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.

Which incidentally that example is the critical thinking everyone demanded schools teach
Yeah, which also goes along with the people who complain that their English teacher pointed out that the curtains were blue and that meant the character was sad. I know there are shitty teachers out there who maybe read out of a teachers guide that blue curtains = sad and that's as far as the lesson went, but I bet in most cases the class was about noticing motifs and subtext and the only thing they came away with was "lol my teacher thinks curtains means something deep".
And then those are the kind of people to complain later that the country is going to shit because no one teaches critical thinking these days, like you said.
