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.

Once something has been thrown out as trash in a public space, it's legal for someone else to take and isn't a liability. A place that actually gave a shit would have a separate trash container for things that are still safe to eat.

In San Francisco, there are receptacles you can leave food in for homeless people. I always thought that was a good way to do it.

Might not be illegal to take trash but they put the trash bins in locked private property with do not trespass signs making it illegal to go in and take it. Fuck those places.

Yeah, that falls under a place not giving a shit and intentionally making it difficult to take thrown out food.

Those two conflict with one another

Not giving a shit about being compassionate towards homeless people specifically. They give a shit about being an asshole towards them.
