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.

Wait, did they add a cool down for unpopular commenting?

It's been such a 180°.

I used to use Cunningham's Law to find out expert nuances before a presentation to C-suite execs.

These days I tell people online about the things I'm an expert in and was brought in at ridiculous consulting fees to talk about and get dumb disagreement, especially when it goes against hivemind.

Social media got much worse over the past decade. I've gotten the sense there's a bit of a generational aspect at play as well, in terms of the emboldening to spout BS from ignorance as long as being paid attention to and a thin skin in being debated with.
