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.

The wonders of a device that doesnt support graphene os. Must suck
As a graphene user
You still have to fork out a grand or more to google more or less directly
I spent just over $100 on a second hand one.
Same, but I spent $350 or so on the latest model. I suppose I'm giving Google some money indirectly, but I'm also probably reducing ewaste, so I think it balances out.
There's zero need to buy the newest and fanciest phone unless you just want to brag about it; my Pixel 6 Pro cost me $200 refurbished and does everything you could ask for.
Still money in Google's pocket
No, Google was paid once by the original owner. The money I paid went to the third party refurbishment company.
Increasing the demand for pixels, regardless of state
They would sit in a desk drawer otherwise.
They would be sold to others
How? How? 7a costs $350.
In your currency sure
I mean, getting that going was only mildly less involved to do. You still need to dick around with the bootloader and such.
I couldn't buy Balatro on it tho and had to pirate 😔
