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 genuinely think more people need to take a step back and look at themselves, like really look at themselves, before they start shit-talking other people.

It's fine to not want to be an athlete, or to be bleeding-heart volunteer, but those who do put that effort in are naturally going to be the ones who get the most attention. That's life.

Seems like those biblical people had a really tough time with forestry.

It's clearly the well-worn "put on your own oxygen mask before assisting others." Air travel in the middle east was a nightmare.

It is because donkeys are notorious bad pilots, especially during biblical times.

All true but the dysfunction starts here with making someone an enemy simply because they turned down your romantic advance.

Or just find a girl more into video games and hanging out than soup kitchen volunteering. Every girl isn't a perfect fit yknow.

Don't you know how many terminally online incels there are compared to gamer girls that are into those types?

Most girls you can kind of get into gaming if they aren't already, by finding the games they enjoy.

But if gaming is the only interest you have, the conversations will quickly come to an end.

My first date with my wife involved her explaining the plot of kingdom hearts to me over 2 hours and 3 bottles of wine.

I appreciate I'm very fortunate, but it does happen, and I would say gaming was basically both of our only interests at the time (besides weed for me, and doctoring for her, but we don't exactly overlap with those things!).

But you have to save those girls for when you need to spew toxic abusive shit at them for daring to be present in a space you feel you have ownership over. /S

But then you're competing with far more people for that girls interests than you would with random normie girl.

Random normie girl is looking for partners interested in the same stuff she is. By chasing one you have nothing in common with, not only are you competing with all of the guys who share her interests and hobbies, but you're putting yourself at a huge disadvantage by actually not sharing her interests and hobbies.

The competition pool is the same. What changes is whether or not she might find you interesting in the first place.

If someone calls a person 'normie' they are probably an idiot.

That word is used to express the feeling you get when some better socialized, but not particularly smart or competent or educated or understanding people disrespect your hobbies/expertise/opinions/feelings while you don't disrespect theirs.

I use it sometimes. More often in periods after once again forcing myself to believe that maybe I shouldn't look at people this way and maybe I'm wrong, and then getting wounded once again.

Just call em what they are. Ignorant.

Anyone who says about another person, "I hope s/he gets abused so that I'm proven correct," is a gigantic piece of shit who will never find real love. And doesn't deserve to, until they get huge amounts of therapy and improve as a human.

4channers are surprisingly self aware sometimes.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

i think it's almost worse that way, because they know what they're doing is wrong but they keep doing it.
