marlene

the evan barty stuff?? 

 

marlene

evan came into my work today

 

marlene

he was texting barty the whole time he was eating his pancakes

 

marlene

theyve known eachother like 2 days

 

dorcas

so unfair that they get a good “some random person gave me their number!!!!” experience

 

dorcas

this reminds me of capitalist dystopian hell hit tv show

 

dorcas

shark tank

 

marlene

um

 

marlene

and in what way is that exactly….

 

dorcas

well i mean they put in the effort to exchange numbers

 

dorcas

but they lucked out with finding someone compatible in the wild!

 

dorcas

i could give a million ppl my number

 

dorcas

and never find my true love

 

marlene

we’re texting rn, arent we???

 

dorcas

what

 

dorcas

oh

 

dorcas

Ha Ha

 

dorcas

ur soooo smooth mckinnon

 

marlene

🥰🥰🥰

 

marlene

yeah i know <3🥰🥰🥰🥰

 

marlene

im still not seeing the connection to shark tank

 

dorcas

oh just that all these ppl they work so hard making a product

 

dorcas

and then the sharks can just judge it

 

dorcas

and be like “oh maybe work harder”

 

dorcas

“we did u can too🥺🥺🥺”

 

dorcas

or at least u know, give off that vibe

 

dorcas

idk a youtube video essayist could explain it better

 

dorcas

but now evan and barty could just tell me

 

dorcas

“dorcas we found a person we like by giving out phone numbers u can too!!!”

 

marlene

ok i see ur point

 

marlene

are you currently hate watching shark tank or something?

 

dorcas

yes.

 

dorcas

its infiltrated my mind because i am reading back my messages i just sent and like…

 

dorcas

there is a connection but it isnt anything to write home about

 

marlene

IM GETTING IT NOW 

 

marlene

I MAKE A SERVERS WAGE AT A COUNTER SERVICE RESTAURANT

 

marlene

I LOVE CONNECTING EVERY ANNOYING MONEY THING TO CAPITALISM

 

marlene

THERE IS ALWAYS A CONNECTION

 

dorcas

CAN YOU BELIEVE

 

dorcas

THESE PPL ARE GIVING THESE RICH PEOPLE CONTENT

 

dorcas

FOR THEIR HARD WORK TO BE CRITICIZED ON TV

 

dorcas

FOR A *CHANCE*

 

dorcas

AT GETTING A RICH BUSINESS PARTNER

 

dorcas
