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.

I have the exact opposite.

No gf saying it of course, but my daily affirmations for the last 20 years are: "you're a piece of shit. You're worthless. You're single because you're worthless. Don't seek a gf, no one deserves to suffer your existence. Blue collar shit work is the only thing you're capable of. You have decayed dog shit where your memory should be. Get fucked asshole, I hate you."

It's nearly impossible to stop because I honestly not only believe it, but it's completely true. It's not something that can be denied. It's a fun life.

I don’t think those are affirmations

That tracks. Usual moron thing: use words you don't know to appear more intelligent than you are.

Relax, dude. It was a stupid offhand joke

Blue collar shit work is the only thing you're capable of.

Is this... bad?.. It's even popular on youtube: lift technicians, lathe operator, subway drivers.

There is even very popular English-speaking channel about repair with over 2M subscribers: Louis Rossmann.

I can only speak to the lathe operators, but the pay is not good. Blue collar work is usually underpaid, no advancement, and society generally looks down on you for being "uneducated" and not working a job of value like white collar work.
