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.

It's was only hetero males getting married in the past... The fuck you on about? Are you just trying to find something to be offended by?
Thanks for replying to this. I'm not in Lemmy nearly as much as I would like.
I just want to note that the comment you replied to is wrong. Call it a quirk of my personality, but I like to ask the opposite of what's expected. The example I gave in another reply was walking in to a room where people are watching sports, instead of asking "who is winning?" As most would, I instead ask "who is losing?". The information is the same either way, provided you know who is playing, stating the loser implies who the winner is.
I don't mean to imply all marriages are unhappy, I just simply flipped the script, so to speak, and instead of saying they have the same right to a happy marriage, I say the opposite, not because I think they're doomed to be unhappy in marriage, but because people usually expect an implication of everyone being happy in marriage.
I think the reason I do this is because it makes people think about their response more than if they're asked what people expect them to ask. But IDK, I'm no psychiatrist.
Either way, I appreciate your comments here, and I wanted to leave you a note to say so, and provide a bit of information. I hope you have a great day.
Funny, I could have sworn that hetero females got married, too...not to mention bi males and females.
You must be fun at parties.
I think this is the most appropriate time for a "no u" that I've ever had.
