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.

If I had to guess, it's probably because for a lot of people being a NEET is depressing state of being. No direction or control over your life and you're at the whims of whatever happens to your family, economically. People with nothing to look forward to tend to wig out over petty shit like one less tendie.

society also thinks you're awful and shitty, so that doesn't help.

True, there's no reason to have everyone working at the level of automation we've reached, but some people think it's the 1950s or something.
