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.

Can anyone who's actually dealt with Java tell me how much Anon is exaggerating?
I've been programming in Java professionally for 11 years. It's not just embellishment, it's outright lying.
Threads giving you race conditions? All concurrent programming will do that if you're shit at it.
Java has come a long way. I will admit that UI in Java is terrible. I would never do that.
It's not accurate to accuse Anon of "lying," when both their story and yours would point to the race conditions from threads being a symptom of someone who's just learning the language.
It's not that serious though; because it's a greentext, it is both artificial AND homosexual.
It's not someone who is learning, because "how to avoid race conditions" is like java concurrency 101. The entire thing is made to prevent that shit from happening. And it is incredibly easy to setup a "happens before" relationship.
