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.

The difference is ~~it's fake~~ the anonymity.
Doesn't live online --->>> posts on 4chan

As he posts a story from his life 🙄
Dude is so oblivious and arrogant. He barely knows her and is already judging, thankfully smart girl saw the signs and dodged a bullet. It's rare for greentext to have a happy ending.

NGL if you have a flip phone now, you're either a contract killer, a drug dealer and or a stage 5 weirdo.
This is just judgemental and stupid. If you are easily distracted not using a smartphone outside business hours is hugely beneficial.
I use a lumia 550, but REALLY I would prefer an old school phone like the w800i, but a good k750/w800/k800 is rare and expensive at this point and pretty likely to fail. (I have 2g here). So the lumia it is.

Friend of mine bought her first smart phone about a year ago. She just didn't need any of the functions on a smartphone and was happier with her flip phone: pretty much infinite battery, near indestructible, does communicate just ok.
Only reason she bought a smart phone is to download some group chat clients. Since she broke up with her BF, we additionally had to write her on SMS. So she made it a bit easier for us.

I know this is likely fake, but I have gotten that reaction from people. Folks really find it strange when you don't have social media. The times it really sucks is when they think you're lying and just don't want to add them.

I only know two women who use non-standard social apps, and both of them work in NGOs with good reason to not trust corps/government.
If you don’t have lemmy nobody will fuck you.
Her: "What's Lemmy?"
Me: "It's like if 500 nerds emulated the Reddit experience of 2011."
Her: (visibly drying)
"It's like if 500 nerds emulated the Reddit experience of 2011."
Now we just need Woody Harrelson in here talking about Rampart.

Being on 4chan a wayyy bigger red flag than using a flip phone most of the time.
Of course, I imagine he pulled the phone out and opened it in one smooth motion.

I am terminally online and even I don't want to engage with someone I know IRL through social media. We don't need to be on discord or Instagram or Reddit to talk 1 on 1. We can just fucking text. Like on the phone. No, I don't want to download Kik or whatsapp or any other random, sketchy app. We can text through the phone.

Ive missed out on job opportunities because i dont keep any socials. There have been a couple companies ive applied to that i got a callback from after the interviews where they basically said my lack of online presence was a red flag for them. Like wtf does it matter if i use facebook or linkden or whatever? I get that it helps them get a feel for the candidate before hiring them, but still...
Funny thing is, some places love when people Dont have social media. I have had to go thrugh a lot of background checks for my jobs before and most of the time they are happy to hear that there is no social media for me to say dumb stuff on online.

If you don't like social media, why would you pretend to like social media to attract someone else who REALLY REALLY cares about social media? It's bound to fail.

Hey I want to look at 4chan stuff like this but not get flashed with porn, any tips?
Stick to communities like this that screencap the good bits so you don’t have to sort through the crap.

Lemmy is it for me. Oh and a discord server with my gaming buddies. The rest of it just feels pretty gross.

Folks wanna know what they're getting into. Your social media feeds are an easy indicator. Your twitter all retweets of Andrew Tate? Facebook filled with pics of you dressed up like a leather dog? Truth social? Concerning for many women.
