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.

Imagine having to navigate that site to buy a new monitor, without a monitor.

Remember YouTube before ads? Seriously profit motive and infinite growth ruins everything. I want to play Luigi’s mansion every time google asks me to switch to an app or sign in when I google something. Like fuck off.

OK. Someone please drop a comment to this post telling me how to make all the "sign in to Google" and "Allow Essential Cookie" popups to go away. uBlock filter list?

Consent-O-Matic should make the cookie popups less of a problem at least.

If you encounter web pages where consent-o-matic doesn't work, you can report them.

Though it might take a while if the page is unpopular.

There's a cookie popup blocker in the filter lists by default. You can just enable it and it will dissapear 90% of cookie popups

In 2005 they would have just taken your data without asking.

Hitting myself with the Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind machine

Websites in 2005 never had annoying popups and obnoxious JavaScript and a thousand bad design decisions that made using them terrible.

Everything was so easy back then and you could always trust your anonymous Internet retail vendor to do exactly what you paid them for.
