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.

grice’s maxims

https://www.usingenglish.com/articles/grices-conversational-maxims.html for those, like me, who did not know what Grice's Maxims are. It's a short read.

believe it or not i can't remember how it all works even though i was completely obsessed with it in college. i knew how much it could benefit me if i started applying the maxims to every single thing i heard and said, which i did.
