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.

Dubai of all places? Isn't that place just a rich person's playground? Aren't there women everywhere?

Turns out this greentext was 3 years before they made it legal for women to drive in 2018

Women in UAE have always been allowed to drive. It was made legal in 2018 in Saudi Arabia, which is a different country.

Are you sure they're different countries?

You can Google it if you don't trust me.

How can i trust google after all they've done

[–] abfarid@startrek.website 14 points 6 months ago (1 children)

You don't need to trust Google directly, you can use Google to find a trusted source.

Or use Duckduckgo to find a trusted source. Or Kagi. Or Searx.

Absolutely, use whichever search engine you prefer. "Google it" was used as a colloquialism to mean "search for it, using a search engine" and was not a direct endorsement of Google.
