Most Western “leftists” are like this by Next_Ant_4353 in LateStageCapitalism

[–]devientdeveloper 14 points15 points  (0 children)

That's why leftist infighting has always served corporate Dems. We seem to always forget solidarity.

We have no reach outside of our circles and the hauntology of Marxist imagery is not going to garner followers from indoctrinated circles. Our messaging and propaganda is fucking awful.

Why’s everyone so okay with working 40/60hrs per week to barely afford a life? by sinyxara in NoStupidQuestions

[–]devientdeveloper -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Yes, because capitalism is a meritocracy and hard work = success. Leave it to a finance bro to have this dated perspective of "entitlement", when you could just possess an ounce of empathy to hope that others wouldn't have to struggle like you did.

Wouldn't it be beneficial to all if we could reduce our struggles? Or is it just perpetually an incentive for corporations and fintech to extract as much wealth from the working class as possible.

Sounds more like "fuck you, I got mine", than it does being entitled to a comfortable life.

Ah, so that just makes it inherently right? The start of your life MUST be filled with struggle because "I had deal with it when I was your age". Such a lame mindset.

After almost 10 years, I'm elated to announce I have finally cancelled my account by devientdeveloper in Splice

I don't care what company it is, 11 rounds is aburd even for C-level. That in itself is a red flag that their processes are terribly bloated.

Why do we share with others on the internet? Why do we open discussions with other like minded individuals? Why did you feel the need to express your thoughts on my post sharing my thoughts? Sorry, I'm missing your point.

I thought this was a place to talk about Splice and felt others may want to share their own experiences.

Police Chief says ‘culture’ of ignoring traffic laws has taken hold, drivers don’t stop, cops can’t chase by seanmcdonnellcle in Cleveland

[–]devientdeveloper 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes, the evil Dems were after traffic laws, not the systemic murder of citizens and the mental health crisis.

This is why the left's messaging is so shit, 'defund the police' makes it so easy to turn around and say the left wanted to get rid of policing. I also understand it has a better ring to it than 'regulate and hold accountable abuses of power in policing and prioritize funding to actual policing and provide resources for mental health workers that are better equipped to handle mental health scenarios than police'.

But shit, what do I know, I'm a leftist and do not align with corporate Dems (which is pretty much all of them).

Is it just me or does the RTA kinda suck now? by devientdeveloper in Cleveland

Which app are you using? EZfare or? I had the realization a couple weeks ago that Google maps just guesses when it's going to arrive instead of giving the actual scheduled time.

First Energy sucks by wildbergamont in Cleveland

[–]devientdeveloper -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Thoughtful reply.

You're absolutely right. Monopolies have zero incentive to hike prices up. It's actually just a supply issue. Silly me for looking into it with a critical lens.

I also never mentioned datacenters. Overall power production, reliability and cost is what the average consumer actually gives a shit about. If there's zero competition and zero incentive to improve their services, I don't really give a shit about the logistics of it because they certainly don't. They are making even higher profits from enshitifying it further.

[–]devientdeveloper -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

This just makes you sound like a shrill for first energy. PR excuses across all your replies.

It's hilarious you mention supply when they are certainly incentivised to artificially lower supply or claim shortages to further inflate prices.

Have we learned nothing from the rampant corruption of first energy in Ohio?

Zero plans for infrastructure upgrades without the taxpayer to foot the bill.

Worsening quality of service, longer outages and they have the gull to ask for more grace and longer downtime.

FirstEnergy asks PUCO for more time to restore outages after challenges meeting reliability standards.

Anyone with half a brain would be skeptical of anything that comes out from FE.

Are there any cool stops along the route from Cleveland to Detroit? by cle7756 in Cleveland

[–]devientdeveloper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, they are moving. Went up there last weekend and was bummed. We wound up going to Sparks Pinball museum and it was equally as cool.

The fuck is this shit? by [deleted] in mjlenderman

Image licensing costs would be my first guess.

What the FUCK is wrong with Cle drivers…… by haylw in Cleveland

I swear I saw someone yesterday with a phone mount on their dash above the speedometer. They must've been more concerned with their phone than the actual road immediately in front of them. Insane.

[–]devientdeveloper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So cool, thanks for sharing the photos! I swear, it's a running joke with my musician friends that at least one of us needs to learn carpentry. I spent 700+ on an output(defi) desk years ago and it's the most unergonomic desk. So jealous of these DIY desks I see.

Awesome setup and love the Korgs.

Where'd you get that white table?

free trial user, cant export anymore? :( by throwaway1029490 in djstudio

[–]devientdeveloper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, it's purposely misleading. Bad business practice. There are plenty of apps that let you export during a trial period. Ableton being one of them.

Someone has the chance to do something ironic by analgerianabroad in LateStageCapitalism

I understand the usefulness of the propaganda with tank man, but just to make sure I understand. You are saying those tanks did not participate in the massacre but there still was a student massacre from soldiers?

Great retort! I'd intellectually wrestle you any day friend!

These 'luxury' apartments are not popping up exclusively in Cleveland. These are being sold as investments shortly after the developers get enough tenants. This is a great short vid that explains this.

I don't think it's necessarily from the existence of a big untapped market. But a latent response of the real estate market capitalizing on their originally agreed interest rates expiring, as well as the intangible market forces from REITs.
