Marketization Puns

Beach plum/ beach bum

This is probably common knowledge to many, but for people that sell their old vehicles as individuals, CLEAN THEM THOROUGHLY before advertising. A few hours of work can equal hundreds...if not thousands in return. I buy and sell cars and trucks often and I can't tell you how much difference it makes to a potential buyer when they look inside a car that looks and feels clean, like new.

It blows my mind when I scroll ads how many cars still have trash sitting in them when the owner snapped photos. Wrappers on the floor, cups in the cup holder, clothes on the seats. Not only does cleanliness increase the appeal to someone that drives the car, but it increases your potential buyers.

I want to add, that this goes for the engine bay as well. I live in the Midwest so prices may vary, but I can get the engine area professionally cleaned for $20. A clean engine makes the car look fresh and appear to have miles and miles of life left in it.

A small investment of labor can be worth a truckload of cash in the auto retail market. Pun intended.

I realized after I graduated that I really have a passion for Marketing Jobs but do not want to go back to school to get a Marketing Degree.

I graduated with a Sports Management degree from UMASS and have relevant class work such as Marketing, Digital Marketing, Sports Marketing and was apart of the Street Team for UMASS athletics. Also I have relevant experience in Braze and working with the DraftKings Customer Service twitter account.

Are there any other relevant coursework or training that could help make me more marketable (pun intended) to companies for positions like this?

The July 2021 release notes is here and I was eager to discover the new improvements. But what a disappointment to see all the look and feel enhancements but none of the features we have been begging for 😢

What's the point of having this online community?

For example many of us expressed the frustration of not being able to set status to waiting-answer manually but still not there. https://www.reddit.com/r/atera/comments/nbcc6a/change_ticket_status_from_awaiting_technician/

Also still no auto follow-up and auto close tickets which was requested by so many, and a #1 must in any ticketing application. https://www.reddit.com/r/atera/comments/mrx2m1/howto_or_improvement_request_auto_followupclose/

You might answer that the new look was highly requested, but it is not going to make MSP more efficient. We are wasting so much time not having these critical features; I would rather have a cluttered interface like Connectwise, but at least be efficient in my job

Your release notes say that "joy is in the little things" and include a lot of funny marketing puns. But I don't think you understand what we are going through. I wish you could provide us with the tools we so direly need

Thanks for your future understanding, Atera

You guys seriously have me invested in the stock market. (Pun intended). I’ve fallen in love with it. I’ve been living day to day trying to find a hobby, purpose, and passion. I wish I could have learned this all a year ago. I could have been rich. I’m thanking you all for your dd and hospitality. I’ve pm’d a lot of people on the subreddit with dumb questions and ninety percent have answered. 100% of them people were helpful. I seriously appreciate this you extra chromosome apes. I wasn’t able to keep a saving account. I always spent the extra money on stupid shit. In two months I’ve put back two grand. I’m done. Thanks again human people.

BONUS: Taco Bell is going to have the the deal of the century on that day. It will either be Taco "Twos"day or something about "we want your 2 cents, and in return... <corporate marketing pun here>.

Hello folks, I'd like to let you in on a certain new cummer to the market, pun intended 💦

Coomer coin (COOM) might be your next milky find; the fact that it has a market cap of $105 K makes me feel a little tingle in my wingle. Its current price stands around $0.00015 with an intra day high of a little over $0.0005. Current total holders are 271.

Jizz aside, I would think a project like this has the potential to grow, we all know the traction meme coins receive in this market, like who knew DOGE coin would be were it is today?

Liquidity has been locked by the developers for a full year decreasing a risk of having another rug pull. Total supply stands at 690,000,000 COOMS so theres plenty of semen to cum by..

The headlines:  No large DEV premine, VCs, or private ICO  High-yield DeFi ecosystem with stable governance and organic decentralized incentives  Liquidity locked & verified at Unicrypt with 85% confidence  Experienced developer team  Extensive whitepaper and prospectus  Token burn events, sweepstakes and community engagement  100% pure regret

This imo looks like a possible moonshot with erect potential 🍆 but I'll leave you to dicktate your own opinions..

Hello everyone, I completed my undergrad studies at a uni in the US, and was very careless with my loans. I’m a first generation student, and I was awarded a bunch of small scholarships (a few academic and one athletic). My studies were in Earth Science and I feel that I went into the right field for what I’m passionate about and the current climate of the job market (pun very much intended).

I got a job within 2 months of my graduation in December 2019. And I’ll be starting to pay off my loans while I live at home. My job is hourly but I’ll have the potential of making up to 70k USD before taxes. My plan is to pay double on my loan repayment which will probably be around 1600 a month, which is honestly crazy and my own fault. However I did learn a tremendous amount and I feel that I didn’t completely shoot myself in the foot. My employer is going to help me get a masters degree which will up my pay in the long term.

I’ve been having severe anxiety because of my poor decision making, but I know I can’t change those decisions now, and only can make better decisions going forward. Any advice?

I'm reading Mark Fisher for the first time, and he notes that, in education, bureaucracy has been used in an attempt to quantify value in the absence of a market. I'm interested in this idea. Fisher cites this paper, 'Cognitive Capitalism' and the Rat-Race: How Capital Measures Immaterial Labour in British Universities, which I'm about to read, but I'd appreciate recommendations of any other major theorists who have discussed this idea of how bureaucracy, form-filling, polling, focus groups, etc. have attempted to quantify the value of services. I know I need to read up on "Immaterial Labor," of which I've read next to nothing.

What else should I be looking into?

Here's the full passage from Capitalist Realism, chapter 6, "All that is solid melts into PR: Market Stalinism and bureaucratic anti-production":

>This battery of bureaucratic procedures is by no means confined to universities, nor to education: other public services, such as the National Health Service and the police force, find themselves enmeshed in similar bureaucratic metastases.
>
>This is in part a consequence of the inherent resistance of certain processes and services to marketization. (The supposed marketization of education, for instance, rests on a confused and underdeveloped analogy: are students the consumers of the service or its product?) The idealized market was supposed to deliver ‘friction free’ exchanges, in which the desires of consumers would be met directly, without the need for intervention or mediation by regulatory agencies. Yet the drive to assess the performance of workers and to measure forms of labor which, by their nature, are resistant to quantification, has inevitably required additional layers of management and bureaucracy. What we have is not a direct comparison of workers’ performance or output, but a comparison between the audited representation of that performance and output. Inevitably, a short-circuiting occurs, and work becomes geared towards the generation and massaging of representations rather than to the official goals of the work itself. Indeed, an anthropological study of local government in Britain argues that ‘More effort goes into ensuring that a local authority’s services are represented correctly than goes into actually improving those services’. This reversal of priorities i

So you know how we have the Provokk shoulder guard, in the form of a left shoulder Grineer helmet? Well they're hardly our only enemy, now are they? So I'd be in the Market (puns) for a Corpus variant. Have it be on the right shoulder so that you can wear both at the same time. Because sometimes you just want to wear your enemies as trophies.

So Sow Joan's English name is a pun on the Dow Jones and that got me thinking. Is Daisy Mae also a stock market pun that I'm not getting or is it just meant to be cute (which it is regardless of whether or not it's a pun)?

I'm researching my first gravel bike purchase and am very interested in the GT Grade, but I can't find anything about it on GT's U.S. web site -- not even any listing for a gravel or the "enduroad" category GT had been using -- and it appears to be really hard to find in stores. Is GT still making the Grade for the U.S. market? (Pun not intended!)

The following question have now come up a few times in discussions on the topic of the Freedom Dividend. I know this isn't a forum just for Yang's idea of the FD, but he's currently cornered the market [pun] on the topic here in the US and he likes Math.

I am not really looking for speculations of what you think he should do, but definitive answers of what you are certain he will do - either his own program or how other programs made sure people were who they said they were.

If you answer any of these questions please distinguish your answers with YANG or OTHER. If you REALLY feel the need to speculate, please make that very clear in your answer. thanks.

I realize some might think, 'shut up, who cares, it's $1000!' but there are people who are very skeptical of the FD as 'just more welfare,' and believe the current system is ripe with more than enough fraud already, and believe the FD or any UBI program will open the system up to even more fraud and taxation.

So to be clear:

1. If the FD is for US Citizens 18+ only, what proof will be required to receive the FD?

• 2. Andrew Yang points out there are 126 Welfare Programs he will merge, INCLUDING Social Security, what happens to the Welfare Programs given/used by non-citizens and undocumented (illegal) people in the US?

-a. is there a list of the 126 programs he will merge? [link?]

-b. will he use what is left of the current welfare system to share information with other Federal or Private Agencies?

-c. what are the penalties for cheating the FD System? How will this be implemented?

-d. will he offer a reward program for those who report violators of the current Welfare System and the FD System?

-e. Yang said if you are in jail you do not receive the FD. how will the FD System be notified?

• 3. Will Yang implement and use the e-verify system?
• 4. How will the FD not destroy Social Security?
• 5. Will payment into Social Security, via a pay check. still be required * - isn't the VAT enough?
• 6. Will Yang raise the SS tax wage cap of $128,400 to Total Income?
• 7. For senior, what happens to MediCARE with the FD?
• 8. For the poor and disabled, what happens to MediCAID with the FD?
• 9. Will there be a new Federal Department for the FD?

*Social Security tax rate in the US is currently 12.4% - up to a taxable wage of $128,400, Employees contribute half, 6.2%, while the employer contributes the other

Is there a main concentration/growing market (pun intended) for cannabis jobs in the US besides the obvious ones (WA,CO and CA) ?

I’ll be reviewing Strong Dungarees in Off Black, released on February 28th, 2017, and in Dark Olive, released on September 14th, 2017. Here’s the Outlier shop link [link]. Here’s an album of some user photography. For those with nothing to lose: [link.]

So what are the Strong Dungaree? Skinny jean fit paired with the tech fabric cousin of hefty cigarette jeans.

Strong Dungarees are a slim cut of heavy, just-pliable nylon fabric. The nylon breathes & wicks sweat enough to keep you cool up to 73 F/23 C when relaxing and up to 61 F/16 C when you’re moving a little. The cold & wind gets buffered a bit, but you have cool, breathing nylon stretched over your leg. Without layers, I don’t like being below 40 F/4.5 C if I’m not exercising. The inside face is a bit rough on fabric, the twill ridges are pretty high and stiff. With a slim cut, in high-friction areas like the thighs and knees, base layers made with organic materials will pill/age fast.. For how rough a slim cut of stiff twill can be on fabric, Strongtwill is really comfortable. The nylon is very soft, it’s like feeling the ghost of a twill flannel. There is a tactile amount of height to the ridge in the hand, but not on the legs. There is also less heavy fabric in contact with your skin, so you get the stacking of a heavy fabric with the heat performance of flat light fabric

The height and density of the ridges creates dark shade, contrasting dark lines next to the reflective nylon lines. This makes Strong Dungarees a bit loud in moderately-lit indoor settings. I especially like this effect in colors of nature, like the Dark Olive and Ganache colorways. Brings back memories of the color-contrast of dappled sunlight in a forest. The drab urban colorways also take well for the same reason. Strongtwill doesn’t have the waxy look of F. Cloth or the shininess of Slim Dungarees, so it holds shadows well. The pants blend into the night. Even lit by neon signs, your pants barely reflect muted light. It’s nice to wear clothing a bit showy when you want to be presentable indoors, but muted enough to not draw especial attention while walking down a dim street.

Strong Dungarees have thick stacking from knee to hem while standing. The stiff twill gives great structure and then a touch of stretch keeps everything smooth. The stacking, the slight sheen, fabric texture, and the slim cut are my main consideratio

If you've never used Udemy, it's a fantastic site to find classes in just about anything you want to learn, including a whole marketing/design section for those of us who want to expand our skills to be more marketable (pun definitely intended.)

Prices go up the 18th so get yours while you can. Definitely some great bootcamps and intensive courses. Go out and get you some knowledge!

Please answer this.

I've seen the complaints. I was one of them. Sony's IP address location service is shit. It's beyond shit. It's fucking shit. It's nuclear garbage shit.

There, that's out of the way. When I originally attempted to sign up, it kept putting my IP in the NYC market even though I should be in the Boston Market (pun intended). I called them up and they did the same thing they do for everybody: uninstall, shut off the machine, let the CSR do their thing, turn back on, and re-install. I did that twice with the same rep and it didn't work either time. Eventually that rep told me they couldn't help me beyond that. That's when I lost my shit and said I wanted to talk to a manager. All of this was after going through the credit card false denials bullshit and buying PSN cards.

Here was the solution they came up with. They sent me an e-mail and asked me to return it with a picture of a utility bill to verify my address. Now comes the patience. I thought it was some bullshit they were using to get me off the phone. What happened was a month later I received an e-mail telling me that everything was all set. I logged onto my account through my computer (it's important to do it through their website and not on your PS4) and was able to set up payment without false denials. I was also put into the Boston market so my payment was only $30 instead of $40 (which is what I wanted). So, if you're having this problem and you're willing to give it about a month, ask to speak to a manager about setting this deal up. It actually does work.

Looking into investing in some stocks that could get big in a couple years and wondering if anyone here is dabbing in the market, pun intended.

Since I love playing on words personally, I thought I'd share some of my ideas on catchy level names related to the mario universe.

In marketing, puns are a really strong instrument which can make your product more appealing / draw interest. You can transfer this concept to promoting your level here on reddit or on miiverse.

Anyway - I hope to inspire you with my little list of ideas and encourage you all to share some fun ideas on level names. :)

Shit Shit SHIT!

-A young girl bursts from a door leading to an ally way, followed by a violent explosion of blue flames that shatters the wall and throws her into the on parallel to it. The crack of her arm hitting the wall, thrown by the violent explosion, causes her to cry out in pain, and tears to leave her eyes but she doesn't hesitate for a second, picking herself up and continuing down the alley way in a mad sprint. Sweat drips from her face and long brown hair, mixing with her own blood leaking from a few cuts and bruises on her face. She sprints at a high speed however, particles of green light gathering at her feet signifying her mastery of the technique known as 'bringer stepping'. She took sharp turns down the winding ally ways of New York, like a rat in a maze running away from who or what was chasing her. It didn't take too long though to reach a dead end however, causing her to skid to a halt. She runs her hands over the surface of the dead end, and darting her head around looking for a way out. Her panic stricken expression only getting worse by the second. She pounds her fists on the hard brick over and over again, cursing under her breath stopping when the click of a heel rings behind her.-

That's far enough.

-Another woman's voice rings out behind her while the young fullbringer girl fails to move a muscle, paralyzed with fear.-

W-what do you want from me? WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS?

-The girl almost spits out the words, barely getting them out at all through her fear-

This isn't about what I want. It's about what's right. Which happens to be the answer to your second question. It's the right thing to do.

-The girl begins to sob as the woman walks closer and closer, taking her time approaching. The fullbringer sinks to her knees, turning and resting her shoulder on the cold brick wall.-

This wasn't supposed to happen... I'm not ready to die......YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO THIS! HAVE YOU NO HUMANITY?

Tch.

-The woman, with her shadow now eclipsing the girl, pulls a blue steel katana from her waist and flicks it to the side.-

Does a doctor worry about his humanity when removing a tumor?

-The woman's katana suddenly becomes engulfed in blue flames and she raises it high above her head, filling the ally with it's blue light-

Why should I worry about removing a cancer of the planet.

n-NO-

*-The blade swings down and the girl is engulfed in blue flames. Her cries of pain ring off the walls and into the air as she slowly burns al
