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.

who the fuck can afford those things?

Anybody? Where do you live that hanging out in the forest costs money?

OP didn't mean the cost of going there, they meant still paying the bills while going to the forest instead of work

That's still going to be a problem living in an abandoned building though. That part doesn't change regardless of where their friend goes to meditate (unless that place is work I guess)

Transportation to and from the forest isn't free.

Also some places have laws against camping on public land to discourage homelessness and these would likely fall afoul of those.

In the middle of a city, which doesn't have nearby forests.

Actually the larger parks near me (the only places that have enough trees to qualify as something close to a forest) do cost money (american city metro area)

What forest? Most people live nowhere near a forest

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Most American cities have a forest within a few miles. Our largest city, for example, has 50 acres of forest right in the Bronx.

Most people don't live in America either
