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.

38, never had a job, about to get one or starve. Sink or swim, parasite. You don't need a plan, you just start hitting up all the grocery stores, fast food joints and temp agencies before your supply of ramen runs out. Temp agencies will send anyone with a pulse to stack product on pallets at whatever factories are local.
Some people have disabilities, they might not be visible. Truth is even they have needs and to say "sink or swim" reeks of cynicism and plain hatred for humans and closing one's eyes to the human condition. You say that he should just go to work. As if people exist in a vacuum and can apply for jobs and get them. It's clear that he has issues, guy has not been able to work. You can't seriously believe that the system will want to employ him.
I see nothing in the greentext image mentioning a disability. To me it reads as a lazy moocher that thought they could live as a parasite off their parents goodwill for their entire life and is getting a long overdue wakeup call.
I'm afraid you don't understand what it means to be disabled. Disability is when people stop being able to function in daily life. As far as anon is concerned, this probably happened right when he got his HS diploma. Anon is exhibiting severe social dysfunction which is likely aggravated by C-PTSD, Autism, or a schizoform disorder.
Imagine telling a disabled person they don't know what it means to be disabled. Now, to be fair, there's no reason that you could have known that about me. However, that's kind of the point: you're making all sorts of unwarranted assumptions and then treating them as facts.
I mean you don't. If anon were to go to the psychologist, the psychologist would tell him that he has significant mental issues. A disability if you will. That is a fact.
Why you preach this pulling yourself up the bootstraps mentality is beyond me. Completely antithetical to what the vast majority of disabled people need to hear.
