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.

It's not about caring. It's the lack of choice.
Telecoms lock out phones and say "To use our network, you must use x."
IDK the Zune HD was vastly superior to the iPod touch and cheaper.
Nope. ATT at the time the iPhone came out didn't have a whitelist. Any unlocked phone with the right radios could be used. Which is why I used ATT for a decade or so. Then the 5G bullshit came out and suddenly ATT wouldn't activate a phone unless they blessed it first. So now I'm on Mint which is way cheaper and I can still use any phone that's compatible. No whitelist.
