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:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Hey, no hate on people loving sports!

My point was it's super clear why a teenager wants to thirst on a pretty woman playing vidya.

Now, my irish mates all having their club and being all very serious about it, when they'll curse the English in the same sentence has always been hilarious to me.
And I'm talking people from fecking Donegal, who lived through the Troubles and shit. Never understood that one.

Why?

Their mad at the English government, not the English people. An English football club is entirely separate from the English government.

Good point, cheers!

It’s cool.

I’ve never really understood it either to be honest. I’ve gravitated to solo sports and more admiration at the ability than the winning per se.

I’m from Manchester, UK, so been around a lot of Irish people. Had a lovely time in Port-Stewert once. (Port-Stewart?) At the same time I’ve put countless hours into Minecraft, Factorio, Running, or climbing and people wonder why.
