  You don’t own your Kindle books because you bought them from Amazon

  I don’t own mine because I pirated them

  We are not the same

  edit: I actually try to circle back around and buy physical copies of any book I really enjoy. But I’m much better about paying for video games, tabletop games, and even journalism than I am fiction… I think my bezos resentment gets in the way a bit there.

  No doubt! But as others are pointing out in this thread, words often migrate from culture to culture and I don’t think using “thicc” is any more than using “cool” is (which also used to be edgy, AAVE-sourced slang).

  “OH LAWD” in all caps hits different to me. It sounds like caricature of an accent, not just earnest adoption of a fun word.

  I don’t think “thicc” is AAVE. That is pretty much an Internet-ism as the original post says. “OH LAWD” though, yeah, is cringe.
