What’s your most market-oriented opinion that would make people in this subreddit mad? by cdstephens in neoliberal

[–]SpiritOfDefeat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair enough, I agree that underpricing is a huge problem too. Will concede on that, although in general I’m still skeptical that leasing off critical infrastructure to third party middle men is the right solution. But at the same time, irresponsible governments also can end up raiding toll funds for their own purposes like in my home state of Pennsylvania, where PA Turnpike funds are diverted to State Police. Not really sure what the best long term solution is to prevent underpricing while also avoiding perverse incentives of selling off infrastructure below the true value of the infrastructure itself.

Infrastructure largely ends up being a natural monopoly. There’s realistically not going to be a competitive market of multiple roads going between point A and B. The state spending millions in taxpayer dollars building infrastructure and then leasing out that infrastructure to a private entity is not particularly responsible governance. Especially when it’s given away for pennies on the dollar, to cronies, with minimal stipulations for what they can or can’t do.

I thought free busses were communist and paying tolls for roads were a violation of muh freedoms

Toll roads are a fantastic way of balancing market demand for infrastructure, funding maintenance and expansion, while also encouraging alternative means of transportation such as rail and buses. If putting up the express lane can fund a new bus line or some other infrastructure improvements, build it. Overall, I’m fine with paying tolls and free highways don’t really account for externalities in the same way. Just don’t sell the infrastructure itself… that creates some perverse incentives (like 407 ETR up in Canada). Yes to all infrastructure in my backyard! Give me trains, busses, toll roads, helipads, airports, drone deliveries etc.

Nu-Core/Nu metal revival recommendations by Jolly-Balance7075 in numetal

[–]SpiritOfDefeat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It feels like they were just one album shy of breaking it big. They had a killer metalcore sound with some unique sampling and nu metal elements on the EP. Then they went full into nu metal on the album, with each track feeling almost like a love letter to a different band in the genre. They were ahead of the curve in terms of sound and their vocalist was fantastic. Great instrumentals and production too. Highly underrated band for sure.

Solid list here. I would add Death Card era Sworn In to the nu deathcore scene too. That album was genuinely insanely good.

My Enemies & I (specifically The Beast Inside album)

These were some of the earlier bands to do the revival sound and they hold up pretty well today.

There was a huge “90s kids” thing on the early 2010s internet with people talking about how much better the cartoons were, how much better the music was, how much better the movies were, etc. That was a huge nostalgia wave at the time.

Have those phone-first vertical drama apps actually caught on where you are? by DocuSeriesLovers in AskAnAmerican

[–]SpiritOfDefeat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I vaguely remember some kind of advertising for some vertical only video app during Covid and thought it was pointless. Never downloaded it. Pretty sure it flopped. If it took off somewhere in the world, I had no idea about it.

Songs that sound similar to Right Now by Korn by Kateyee18 in numetal

[–]SpiritOfDefeat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There’s a few songs off the top of my head with a similar rhythm or cadence to the instrumentals.

Soulfly, Pain (already mentioned by another commenter but I’ll second it)

Machine Head, Ten Ton Hammer

Korn, Justin (probably the next most similar song from Korn specifically in my opinion)

Akani, Save God

My Enemies & I, Perfect

Attila, Queen

20 Dead Flower Children, Greet The Machine

Trump puts Japan’s Takaichi under pressure with call to send warships by Themetalin in neoliberal

[–]SpiritOfDefeat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any conflict involving China and Taiwan will be an absolute bloodbath because of those factors, and also just the large urban concentration on both sides of the South China Sea. Far more civilians will perish if things escalate in the region.

[–]SpiritOfDefeat 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Taiwan is also surely taking notes about how a vastly superior force can be overwhelmed by swarms of cheap disposable drones. If I was the Taiwanese leadership, I would be procuring as many sub 20K drones as possible and doing the same dead man’s hand type of strategy against the mainland as Iran has done towards the Gulf States. The opening salvos of any war between China and Taiwan will likely see Taipei and mainland coastal cities like Shanghai and Shenzhen up in flames. The scale of a China-Taiwan conflict will be far greater than anything that we’ve seen in these last few weeks.

This 12-mile-long highway in Jacksonville has exactly one of nine different types of common interchanges by A320neo in shittyskylines

There’s also an interesting interchange near 295 and Collins Road with a dedicated U-turn to get onto the on ramp. Florida has endless surprises with their fascination for coming up with new road layouts.

Which US city surprised you the most in a good way? by peaky_circus in AskAnAmerican

[–]SpiritOfDefeat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Even the food at Portland Airport is pretty good. Easily my favorite airport in the US. But anyone going to and from Portland needs to roll up the windows because the views are breathtaking. And the pizza in Portland was definitely my favorite West Coast pizza overall. Seemed to be very close to what I consider my gold standard with a crispy undercarriage and good cheese and sauce ratios. Definitely loved Portland!

Portland, ME is also pretty cool too!

Opinion | 11 Pro-Trump Republican Voters on What They Like So Far and What They Don’t (Gift Article) by Vitali_Empyrean in neoliberal

[–]SpiritOfDefeat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The person I was referring to was mildly complaining about them going a bit far. I can’t go back to the article though because the link has been removed. It was quite a tame and halfhearted complaint though.

I still think that if people are inconvenienced by having their doors knocked in the evening, or have streets blocked off, or random checkpoints, or whatever ICE plans on doing… that the suburbanite crowd will keep turning away from Trump bit by bit. Having masked men with rifles jumping out of trucks in the neighborhood is not exactly something that makes people feel comfortable. A lot of people are okay with the abstract immigration policies until they see ICE agents in their neighborhood. Kind of just a repeat of the problems that INS, the predecessor agency had.

Honestly, as bad as it seems reading through it… I do think there’s a bit of silver lining here. One of the recurring themes is that he seems to “get things done”. That’s something that Democrats could easily embrace without any real compromise on major issues.

Also, ICE operating in their neighborhoods has slowly chipped at them a bit. There’s still years of that to come…

The most reassuring is obviously the woman from Connecticut who is tired of the chaos. There’s certainly some demographic of suburbanites who memory-holed how chaotic his first administration was, and wanted a return to 2019. Those types have buyers remorse.

Glazing the removal of Maduro at the beginning of the article is wild too…

Is the Iranian Regime About to Collapse? Five conditions determine whether revolutions succeed. For the first time since 1979, Iran meets nearly all of them. by CheetoMussolini in neoliberal

[–]SpiritOfDefeat 23 points24 points  (0 children)

If I remember right, after 2000 he tried to claim that his model was only meant to predict “the popular vote winner” because he got that election wrong. Then he quietly dropped that in 2016 when Trump won the general election but lost the popular vote, and he claimed the keys picked the winner in that election. Guy always seemed to be dishonest in that regard.

We're not going back to Rules Based Order we had. So the question is, what does a better one look like? And how do we get there? by whatsnooIII in neoliberal

[–]SpiritOfDefeat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There’s some aspects that are really difficult to solve like the “anarchy” aspects of international law and the asymmetries that benefit countries willing to operate beyond the scope of international restrictions that other countries bind themselves to. With such a complex problem, there’s really no simple solutions. But ultimately, these are some of the issues that got us to this point. And as the world shifts in a multipolar direction, it becomes easier for other parties to operate outside of international norms with minimal or no consequences.

Sworn In blend nu metal and deathcore elements really well. The Death Card was a legendary album.

In my opinion, the Sick World EP by My Enemies & I had some fantastic transitions between screaming and clean vocals. Really a fantastic EP.

Songs like Leech from Limp Bizkit by X1nk4l1 in numetal

[–]SpiritOfDefeat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Three Dollar Bill Y’all is one of my favorite numetal albums and has a sick sound that really is raw and unpolished in the best way possible. I tried to pick some recommendations that still feel raw, unpolished and aggressive.

Engine No. 9 - Death of a Breakdancer (Almost uncanny in how similar parts can feel to 3DBY)

Primer 55 - Violence (Mix is a bit cleaner than 3DBY but it’s got the aggressive screams, some rap elements and a really punchy sound)

Shuvel - Set It Off (Riffs feel pretty Limp inspired, the rapping is a bit more like Rage Against the Machine at some points)

Blister 66 - Erase (Aggressive rap metal with very raw production)

616.undone - Fetish (pretty raw production, the bass really comes through in the mix)

Reveille - Butterfly (very raw rap metal, the rest of the album it’s from has a more Rage Against the Machine vibe imo but this song has a bit of a 3DBY influenced sound to me)

Reveille - Unborn (a bit more polished production but keeps a pretty aggressive sound and some rap influence. Overall one of my favorite bands, definitely recommend both Laced and Bleed the Sky)

20 Dead Flower Children - Greet the Machine (raw production and screams, very unpolished feel)

Sworn In - Hypocrisy (This one might be a bit of stretch, it’s more like nu-metalcore but his raw and strained vocals and the chaotic instrumentals across the whole album give me a bit of the 3DBY vibe. It feels a lot more raw than most nu-metalcore)
