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.

What's with the "ooga booga woman scared by tech" meme? Like, people have been torrenting for ages, it's not like it's underground.

And just have it downloaded? "Hey, wanna come over and watch ____? Yes? Cool, see you then." Then start the download. If it's popular, you'll have the file in, like, 10 minutes. And if she's that "confused" by an hdmi cable (which is an extremely common cable these days, but whatever), put it on a flash drive and plug that in. And if someone is interested, I can't imagine setting something up would make them leave? "Oh gosh, he had a laptop and a... A cable, you say? Well golly gee, I should run away from this fringe tech afficionado because who does that???"

I don't know why some guys act like tech just washed over women. We were there sailing the same high seas as the rest of ya'll.

"What do you mean the movie will come from the laptop?" Boy, bye

I thought it was supposed to be an old person confused

I like that. Anon just likes hanging with cougars, even if they're not always tech savvy.

A person would have to be very old indeed to be out of range for knowing about HDMI cables.
