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.

I find it humorous that you're sitting around being irritated that we don't live in the future imaginings of the boomer generation from 60 years ago.
Don't judge me for wanting a nuclear flying car!
I'm judging you for not dreaming your own future and instead relying on dreams of the future that are 60 years old.
60 years old. That's how old your idea of the future is.
Heh, I get it. I don't really want flying cars. I want walkable cities and cycling highways. But I do feel a bit nostalgic for a future we didn't have where at the very least we would have some serious exploration of Europa by now (and some other likely candidates for alien life).
