Do they not make cars with Defrost buttons anymore?



YSK Dean has been the OG name trope for American bad boys since Kerouac hit the road in the 50s. Little known fact - the first Dean was named Neal IRL.
Bonus ancient Reddit thread:

Dear god, don’t post this on Reddit. People will die.
I prefer a more direct approach…

He still likes them. He just used to too.
Toad: “That’s ok Frog, you’re drinking my bathwater…”


Duke spilled the beans…

I’ve yet to visit a city more civil than a forest.


Ok, now I need to know how much weed I’d have to smoke to knock out a mosquito.
Don’t need to kill them, just keep em mellow enough to stop being bitey.


Texas is worse. If anyone finds out you’re trans there, your life is in danger - the cops will turn a blind eye to whatever JimBillyBob and his kin decide to do to you. The only place in Texas you might be able to live somewhat safely is Austin.
Plus, in Texas even the young people are fucking Boomers. Same entitlement, same attitudes, same fucking racism and hatred of anything different, same fucking Megachurch bullshit… it’s like the entire fucking state collectively decided that the 50s were the height of cultural development and has actively invested in generational stupidity ever since.
Don’t get me wrong, Florida is shit too, but it only recently turned to shit - pre-DeSantis it actually was worth visiting, and living in if you were near the beach (nothing like swimming in the east Atlantic down there).
But Texas has been working on being a shit state since before they joined the union - IMHO Florida has at least a couple of decades to go before it gets as absolutely idiotic as Texas.


Best - California. Even the worst parts of the state are better than most other places in America, and the best parts are literally world wonders (Yosemite, Redwoods, Sequoias, Death Valley, Joshua Tree). Pricey AF, but you get what you pay for, and it’s all here - mountains, deserts, ocean, lakes, Hollywood, Silicon Valley, big cities, little towns, pretty much any kind of life you could want, you can live it here if you’ve got the means to afford it.
Worst - Texas. It’s where the worst of America decided to throw an endless rodeo and most of their trash. Yeah, other states may be stupider, or more racist, or more desolate… but nobody nowhere is louder and prouder of being a drunken pain in the ass than a Texan. Florida man comes in a close second if he’s methed up enough, but Florida actually has cool shit like the Everglades and Miami and manatees and alligators.
Texas has Buc-ees and lot lizards.
Reminds me of an old joke…
Descartes goes down to a hot dog vendor.
“Gimme a hotdog.”
The hotdog vendor asks “you want mustard on that?”
“I think not,” says Descartes, vanishing instantly.

…and they’ve gone up dramatically this month. Remember Trump’s Mystery Meat?
The beef was tainted with the antibiotic chloramphenicol. This is why China rejected it back in March. Note that Argentina itself bans the use of chloramphenicol.
These are the side effects:
Serious and fatal blood dyscrasias (aplastic anemia, hypoplastic anemia, thrombocytopenia, and granulocytopenia) are known to occur after the administration of chloramphenicol.
There have been reports of aplastic anemia attributed to chloramphenicol which later terminated in leukemia.
Blood dyscrasias have occurred after both short-term and prolonged therapy with this drug.
In many cases, the mod team was selectively replaced after the story ran out of steam. A number of smaller communities did go dark and stayed dark, but Reddit forced the opening of several of the major ones.
There was a significant migration to lemmy, but many didn’t stay, and ended up back on Reddit. We’re in the middle of a 2nd surge with the removal of old.reddit.com from the public (not logged in) front-end, but it’s more of a steady stream as individual users get fed up, not the big wave that hit with the API announcement.
I think this time folks are going to stay. Reddit’s content quality and frequency of OC has plummeted, while it’s been steadily rising on the Fediverse. And the dialog here is vastly better.
That’s the real driver as to whether people stay on a social media site - the conversations with other users. Reddit has started to heavily censor and manipulate that conversation, and is dying as a result.
On the Fediverse, that conversation is alive and thriving. And as long as it is, this place will continue to grow.
Umm, no shit Sherlock? It’s literally in the picture I lifted from wikihow - just happened the rear one is circled.
Here, let me provide a version suitable for your comprehension level:
