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.

Probably conservatives. "Why can't we just take our trucks to wherever you're dragging us?"
Bah. I don't have a car and go to national parks "nearby" (about 100 km) using my bike and one thing that I find unfortunate is the lack of public transit to those places. So usually, what one can find at the bottom of a hiking trail, is a parking full of cars.
It's not a matter of politics but more about car culture. Like, watch any YT vlogger and most will go to their hiking trails with a car, or even a truck, exclaiming that they love nature.
Personally I have to make compromises when I invite someone hiking and/or camping. That means leaving the bike home and going to the trail or the camp site with a car. It's unfortunate but it's just how most people see spending time in nature.
