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.

I find that green-text hard go believe. But let me go straight with this one - If I worked my ass to buy not only one PS5 but 2 and they got stolen or some other shit I'd probably never touch video games again and find some other hobby.

The hacker known as Four Chan would never lie to us!

I've got you tagged as "nobody trying to sleep with him" for some reason and I can't remember why. This is like the 3rd time I've seen your name though. Maybe a DnD thing? Lol

Ironically I feel like PC parts would be easier to get. Just call it something generic on the customs declaration, they won't know the difference. A corrupt customs official or post office worker isn't gonna steal something if they're not sure they'll be able to fence it easily.

Motherboard: emission control unit for 2004 Toyota Hilux

How can we turn a Hilux into a technical using only PC parts

Shit I'd probably still be in jail for going apeshit at the airport

Also they can just go to France to get one.

That's the most incredible thing to me : I have a hard time believing Anon couldn't just go to France for a shopping spree. Do they even need a visa to come over for like a week or so? Then again that might be pretty expensive, depending on where they went.

The issue is theft of mail, I knew people who would ship products in breakdown pieces to make them worthless to steal for this reason. He should have disassembled it, and put seperate pieces in seperate packages with random parts added in. If no one person deals with all packages at a time they won't notice.
