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.

Pro tip to teach people to fish instead of giving them a fish:
Whenever you're looking for a new software tool to do something, especially something "sketchy" like this, add something like "GPL" or "open source" to the end of your search string. It might not be quite enough to raise the official site of the best tool all the way to the first search result, but it cuts way, way down on the scam sites.
Or perhaps even better yet, go straight to checking AlternativeTo.net.
site:github.com
I've seen github malware before, so, beware
Or add "reddit" and check what people recommend Though you would have to use Google or perhaps Startpage
This worked a few years ago, but half of reddit is just bots and guerilla marketers now :(
May as well walk into an AA meeting and tell people they can just keep drinking
?
Yes, but eww.
How dare you.
