#aoc stream

women. they were so amazing and talented, never once had they failed to amaze you - including aoc. yes, you liked men too but that’s not important right now. what was important was trying to get aoc to break up with her boyfriend, riley whatever. and yes, you know you should never idolize politicians and such, but she was just too cute - you couldn’t help it. hearing her cute little laugh when you playfully flirted with her made your insides all giddy. and not to forget her replies to some of the pick-up lines, they just made you want to melt. if you were honest she was making the whole lobby melt with her cuteness, the chat too. 

while you were waiting for new people to join, you moved your character next to aoc’s and tried to sweep her off her feet.  “aoc, you know, when i was younger….” you trailed and sighed, waiting for her response.

“oh? what is it y/n?” she asked, voice filled with concern. cute, she was genuinely worried. you felt kind of bad for making her worry, but you gotta do what you gotta do. 

“my parents, they,” you paused for a dramatic effect and sighed once more, “they told me disney land was the happiest place on earth… they clearly were never in a discord call with you…”

she laughed, shaking her head. chat was flying by, some calling you out for flirting with a politician and how bad it was but you didn’t care. “that was super cheesy, but i loved it!” she exclaimed, laughing even harder. 

you smiled, happy could make her laugh. she was so sweet and full of life, you were more than glad you even got to breathe the same air as her. not only was she extremely intelligent, but she also had the looks of a goddess, how could you possibly control yourself? you were sure work was extremely taxing on her being, mentally and physically and you were glad you could at least make her laugh in tough times. a discord notification interrupted your thoughts, someone had joined the call. 

“aoc meet corpse, corpse meet aoc!” poki said, excitement evident in her voice.

“oh, hi aoc, y/n” corpse said, voice kind of quiet. he was probably nervous, i mean who wouldn’t be - you were playing with a fucking polititican. 

“hello, corpse!” aoc replied, very clearly smiling as she spoke. you couldn’t blame her, corpses voice could make anyone smile. 

“heya corpsie,” you paused and turned your attention back to aoc, mimicking a kiss noise in your mic as your googles touched, “for my favorite girl!” chat, once again, exploded. the others in the call all laughed, except for your favorite dead body - how only let out an awkward huff, not that you noticed or cared. 

after a couple more jokes and pick-up lines, the game started. you were, like always, a crewmate. you decided to let aoc have some space and ran off to finish your tasks, starting in navigation. you did your card swipe and began making your way to electrical, passing sean on your way there. as you finished your download, a body was reported. 

“it was in reactor,” toast made a little hmm noise and continued, “where was everyone?” everyone said where they were, or described it to the best of their abilities. 

“i think sean is a little sus, only because i saw him walk away from that direction…” you trailed off, waiting to see if anyone cleared him or had suspicions. 

“i, i think it’s aoc,” corpse said, slightly stuttering - poor baby was probably sweating in anxiety. 

“what! what makes you say that, corpse?” aoc replied, clearly shocked at the sudden accusation. 

you smiled to the camera, a perfect opportunity for a certain pick up line, “corpse! i agree completely!” 

“i didn’t do anything,” aoc mumbled, obviously confused.

“aoc...my dear beloved...vented!” you paused to hear the shocked gasps from the others, “into my heart!” 

the call was silent for a moment as everyone processed what you said, but was quickly filled with laughter from all your friends. aoc let out a little giggle, “you guys had me worried!” 

“aoc’s not denying that she vented….speedrun?” corpse asked, voice soft as he finished talking. 

“hey- wait ! i don’t even know how to vent-” the suspect tried to defend herself, but it was drowned out by corpse chanting ‘speedrun’.

“corpse you seemed so nervous and polite when you first aoc, why are you meme voting her out your first game together?” sean asked, a teasing tone in his voice.

corpse didn’t reply, too distracted with chanting ‘speedrun’. aoc was panicking, she had no idea what was happening.

sean made a little ‘ohh’ sound, finally realizing what was happening, “corpse, are you upset that y/n found a new favorite person?”

toast spoke up, “that explains his unusual behavior, normally y/n is using her terrible pick up lines on him so maybe, just maybe, he’s jealous.” 

poki slapped her hand over her mouth dramatically, “it’s all coming together!” 

“awww, corpsie! is that why you want to vote out my pretty girl aoc?” maybe teasing him wasn’t the best decision, but it was the funniest. 

he stopped chanting, and stayed quiet for a few seconds. “no…” he trailed off, voice barely a whisper. 

“corpse, my beautiful boy,” you laughed and shook your head, smiling so much it hurt, “you’ll always be my favorite boy.” 

So they played the game like Hedge Funds play all the time. The problem is, though, is that when poor folks try to play it they get regulated.

She spoke with two trading experts and a retail stock exchanger (someone who exchanges stock for people like us and at RobinHood).

Robinhood is a trash app. They have been losing money for people this whole time  because they just aren’t equipped to trade at the same efficency as bigger players on Wallstreet. It’s so bad, they had to pay a fine.

Wallstreet has been allowed to gamble with TRILLIONS of dollars, our money that we put into banks. They give us pennies, while they make buck. 

Hedge funds go onto television shows and control the market by what they say. Roaring Kitty just get his research and decided to start his own rally. (The Gamestonk).

There seems to be no penalty from stealing from the poor. Its only when the rich are stolen from does the government do any thing substantial. The rich also get bailed out with golden parachutes any time things go south (Too big to Fail, that whole financial crisis in 2008).

AOC talked about Worker’s Cooperatives (basically) where employees sit at these boards where they have stakeholders and stock-owners. She talked alot about how we have physicists creating atomic computers for the stockmarket instead of using our STEM professionals for problems like climate change.

And how we need to really think about where our priorities are. And I felt that.

Graduating with my Engineering Degree, there was no where I could work that wasn’t with the military or maybe with (cringe) Google- who didn’t want black women at the time.

It was a great session. I’m def gonna keep an eye on her streams.
