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.

Once asked a girl what the orange ribbon on her jacket signified. She said domestic violence. I asked for or against? Sometimes I should just not be allowed to speak.

Seriously though, fuck autismspeaks

At one of my old jobs (which handled owning malls (I worked on the websites)), one of the locations would hold an event with Autism Speaks; during a meeting, someone mentioned that we needed to get the campaign advertisements on the site for one of their upcoming events.

At the mention of "Autism Speaks", I reflexively went, "Ew." Only dawned on me, after the fact, that it probably looked to the rest of my coworkers like I was ridiculously immature about and ablist towards autistic people.

Self-aware enough to realize he's getting checked out, 8/10... Imma press X to doubt.

I think he means she’s processing his items at the cash register

[–] Lumidaub@feddit.org 2 points 21 minutes ago (1 children)

Yeah, that's more plausible than my attempt, hah.

People definitely do interpret customer service as flirting though

Eh... Not uncommon for socially awkward people to misinterpret professional friendliness as flirting.

I mean Autism Speaks is a pretty shit org, I really do wish they’d stop speaking at all

AFAIK Autism Speaks fucking sucks. They should STFU!

Not sure what anon was actually going for. Self-identification as autistic seems pretty common on 4chan, is he tired of speaking? Trying to make a point about Autism Speaks? Just being ableist?

He's being self-deprecating for blurting out the first edgy nonsense that comes to mind, a tendency which he attributes (with good reason) to spending too much time on /b/. He may have intended his comment to be targeted at autism speaks instead of people wuth autism but to innocent bystanders that's not obvious and he's aware.
