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.

Noisy bikes piss off your neighbors. Loud pipes DON’T save lives, they make people hate you. Car cabins have become quieter over the years and all you do is get louder for no reason.
Want to be safe? Follow the rules of the road. Don’t weave in and out of cars. Be predictable. DON’T lane split. Be visible (don’t wear all black at night). These are the only types of bikers I ever see.
If Reddit and Lemmy have taught me anything, it’s that if ACAB then AMAA (All Motorcyclists Are Assholes)
I never did any of that stuff, nor does anyone I know. A minority of, often younger riders, give a bad impression.
You can be as safe as you want but when another car merges into you on the highway, there is nothing you can do other than evasive manuevers and hope that you don't get killed.
Want to make the roads safe? Actually enforce distracted driving, it's almost as if not just as dangerous as drunk driving, and we take away licences for that. Retest drivers and riders every 5 years, and every 3 years for anyone over 65.
Just like with police. A minority of bad cops give all cops a bad name.
Same can be said for a truck merging on to a person in a car.
Yes. But we’d need a more robust mass transit system or walkable towns/cities. I’m all for that, but not everyone is.
