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.

It's a thought experiment. How the fuck do you find yourself in the trolley problem?
You really need to consider the possibilities when deciding whether to take off the blindfold. I think it's reasonable to reflect a bit on how you got there to narrow the possibilities down somewhat.
Also, while i dont have a dick the concept can translatez and i do not fear the dark. I will not shy away from the abyss. Its kinda my thing. If i enjoy something, i enjoy it. I may lie to the world, but i will not lie to myself.
Even if it's, like, a dog, and i have a new problematic fetish.
But what if it's an old wrinkly man going down like it's no tomorrow?
Now i know.
Do you understand what my username means?
Nope.
Hippie philosopher robert anton wilson had this concept, 'chapel perilous', where at the limits of knowing you must either accept that you can't be totally certain about anything, or become an american style conspiracy nut as you retreat into solipsism.
That, but for shittiness instead of truth.
There is a point at which you must either drown yourself in toxic positivity, or accept that everything sucks, at least a little.
I dunno', that sounds like moron defeatism to me. There are MANY things I am fully, wholly, and confidantly certain in, in this shitty world.
I have criticisms of it, the absolutism, but the core concept of being cool with uncertainty appeals.
And i am confident most things suck, at least a little, snd i needed a user name...
Well, hopefully you'll find a wrinkly old man someday to give your tender bits a bit of sucking.
Well i don't think I'm into that. I've had offers. I have no reason to expect they would be this good.
Right, im explaining (a little of) how they're missing the point.
