      Yeah for sure, there are cases or dialects where people sub the past tense in for the PP (eg “I don’t want any of your old broke shit.”) But even in those dialects I’d guess the PP is standard more often than not-- I don’t think too many people would accept a “stole car” over a stolen one, or a “blew fuse” instead of blown.

        true, but i don’t think it’s that far off, especially “a stole car” teeters right on the edge of being perfectly fine to my brain in the right social context. Seems very similar to how people having started saying “it’s giving X” rather than “It’s giving X vibes”
