Joke's on you fat ass, that's actually one of my favorite of the "easily available" mustards. I'm eating the whole bag then hacking into the office Flock cameras to find out who brought them in so I can figure out where they bought them or how they made them. That way, I buy more or figure out a stealthy way of getting you to give me the recipe without admitting that I'm the one who took the first batch.

    And honestly, at this point if you go to a local Democratic party meeting, see a bunch of protesters on the side of the road, or meet with the local liberal or progressive organization's members -- the majority of the most active members will be boomers in a huge portion of the country. Outside of the cities and/or the odd left-leaning rural area, young people don't seem to get involved.

    So, to blame the problems on just that generation but also all of that generation is just wrong.

    The controls are the biggest obstacles for me, and it's not really even about ADHD to be honest.

    Virtually every single modern game insists that it must use every single available button on the controller for vital operations. Most of the time it strikes me as completely unnecessary to be that way.

    And even games that are of the exact same sub-sub-sub-genre where it should all be pretty standardized (the gameplay itself certainly is) decide to have completely different controls.

    If I can't finish a game in the 2 - 3 winter months of "down time" I have, during which time I might get 4 - 6 hours of week to play, then I usually won't even bother. Because if I don't finish it then, it means 6 - 8 months later when I get another chance to pick it up again, I will have forgotten how to play.

    How come clicking doesn't do anything? Or is that the point? Just to see how long (or how many clicks) it takes before you realize that nothing is interactive and you're just looking at a static image?

    And that's the point!

    Pretty much no viable Republican would say such a thing. They'll do 10,000 things that make it clear they've abandoned blue-collar / working class people. They'll support 1,000,000 more things that make it clear they've abandoned blue-collar / working class people. But they would never actually say they abandoned (or are ready to abandon) blue-collar / working class people.

    So, Republican/MAGA managed to take near total control of the 3 branches of the USA's federal government, a huge portion of state governments, and an enormous amount of local governments without even having to really try. Because "the other side" is more than happy to abandon the folks who voted for it.

    So? The messaging is easy to reverse.

    Republicans want to increase rent prices. Higher credit card interest. More expensive childcare costs. Higher prescription drug prices. Florida can't afford Republicans' economic policies.

    It's literally the same game that conservatives pull whenever "the radical woke left" opposes tax caps (which don't actually lower taxes) and it has a very high rate of success with unaffiliated voters.

    Realistically though, that kind of messaging "Far-Left Democrat" in this kind of environment, where Republicans have destroyed the state and federal economies for working class people, isn't intended to make people vote Republican. It's intended to make people not want to vote at all because "both sides are bad".
