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.

If it can be proven you did that, that's gonna look real bad in court.

You can get in legal trouble for turning off your PC?

There's no law against googling how to dispose of a body, but if you do, and you're a suspect in a murder, it's a real bad look for you.

Same story here. Probably legal, but definitely not a good look.

Turning off your PC makes you look bad? What the fuck.

The comment that started this was talking about removing the RAM from your computer, which would mean disassembling it.

You're a bit hard of thinking, aren't you?

If it's proven that you did it, you are getting locked up anyway.

In 99% it is better to not say anything or indict yourself

Edit: ah, misunderstood you, with "did that" you mean turn off the computer, not whatever crime you are accused of. I'd still disagree, but only based on anecdotes, go ask a lawyer, I guess
