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.

You could achieve high levels and acquire epic loot in your favorite MMORPG. That's something, right?

Why do we pay taxes before we pay for rent? If the government won't provide housing at least they could be nice and not ask for their cut before we get that done.

Isn't it weird how half the paycheck goes to rent? It's not like housing is a new invention, why's it so expensive?

IMO, it's some combination of ideologically-driven failures of town planning (the distance from buildings on one side of the street to the other is legally mandated to be ~20m wide, when it could be about 2m), financial fuckery (investors drive housing prices through the roof by buying housing as speculative vehicles, and investors do so because investors are driving housing prices through the roof by buying housing as speculative vehicles - an ouroboros of shitfuckery) and lobbyist-driven partisanship on public transport (car companies hate trains, so they wage propaganda war against them and in support of overly-large roads with mandatory lanes for vehicle storage).

Something tells me if they gave him 40 hours he'd be posting about how he has no free time to enjoy his life.

Mkay but why shouldn't someone be able to live a dignified life working 25 hours a week? Why does it have to be 40?
