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.

At least they owned the liberals, right?
It must be real inconvenient to have to turn on a VPN, it's like a whole button that they have to click, Libs totally owned. Meanwhile the actual weird idiots that voted for this can barely operate a mouse and so they actually do have to suffer the consequences of their own decisions.
well yes it's inconvenient to have to pay to pretend to be in another country to access a website
Why another country? Just pick a neighboring state so you don't get terrible latency.
And Proton VPN is free and is probably fast enough to get the job done. Or there's Tor. You don't necessarily have to pay.
Then there’s “normal” websites that use cloudflare and blocks vpn access for no good reason (looking at you Home Depot and Lowe’s), or worse yet, they redirect you to a country-specific website based on the ip location.
Big box stores vary prices by regions. So no vpn makes sense.
That’s why they have the ability to lookup and select a store. I actually opened a help desk ticket with Home Depot and they did eventually fix it so vpn is allowed. Lowe’s I kinda just gave up by that point.
You mean like Reddit? Reddit folded to OpenAI btw. Open AI was co-founded by Elon Musk. You can just tell they are not on the good side of history.
Like a lot of websites. I also forgot to mention how Google has to verify you’re human because you’re on VPN.
Trump needs to add jailtime for using VPN's.
