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 saw Bladerunner as a teenager and it affected me so much I'm now a grown-ass man living in a cyberpunk dystopia. Follow your dreams.

I don't know whether to laugh or cry

I've got a hint for you, look at their username. It's sick as fuck.

I wish the d was capitalized but still awesome.

Office space started me thinking about early retirement plans.

Yep that movie is depressing, especially that traffic scene, I go through that every day. Even the changing lanes part, too relatable.

I used to as well. Glad I can commute by train now.

The Matrix made me realise my whole reality was a lie and now I’m pro-Patriarchy, pro-Authoritarian and pro-conformity just like the characters.

I think people don't realize you're making fun of manosphere and alt right creators co opting the terms from the movies like red pill and others.

I couldn't even finish that movie and had to stop after about 30 min (not because it was bad, but just way too depressing lol)

Had the same thing happen to me with the movie Hereditary (although I later finished watching it, because of the praise it was getting). I thought "Yeah it's good, but why would people watch this, why would they do this to themselves?".

I never understood miseryporn and honestly MFW people are enjoying it:

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 3 points 39 minutes ago (1 children)

Midsommar left me depressed for about a week, so I emotionally detached myself while watching Hereditary by playing on my phone lol. I totally skipped Beau is Afraid.

[–] nebulaone@lemmy.world 1 points 32 minutes ago

Oof, not the best movies to watch after another.

That was also a move I wanted to see, but after Hereditary I thought "nah, I'm good". Probably won't watch another Ari Aster film, ever.

[–] Bbbbbbbbbbb@lemmy.world 23 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

That kind of sounds like a reason to go back and finish it

[–] HollowNaught@lemmy.world 2 points 35 minutes ago

I honestly get where they were coming from. My "I couldn't finish it because it made me too sad" was oyasumi punpun

I only finished the second of 13 total volumes and I wasn't tearing up or anything, but I developed a sense of... dysphoric dread, I guess, from reading it

If Anon is anything like me, my advice for next steps would be to start learning about metabolic health.
