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.

Have fun commuting 30 miles to work on that thing. Especially when there's 8 or 10 inches of snow, -10 wind-chill, or there's a thunderstorm rolling in. I've seen people do it; they look absolutely fucking miserable and it's a miracle it doesn't kill them.
Enter the saviour of the commuter - trains.
I like trains
sees happy person
gets mad
Yeah good luck driving your car through a tornado. I've seen it, these people didn't look happy.
Respect to those folks. A miserable ride is often rewarding because it's one of those lows that is eminently temporary and gives you an appreciation for the highs, especially if you are dressed appropriately so as not to catch a cold or some such. Kind of like shoveling snow for that sweet sweet mug of hot chocolate on the sofa afterwards. But yeah, also a good city will provide alternative options for its citizens, trains, buses, rideshare even. If a 30 mile bike ride is the only alternative to driving from place A to place B, your government doesn't want you to have any kind of freedom to choose how you get from place A to place B, if there are no affordable housing options or good job opportunities that change that equation, your government is working on behalf of the big car manufacturers and dealers to keep you enslaved in debt to them, which is pretty fucked up
You may have misread the history. The man is having fun with his current commute and he does not seems to be looking for some sort of a change in his routine.
Some corrections:
Thank you. I'll change that.
You're welcome! I hope I didn't come off as rude.
Nah... don't worry. I know I never check twice the messages I wrote on social media. They are bound to be full of mistakes. Plus my french autocorrector modifies my english. Still, if I write to be read I should try to be readable (^_^)
This person just wanted to feel clever. Your English is fine and required no corrections to understand because this is a forum not a university essay.
We don't know that. Maybe he was genuinely trying to help me improve my English, maybe he was genuinely having a hard time reading me bc of my mistakes. Even if it was about being clever there is no point for me or any of us to react with negativity and ruin our mood.
Lets be forgiving. It will make our life better. 🫰
Get a life.
The commenter I replied to is from a French instance. If I were writing in a different language, I would want to know where I've made mistakes.
I didn't ask for your life story.
Actually, in a way, you did! You said "get a life", which indicates you think I don't have one. Me giving you information about me shows that I do have one. So now you're more informed than you were before!
Bruh I will literally just stay home if there is that much snow I'm not fucking stupid
That's when it gets fun no bad weather just bad gear
Don't live in the USA, simple as.
Children in Norway ride their bikes to school every day, even in the snow. Are you saying you're weaker than these literal children and need your climate controlled box to keep you comfortable? You can also choose to live closer to work if you want. Surprisingly most adults get to choose where they live.
