuck are you even on about. When you think of NEETs do you only think of exaggerated greentexts, are you this split off from reality?
Not in Employment, Education or Training
In case anyone is wondering, this is the real answer.
No Eating Elephant Testes
ah, that really makes sense
No Education, Employment, or Training
Not in*
You can be an educated and trained NEET. But if you're not currently in school, employed, or taking training, you're a NEET.
Though it generally only applies to people who fit the description for a longer period of time. You're not a NEET if you're just between jobs.
It also implies that you're not seeking out any of those things but I don't think that's a "requirement"
Not in education or employment
