      Yay for Marxist bullying! New rules fly in and change everything by ridicule and public shaming. Isn’t it wonderful?! Nobody can feel comfortable in their skin ... always having to gravel and make amends to the hidden overlords who set the narrative. Nobody can keep up as the new moral norms change so erratically and at such lightning speed. Everyone goes by the wayside at some point. Nothing is ever like it used to be. The people go along with the idea of a superior way of living snd thinking, but eventually long for the simpler, happier and more freely individualistic times; times where one wasn’t enslaved to the collective nature of a society built on cancellation and eradication of liberty.

      The persimmons we have in Arkansas are the best when they’ve fallen on the ground and shriveled up a little and turned somewhat dark. It becomes like pumpkin in texture and very sweet. I’ve never seen anybody eat a persimmon that was firm like they said. But what do I know. I don’t even wear shoes.

    What was so fun about the cast interactions was all of the in jokes. And the old cast were really good friends which worked super well on camera.
    I think this is just part of an awkward transitional time where the new cast need time to form bonds with the old cast. And I don't think the editors have quite captured the editing that we knew and loved. The edit makes things so... awkward at the moment. Moments of silence where all you can hear is the scraping of the pan. The editing was so tight with the older shows.
    Its always going to be awkward, because of the lingering knowledge of what happened to the old cast and why things changed. (Not to mention the horribly slow reaction by the BA higher ups) but give it a year or two and the videos will get better.
