He doesn't understand the market. He figured more people could afford $100. Except the ceiling is so much higher, it's akin to buying a car for like $500. What you're paying for probably isn't that good. Now, she gets a page and a high price - that's a high quality experience you're after, and people pay more for experiences than tangible things.
Stripper posts insane story on Twitter with more twists than a Shonda Rhimes script

Do you actually not understand how someone totally fluent in english making comments about not being able to read this due to her use of language is classist or even racist? or are you just being pedantic
Uh oh, the r-word, prepare for the feels.
seems like a lot of effort to go through to make up the story. i think it might be real, but the last tweet pretty much says she trolled everyone.
pulease.....
Like, I clearly wasn't talking about non-native english speakers so why even get so defensive unless... Hmm...
Maybe they didn't get that part cause they're non-native speaking *Shrug*
Just not understanding is one thing. The ugly thing is coming in here and being pompous / superior about it.
The weird tone is people acting like they're proud they can't understand it or sneering at it like.

Trick is to sell one's body for money.
seriously story needs localization
I'M TALKING ABOUT THE GARDENING TOOL.
Let's not mince words.
That part is in the story dude. That exact sentence.
I'm surprised you could read it tbh

Really hope to see the movie adaptation to this story soon.
thats not true AT ALL
yes, and other words could be chosen so that it is more widely understood.
Oh, this I can get. I just glanced at some posts of calling posters "racist" or "dumb" for not understanding and thought that was uncalled for. Being proud though, that's pretty shitty. :/
Maybe. I caught your post about being "less dumb" and didn't really get why you'd go against someone like that.
Anyway, thanks Brakke. That put things into perspective.
But I can't relate
Trick can also refer to a person buying the services of an escort

exactly, things like asking if she has a speech impediment for example...
Sorry for being a shithead, it's just been happening all thread with people coming in proudly proclaiming "this isn't english, how can anyone read this!?" as if their inability to understand a perfectly understandable english story should be lauded.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
This is the one I found. Can someone confirm?
EDIT: Some people are saying it isn't. I pulled it from twiiter, so idk.
Lol, they're total fucking C.H.U.D.s
But I bet thy seen the Wire 3 times
It's hard to directly translate slang. It's context sensitive.
The best I can say for "lowkey" is take the word "obviously", and add a modifier slightly distancing yourself from the statement.
"Lowkey, those bitches are salty" could be read as "I'm not saying those girls are upset, but those girls are really upset."

No, she was posting stream of consciousness on twitter and didn't expect anyone to be following the complete story because she was talking to nobody in particular, and yet an unknown number of people were on the edge of their seats, waiting for each part.
"perfectly understandable"

You have the internet at your fingertips. Just look it up.
What? No, it's low key. It means subtle, the antithesis of obvious.
It's okay. <3
It's not the first time my basic knowledge of English has gotten me in trouble after all.
Lowkey generally means kind of, I use lightweight in the place of kind of outside of professional settings.

It is though. If the vast majority understood it (even non-native english speaker such as myself) then maybe you're the problem?
It is. It's not her fault you can't read basic ass shit
"basic ass shit." in one sense, it certainly is.
It's okay. <3

I think marrec was unfair to you, but just look at the first few pages and some posts have a certain...flair to them:
Edit: Ha, the first one has a typo.

this right here is exactly what sells you out. you can easily look up something you might not understand on urban dictionary. but then you some how feel the need to post that "it was hard to read" or "i need this translated, i didn't understand". don't be surprised when people look at you suspiciously for that.
As far as readability, this story was one of the easiest things I've ever followed on twitter because it was just one person. Try understanding wtf was going on with Gamer Gate, the Drake/Meek Mill beef, or the DeAndre Jordan signing, without reading an off-twitter synopsis -that's impossible.
I shoulda added j/k to my post. I'll do that now.

Considering there is a debate on this very page on what lowkey means, I'm not sure I'd describe it as basic. I can read it; I don't understand it all.
aww darn my life is not interesting enough to justify a police investigation
I broadly understood most of the story, but the words used should probably be changed for a better understanding.
Tarantino already wrote True Romance.

It isn't hard to look up lowkey on the urban dictionary. Instead, just come cry about it on neogaf. It would have taken fewer key strokes to look it up than to type they couldn't understand what the idiom meant
Is Enlgish not your native language?
The antithesis is the point. It's slang.
It's like when all the dumb white boys started saying "sick" in the '90s.

Whenever I'm ready to give up on the story, Jarrett starts punching himself in the face and I'm pulled back in.
For some reason Z looks like that British dude that played "Tank" in Rocknrolla and Jarrett looks like Peter Sarsgaard in my head. For some reason I envisioned Zola as Tia Tequila. Not sure why.
Good read and probably true.
