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.

Fortunately, this is easy to work around, just get a VPN hosted in a didn't different state or country.

We have something similar here in Utah, so I have a WiFi network that is always connected to a VPN in a neighboring state. If something isn't accessible, I just swap WiFi networks and I'm good.

The whole porn ban thing is probably my all-time favorite example of conservatives voting against themselves.

Meanwhile, in California, I can watch all the porn I want without registering myself in a database and walk down the street to the weed store. And the women in my life still have rights over their own bodies.

So I guess Democrats are actually the party of freedom.

B- b- but, California b-b-bad! 🥺 Don't you see how oppressed you are? You're really oppressed out there. 🥺

California is bad for voting to keep prison slavery and refusing to solve the housing crisis with a council housing system much like the UK used to have.

Me: This is America.

Pornhub: This content is not available in your state due to ID verification legislation.

My VPN: This is Germany.

Eh, no need for crazy latency, just get one in Colorado or something nearby.

My favorite small example of this is trying to watch a video on YouTube. If my VPN is set to United States then im told 'You can't watch this unless you log in.'

I switch to Germany and like magic the video plays. So clearly they didn't need to confirm I wasn't a bot. They just wanted to track my viewing habits.

This is how we lose access to personal encryption

What do you mean?

This is a great opportunity to learn how to use a VPN! I'm in a blue state so haven't needed one yet, but the time is definitely coming.

Yup, my red state pulled this nonsense, so I made a WiFi network that connects to a VPN for you in a less stupid state. If I get blocked somewhere, I just change WiFi networks.

And ANON doesn’t understand how to use a VPN?

If they knew that, they wouldn't have made the post

Will porn be the straw that broke the mountain's back?
