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.

Steam Gift Card…..

i know it's not the point of the post, but people that use "which" incorrectly like this really grinds my gears

in which, to which, etc. it isn't that hard

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

It seems correct? Like "for which I will have no response" and "which I will have no response for." It's not even Yodafied. It's just a mildly complicated construction.

i get what he's trying to say, it's just phrased poorly and misusing "to which". it seems like someone trying, and failing, to sound smart.

one way to see if you should use "which", "to which" or "for which" is to put the preposition at the end and see if that sounds like something an actual human speaker of the language would say (yes, it's technically grammatically incorrect to put a preposition at the end of a sentence, but whatever)

i.e.

he will most likely question it which i will have no reason to justify as to why i did it to

rephrasing it

he will most likely question it, for which i will have no justification

Can you elaborate on the issue to which you are referring?

Embrace chaos. Keep everything public.

Ask for money instead and then buy it yourself.

Dude on my friends list leaves it completely public. Always know when he's crankin his hog

Right click on his name and click watch game

Yes but by default it gives a pop-up asking if you want to stream. In the options you can set it to no or always allow I think

Damn what a power move

Pure confidence

That's what steamkeys are for. They are also more profitable for the creator!

"Said steam account is filled to the brim with furry shit"

Bruh.

[–] [email protected] 29 points 5 months ago (1 children)

They just added ways to make games private on your game, likely for this exact scenario

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

Lol "Anon, I thought you liked video games but your account only has the The Sims with 6 hours played. And how did you get such a high level on your account with only that?"

[–] [email protected] 16 points 5 months ago (1 children)

There are furry games on steam. No! No this is terrible. I can’t believe this. Where? Where exactly are the furry games so I can avoid them. Like where specifically?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Well, you're in a green text community, so I guess start with Furry Hitler

I prefer sex with stalin

Give the relative your email address instead of the account. You'll still get the game that way

[–] [email protected] -3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

If you don't want everyone to know something you do. It's probably because you are ashamed. You should stop that then. If it's because if "societal norms" then fuck that. Be yourself in the face of that shit society, and you will feel much better, and find better friends that like you as you are.

There are plenty of things that I'm not ashamed of, that would be embarrassing to have a relative see. I'm not ashamed to take a shit rn but I don't want my relatives to see me doing it. All humans need some degree of privacy.

[–] [email protected] -3 points 5 months ago

I am all for poking at this viewpoint, I'm not sure it's actually universial myself. But taking a shit is just not embarrassing, I don't think it's a good example. Yeah, privacy definitely matters, but what I'm getting at is, if you do stuff alone that makes you ashamed, it's just not healthy imo
