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.

Because I already have them and don't need to download them again. 500mb on a mediocre day is like 2 hours.
If you mean online games, I tend not to because they often work poorly. For some strange, totally inexplicable reason that definitely has nothing to do with my terrible internet.
dang, sometimes i think my shit is slow, my heart goes out to you.
My mom told me she's on 25 Mbps the other day. Have no idea how she survives.
Instant gratification has rotted y'all's brains. A stable 25 down is not just survivable but cromulent. I'm on 100 down 40 up and can't imagine how having a gigabit connection would make my experience any better when the bottlenecks are generally upstream of the ISP.
Nah, fuck off with that shit. I wanna download a modern game in less than 3 hours, thank you very much
My 500 both ways has yet to hit a bottleneck when it comes to large downloads, and has saved me hours upon hours of time since I got upgraded from 100. You have no idea what youre on about
100% this. Latency is far more important than bandwidth for most things and I'd much rather have a 50/20 FTTP service than a 300/100 cable or DSL line.
