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 depressed.

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I’ve been asked what a dvd is by a teenager. When I amended and said Blu-ray, they still had no clue. It’s only going to get worse.
It’s still the modern media format. They sell them beside checkout lines! Piracy aside, there really isn’t any other way to own your media, at present. Everything else is a rescindable contract. How do you propose people own their media? Are stores selling flash drives of movies now, and I haven’t noticed?
I don't even own a player, for either format. Got 800 movies and years of TV shows on a pair of mirrored drives, backed to Google Drive. :)
20-years ago my ex-wife was talking to another women in line at Walmart, "Me too! We get all our movies from aXXo! He's the best."
And somehow people forgot they could steal media with impunity. :(
IMO we only let them think it was theft because they couldn't do anything about it. Who di they think they are to say what I do with my stuff?
