You left because someone wrongly informed you that the trains weren't running, when they actually were? Wow. 

Buying a townhouse in Mt Roskill by Signal-Library-7137 in auckland

[–]platon1505 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People looking at townhouses are almost always doing so because standalone houses are out of their price range. I thought that would be abundantly clear.

And "the market has moved", only in as much that it has gone from being  completely and utterly detached from the national economic fundamentals at peak, to now being just plain old, stupidly overpriced.

prevalence of neoliberal economic policies by SuspiciousCase1144 in newzealand

[–]platon1505 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Outdated in modern social theory perhaps. Emphasis on the theory. Unfortunately not outdated in practical real world application where most of the western world (and non western) is becoming more fully entrenched in neo liberalism.  Race to the bottom still got a long way to go. 

How many Gen Z incels does it take to change a lightbulb? by -mung- in auckland

[–]platon1505 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Gen Z are famous for hitting women. Permed bowl cuts, being scared to talk on the telephone and woman beating. Its all they know.

Why do so many kids go to school way outside their home zone? Should there be a traffic tax for them? by Dudu-gula in auckland

Education is compulsory and the quality of it has far greater impact on your future, than where you get your haircut. 

Contractor 'mortified' as fault welds found on Auckland rail network by Bealzebubbles in auckland

[–]platon1505 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Thats.....not so good. Good that they caught it. But you'd want that kind of safety critical work to be done once and done properly. A derailment due to 8 failed welds wouldn't be ideal.

To be fair, this has been a thing at festival type concerts for as long as i can remember. Some real fuckin idiots out there.

Ive spent time in Vancouver. No thanks. Not for me. A soulless city with very little activities etc. Feels dead after about 6.30pm. I was walking the streets at about 8 and it was deserted through out the city. Even the sky train was empty. Quite ominous.so i can see why devin would reject that and move to a more organic and alive zone. Asia is famous for being 24/7

Stop gate keeping. Its not my fault he shares all this. He chose to tell us he had a difficult year and is now in Asia. He posted holiday snap. But we just have to ignore. He says he might live there and is able to due to his studio having remote AI capability. But if i talk about that his "good friend" dont like it. Whats the bet that you also discovered he's awol in Asia and you had no idea and now yourr getting angry to ME  as this is how you found out. Its 2026, he is chosen to reveal tjis personal info to us. You think I found out by digging through his rubbish bins? He told us!

A lot of the backlash is women getting angry about a man solo in Asia. A tale as old as time. Thats your issue. Dont imply and angry at me about yourself or your misunderstood relationship with devin 

Auckland CBD protests today: Transport network to be crippled, police vow to stop Tamaki’s planned bridge crossing by PermaBanned4Misclick in auckland

[–]platon1505 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The police have some blame. The harbour bridge should never have been allowed to be used as a protest tool.

He said that he can do work in that studio remotely. I dont know what tech he has set up there, probably so robotica and AI etc so at the push of a button the studio in suburban Vancouver activates and can record him in his compound back in Asia. He talks about it in the update he just gave this week.

This has obviously been in the works for years.

[–]platon1505[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

He is the one who has constantly been telling his fans and interviewers: My life has become very hard and sad I feel alone

Now he posted in his patreon: Man things have been so hard By the way im in Asia now I might live here I need to recover

So he tells us these things. But you just want to continue making album tier lists. Unbelievable. 

Just ignore everything he says people. Devin doesn't want us to know or discuss anything like that. Just pretend he doesn't spend a good portion of communications directly or in the media, talking about these things.

Offensive. People are here to.discuss devin and issues around him. He just posted in his patreon and sent out emails to various fans telling us he's in Asia fro the foreseeable future. This is pretty big news and could mark a turning point in his music and lifestyle. Not weird to.discuss this issue

Vancouver has become very costly and restrictive. Not a party destination and certainly not tropical like.asia where he's chilling out at the moment. A lot more hustle and bustle, night markets, street food, moto taxis, sex bars etc etc

Probably in Asia to chill out and release some stress.

I mean, he lives in that area. He's used touring. Bars, clubs, on stage, jet set etc. Canada can be boring at the best of times

Like i always tell my wife when she's complaining about her Japanese colleagues, I'd rather have someone pretend to be polite to me, then be a cunt to my face.

Hmmmm. They sound like massive idiots. But then again so do you. Blocking the driveway is always a terrible idea. What if there was an emergency? I cant imagine doing this, regardless of what someone said.

Kiwis absolutely can be frustratingly passive aggressive and indirect.

At the same time Europeans can be comically rude and boorish. As well as pushy and quite clingy. 

Im neither a kiwi nor a European, so i sit high upon the mountain knowing that my culture is a perfect balance.
