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.

the EU is already passing legislation to require core functionality isn't hidden behind a touch screen.
good public transit is more likely to happen and I'd put my money on subscription based self driving taxis.
Yeah i have hated it for years My personal car is old and has buttons for everything but still a touch screen if I want it.
My work car is like dealing with an ipad to change the volume etc. It's not safe
My BYD has a decent mix. It has a volume knob on the steering wheel which you can press to mute, and a previous/next button.
If you want to mess with your playlist though, you use the touchscreen. You're not supposed to do that sort of thing while driving.
I'm having such a Baader-Meinhof effect with those BYD's
Where I live its essentially a small country town despite being a capital city.
I had never heard of them and saw one last week on the road and then I saw an add for them at the airport and three since I went interstate yesterday and now seeing it mentioned here.
Edit
To add to this watching the footy and its there in a shirt
Is that an Australian team? I don’t recognize the crest—and the tiny flag thingies below look say Sidney. I’m just curious.
The moustache gives it away.
Yeah Sydney Roosters Rugby league team
You guys have seperate work and personal cars?
Yeah mobile crane mechanic, company pays my fuel and car.
Be fucked if I were to travel around with all my tools in my personal car making someone else rich
Out of curiosity, do you own your tools?
Yeah i own my own tools in Australia most mechanics do.
You need the flexibility to have what you want and need, not relying on what someone else thinks will get the job done
Can't wait until the Lime Scooter can travel 80 mph
