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.

Met a guy at a German language meet-up who let me know that I was first person who didn't ask him any questions about / discuss WW2 or nazis.

He actually grew up in East Germany in the 80's— also not great, but no one he talked to even knew that Germany had once split. They only wanted to talk about WW2. It made him very uncomfortable.

We got to discuss a lot about American culture and people's weird obsessions and developed a close relationship. It was fun!

You mean the ability from C&C: Red Alert? What does that have to do with Germany? It's a Russian superweapon, and Einstein removed Hitler from that timeline.
