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.

I really hope they get married

When she's literally your kind of crazy.

If this story doesn't convince you that birth control should be free to anyone who wants it, then you're an idiot.

The essence of the story: Meeting people in person in the real world always is better than looking for someone special on some scammy dating site...

[–] CheesyFox@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 10 hours ago

especially considering that the dating service is interested in you looking for a partner, not actually finding one

Involuntary committment to psych ward, you say?

My odds have just increased significantly

Maybe this is a Sodium (explosive) + Chlorine (corrosive) = salt (delicious) type of situation?

[–] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 15 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

At the very least they're taking each other off the market for the rest of us

unfortunately :(

30 day alcohol program is to encourage not drinking for 30 days right?

And not to be plastered for 30 days like the name implies.

Also dating during the first stages of recovery is widely discouraged. The point is to focus on yourself and feel good about yourself, not dump all your energy and focus into a new relationship.

The court has sentenced you to a month long bender. May Bacchus have mercy on your liver.

[–] Schadrach@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Pretty sure given Bacchus is over both alcohol and madness, he's going to preside over their entire relationship. Fertility too, so they may want to be extra careful with protection.

Fortunately for them I'm pretty sure he's just fertility as in fucking, not fertility as in reproducing. They just have to keep an eye out to stop Hera, Aphrodite, or Demeter from catching on to fhdm

One often leads to the other, unless prevented from doing so.

I knew a guy who met one of his wives while locked up in county jail.

By comparison, I know of a couple (met their kid), who had divorced and remarried each other so many times (often but not always with another marriage in between) that the last time they had to go to a different state because my state refused to do it yet again. Apparently the state will let you get married and divorced as many times as you'd like, but only so many times with the same partner.

[–] NOT_RICK@lemmy.world 5 points 12 hours ago

That sounds like a supreme waste of money

Okay so yes it's green text but...

I know people who work at inpatient acute facilities and they are constantly having to cockblock people to prevent truly horrible things from happening (think anorexia dating borderline or NPD + NPD)

So while this particular story may not have happened, this general story happens daily.
