He'll be able to work some sort of grift off of it for sure but I feel like this definitely gives some Republicans an "out."

Now they just have to take it.

I've shucked probably 100s of those WD essentials and they just had a little SATA -> USB adapter on it. It's been a few years but it doesn't seem like they'd make a whole new PCB just to include USB.

What about the animated spinoff about the 3rd backup targeting officer on a non-capital Empire refueling ship?

Yeah a lot of us stopped caring a long time ago. The market has been saturated with Star Wars.

It's cute of you to step in to defend your alt account, but you can't be serious.

They're an accelerationist, for whatever reason, they want collapse. The quicker it happens the better, they admitted as much above.

You're supposing that Trump is the candidate to do that, I think most of lemmy would agree with you so I'll cede that point.

That point ceded, we can agree most of lemmy won't vote for Trump right? So what would be the point of talking about voting Trump here? It's far more effective for the accelerationist (who likely isn't conservative anyway) to be a "leftist" who's so disgusted with how corrupt and unfair the system is they simply just check out and encourage others to check out as well, "both sides are the same" of course.

So we're just making things up whole cloth about people now?

We're inferring things, it's quite a bit different comrade.

You need to go take a civics class and stop trying to suppress the leftwing vote. Do you expect anyone to sit down and explain to you how campaigning for issues works? Do you expect us to list every decent win "the left" has gotten the last 5-10 years?

What have you gotten accomplished? What have you even participated in?

Just because you sit in a basement unplugged from reality, doomscrolling, doesn't mean the rest of should sit here and take advice from you. You admit you just want fascism faster.

Bad-faith, accelerationist, useful idiot. If it weren't so cliche I'd call you Vlad.

  1. Not necessarily.

  2. Who says they aren't?

You're just an accelerationist. Fatalism, nihilism, apathy, hopeless, etc aren't anything new, most of us disagree with you. I wonder if your outlook would improve if you got therapy or if you had a little skin in the game and stood to lose something.

Red Lobster has been going downhill for decades. It's probably better to put it out of its misery than let it limp along for 20 more years.

I don't see any "corporate theft" here at all. It's not like a mom & pop was bought and then closed. It's just another shitty corporate owned business unable to operate as if it's still 1970 closing their doors. Nothing of value was lost.
