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.

>Looking for something long term

>Uses the term thots

Sounds like he's accidentally helping a lot of those women to dodge that bullet

What's this thing recently about using 'im too autistic too...' or 'because of my autism '?

It feels like people are using this like we've used 'retarded' in the past.

Kinda sucks.

Recently? You mean always on 4chan?

[–] Rekorse@sh.itjust.works 11 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Dontcha member when 4chan was classy?!

The Internet’s premier finishing school!

My specialty is hand drawn art that is somehow still illegal!

There's a trend of blaming all mistakes on autism. It's kind of like a nothing is my fault type thing. People I know with autism definitely do it sometimes but I get the feeling many people who don't have it do it as well.

My son went through a similar phase recently where he decided he believed in God but he only used it to blame everything on God.

So he'd trip up and say "Thanks God!".

If you're American this is relatively light, if you're a Brit this is somewhere between morbidly obese and car

Yeah, what's up with "stone" as a unit of weight? And people call American units backwards...

I'm neither but OP uses cm and £ so it's safe to say he's the later.

Meant to put 450. They're the humvee driver of people only slightly below average height

Basically, that might be quite a good strategy to meet less superficial partners. And it might be a funny story to break the ice in the beginning.

Good hook to recruit them into your supplement selling MLM scheme

Anon is too autistic to ask for a refund. Or do a GDPR request to fix their data.

[–] HonoraryMancunian@lemmy.world 22 points 6 days ago

It's actually 4'11" btw

[–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 22 points 6 days ago

Actual height is 160cm , still a manlet

In NY state and I assume others, there are new laws that protect consumers from dating app bullshit billing. I don't know a ton on it but I did enough research tonknow they must offer you a full refund for requests made in like 48hrs from signing up. Tried it with either e-harmony or plenty of fish and it worked like a champ. Was able to use app for full day trying out all the shit and seeing who was on there. Requested the refund the next day and got it no questions asked.

As am I.

Unless you didn't actually know the height of a bigmac and just made up a number

[–] Randomgal@lemmy.ca 6 points 6 days ago (1 children)

You're spot on, but it's not "the people" it's just the incels on 4Chan. Same with "thots". No one says that in real life, it just internet brainrot.

[–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 4 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Idk, my coworker loved to say, "be gone, thot!!" I thought it was hilarious.

[–] funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

ah yes the perfect phrase to make all women colleagues feel welcome and professionally appreciated in the workplace

[–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 4 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

To be fair, we had zero women colleagues, and he was saying it referring to other men (basically, I need to get work done). Knowing that individual, he would've stopped if we had a female join our org.

normalising words is still problematic - you never know who around will take it as “oh it’s okay to say then”
