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 [wife] leaves him he gets an instant hotter replacement"

As someone happily married, I am rather offended at how incredibly shallow this statement is. My wife is nothing short of an incredible human being, and someone assuming I would immediately get over losing her if someone "hotter" instantly replaced her is a horrible statement.

And you just know that there are people IRL who think like this.

While I do agree with your sentiment, Truman's wife was a bitch.

They're people who have no idea what an emotional attachment is, they've never had one. To them, women are for sex, decoration and menial labour.

That's because this is written by somebody with the emotional maturity of a 6-year-old, the body of an overweight 40-year-old, and the age of a 16 year old.

It is a 4chan post, don’t take it too seriously

A friend of mine broke up with his girlfriend after almost 3 years. 2 weeks later after that, he already had a new 'love ❣️' saves on his phone. No idea how the fuck he does it, but onestly it made me angry.

It is a 4chan post, so it is written by an incel.

I mean, that’s the conflict of the movie. If everyone around you is always kissing your ass, you’ll never know you need to wash it. Sounds great on the surface but he wants to know he’s actually loved. Not just because it’s scripted to love him.

If everyone around me was being paid to like me all the time, I’d never be sure if I was a good person. No one would ever correct me or tell me I need to do better.

Moreover, it brings fundamental questions about your life and its long term safety. Why would someone trap you in such an unfathomably expensive setup? There is no reasonable answer, meaning some insane or horrifically unethical entity controls your existence. There is danger aplenty in your situation itself.

That's the difference - you actually care.

"The plot demands he can never struggle too much"

"Let's kill his dad when he's 12."

Because, anon, you’re seeing him from the outside looking in, and he couldn’t look out (until he broke free.)

You seem to assume that, knowing what you do, you’d have the same knowledge you do now when you’re in his position. You wouldn’t. You, just as he did, would have to discover the same discrepancies he did, and you (being him) would sail until you hit the wall.

Anon, do you by any chance find yourself agreeing with Cypher regarding pill choices?

Does he have sex with his "wife"? Are they legally married? There's a lot I'd like to know about Truman's world.

[–] Hawk@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 hours ago

I haven't watch for a while, bit weren't they discussing having a child in the movie?

Truman Show has the same message as The World's End

Going back to your home town to get shitfaced is a bad idea?
