Actually, it gives off comic book sound effect vibes

imma parlay on KAPOWs entering journalistic lexicon in 10 years.

I’m starting to think journalists watch action shows for their headline vocab:

BLASTS

SLAMS

STRIKES BACK

Hi guys!!! Welcome to my Shein haul! Today, we’re going to be going over some of the best garments that you can get on Shein -today- for less than $10!

Yep… We even have a sub-category of social media content fully dedicated to buying and showing off stuff from it.

You do not have the cards

Neoliberalism being bodied economically both by communism and fascism would be really funny if the fascism wasn’t so horrifying.

Return to a mixed-model capitalist-feudal system and read Mao to the rednecks American peasants

I presume so. I’ve never heard the full word pronounciation, but I’ve definitely heard it with the dropped consonant, so I presume anyone in the region who says it with the consonant pronounce it that way. I’m actually lowkey losing it because I have no idea how I’ve heard one without the other…

Oh, nah, I’m pretty sure it’s both depending on the region. AAVE has regional differences and I think that pronunciation is one of them

I do think the a in car is more common though, mostly has to do with how the predominant regional accent influences your pronunciation is my guess, but I’m not a massive linguistics nerd so that’s a fairly uneducated hypothesis

A lot of us don’t pronounce the -ss in ass so it sounds like a held ah-. If you know Japanese it’s like the っ in a word like natsu vs nattsu. It sounds almost like a pause in a sentence. Depending on the sentence it may also sound like aa instead. Thing is, we don’t really write it like that, at least up til my gen, idk bout these kids but it looks like a literal writing of the pronunciation. A similar thing is done with iono (don’t think that one is very common though) which stands for I don’t know and is based on the almost slurred together way it’s said from dropping consonants in speech.

Yeah from what it looks like it sounds like how a lot of black folks pronounce ass, I wouldn’t be surprised if it was some Frankenstein’d abomination of both censorship and appropriation though.

Was this self-censorship? I thought it was just coopting AAVE again.

I need to renew my Magneto Was Right membership.

I hate the constant guilt tripping of certain sectors where they try to weaponize the harm (or sometimes mere inconvenience) of you not slaving away for them on their terms. Maybe, if it is so urgent, pony up the cash, and things can get back to normal faster!

Just use a divination orb nerd

A short is based on borrowed stock, basically you borrow a bunch of shares from someone for and sell them for money, with a promise to return them later. If it goes down, that means when you rebuy it to return it’s much cheaper and you can pocket the difference.

A put is a contract that you make with someone that says someone will buy a stock from you at a certain price if you decide to sell. The contract comes with an expiration date and a fee for you based off of calculated likelihood. The idea is, if the stock drops below that amount and then drops enough to cover the fee (the breakeven point), you invoke the contract and make a profit.

There is a lot more to it including reselling the contract etc. but frankly it’s a glorified gambling hall for the most part unless you’re in the know or have enough influence to move it yourself for specific tipping points.

Puts on the US. Massive bull trap ahead 🫡
