People will call the cops on clowns they spot on the street, and cops respond. I kid you not, at least in some places.

While there may be some truth in that, I don't think it's accurate to say it's always been there as such, in fact I believe it didn't really start in it's current form until 1971 or so, by design, although it existed before as it does elsewhere, that was the turning point, where big business huddled up and made a long game to seize power, project 2025 is just the recent iteration of that game plan, formed initially by the Business Roundtable.

The culture was fucked long before no child left behind to be fair. Anti intellectualism was rampant, since before most of us were born, gangster culture and drug prohibition and The Fear made a solid percent of the population criminals and authorized a police state.

City schools are better now than they were in the 80s and 90s, things got real bad in the crime waves.

Febrile huh? I have no idea wtf you are talking about. But the Satanic Panic started in CA in the 80s, along with a push to disempower judges for prosecutors, as prosecutors for both parties were seized by the aristocracy. They, along with a psychiatrist quack, took allegations of child rape from a crazy person, grabbed these little kids, like 6 years old or something, and browbeat them for days, weeks telling them they know they were abused, you are suprressing it, until they could get them to accuse their parents (some refused.)

It's a long story, but the practice was exported nationwide, and hundreds of false convictions for baby rape were had, which they expanded to include devil worship. All bad faith. They would do a raid and bring news cameras and props with them. Set up dildos and bdsm gear, satanic and torture stuff, then bring the news cameras in like they found it that way. Prosecutors' allegations would also just not be possible, claiming big satanic abuse parties in little houses that couldn't fit them, etc.

The cases fell apart in the 90s, with the kids denouncing the police and their false allegations. Even then prosecutors fought to keep them in prison. Some in the original places they started, bakersfield, the heart of darkness in the central valley, misfiling cases so do gooder lawyers couldn't challenge their convictions. Bakersfield is notorious for framing people for murder too by the way.

Now they sell the fake baby carrots for a lot more than the whole ones too.

Banana pudding is a better idea than mine, that actually isn't bad. I wonder dried banana powder could be useful too, for cooking and whatever.

Now with age controls identifying ever person on every account with everything they have ever said online. You know, for the kids...

While I am skeptical about these kind of allegations due to the satanic panic in the US in the 80s and 90s, with epstein it looks like it was all projection. It's always projection, all of it.

But what bears repeating, and acknowledging, is: 'Social media platforms and search engines appeared to remove or downrank posts, leading to speculation about deliberate censorship' as some people will take an article not being findable on search engines for it's lack of existence or lack of credibility.

What fucking world do they live in that google is the arbiter of knowledge and truth?

That would make everything a million times worse. There is no one that could invade the US, and if they tried the rally around the flag effect would start a world war, with nuclear weapons. What we have now is not that, yet.

Getting a little big for his britches. Finish your Iran before you have any cuba. He can't finish his Iran though, because he has Israel's dick in his mouth. Yuck.

They could at least sell it for livestock feed.

But there is a banana beer too, supposed to rather gross though, according to an old elmore leonard book anyway.

We are not all that enlightened of a society. Who cares what shape they are? It seems like they could find some other use for them still. Dry them even.

There are dozens or more banana variants as well, and we only have experience with 2 or 3 of them, plantains and bananas proper and the little mini ones sometimes. Same with other crops, and it leaves us reliant of chemicals to control pests with these monocultures, systematically poisoning ourselves and the land in the process.

I know it's a joke, but for the record, the Ottomans never conquered Iran despite being at war with them for like three centuries. Iran ended with some of mesopatamia, land to the Caucuses, while the ottomans established control of all of Asia Minor.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ottoman%E2%80%93Persian_Wars 'The Ottoman–Persian Wars also called the Ottoman–Iranian Wars were a series of wars between the Ottoman Empire and the Safavid, Afsharid, Zand, and Qajar states of Iran (Persia) through the 16th–19th centuries. The Ottomans consolidated their control of what is today Turkey in the 15th century, and gradually came into conflict with the emerging neighboring Iranian state, led by Ismail I of the Safavid dynasty. The two states were arch rivals, and were also divided by religious grounds, the Ottomans being staunchly Sunni and the Safavids being Shia. A series of military conflicts ensued for centuries during which the two empires competed for control over eastern Anatolia, the Caucasus, and Ottoman Iraq. '
