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.

You guys need to read Bullshit Jobs. Some percentage of jobs just don't need to exist.
That percentage being fuckin most of them.
Fantastic book BTW.
But people need them to have a decent quality of life unfortunately
So then why do other people have to break their backs or starve?
It's not a zero sum game mate.
Ask the bosses that. Would you rather we all suffer? Or would you rather we make it so the people breaking their backs no longer need to?
Trying to drag down the people who are slightly comfortable seems counter productive.
When your slightly comfortable isn't contributing and is ok with my back pain, I start wondering why your comfort matters more than mine.
Where did I say your comfort doesn't matter? You're the one making this a zero sum discussion.
I'm also not okay with your back pain. That fucking sucks and anyone that's getting disabled by their job should be given the time and money to recover. But we'd need stronger unions to enforce that.
