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.

So this machine is driving at high speeds and is incredibly dangerous and if it crashes while you are in it or riding it you'll probably die.

Why are people using cars and motorcycles? I don't get it!

me neither, but probably because public transport is expensive and not at all optimised

Not a great analogy honestly, you can drive a car your whole life and your odds of dying in a car accident are probably like 1%. Meanwhile your odds of dying, or at the very least having very serious health effects, from using hard drugs your whole life are basically guaranteed.

It isn't guaranteed. Like that old lady that became 120 years old smoking a pack a day.

Both of you are somewhat right. Drug abuse causes an increased risk in getting a bad medical condition. However, if you always drive faster than you should and don't give a fuck about road laws(which is kinda the equivalent to abusing hard drugs) you might also end up in the hospital one day.
