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.

Depends entirely on the age.

If some 30 year old who never had a job and is trying get rich quick schemes like crypto while still living at home, then they deserve to be talked down to.

Imagine being a guest at this dinner and watching this guy belittle his (admittedly not doing great) son in front of you as some sort of weird familial power play while airing the family's dirty laundry.

I don't care if Dad is correct, Dad is just as socially retarded as son. It's where son learned it.

Exactly this. I have no idea how people are justifying dragging someone through the mud in front of people. Imagining being anon is obviously rough (which is probably why someone posted this almost certainly hypothetical scenario), but just having a place at this table would be extremely awkward.
