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.

Being a ghost is impossible, at least in our era.
Gone are the days where you could live through life without a digital footprint (inc. personal/group photos)
Only in places that are as car centric as the US. I get to work by train. Plenty of people living in bigger cities with decent public transport in Europe or Asia have no need for a driver's license
I'm from Vancouver, I never got a license until I had collected so many tools in my standard kit that I was struggling getting from site to site. Carrying 40kg up big stupid hills was the breaking point.
Valid. Could also get an electric cargo bike, but infrastructure for thas doesn't exist most places.
Ok but what if you're American and the meme still applies?
I'm from NYC, I've never needed a car.
I'm like the only person I know without a license though.
Eyyy I'm walkin eere. Not drivvvin eer.
My condolences
I wouldn't know, I've never been there and they're not going to let me in either
society knows what a neet is by now
that's me, excusing the Lemmy usage
Mx. Fancypants over here. With your fancy privacy and your fancy mental health.
Feel bad for anon not ever having heard of public transport, thats pretty blinkered ngl
I can't legally drive because my eyesight is too shit, fuck me, right?
Buy me dinner first
Damn, Europe is fucking haunted.
(europeans usually have a national ID tho)
