Maybe this means we need more female detectives.

I've gotten LED bulbs at Goodwill for $1 for a 4-pack. I have those in my front and back porch lights which I keep on 24/7. I haven't had to replace them for years.

You may have an electrical issue that's causing them to burn out. Have you had an electrician test the wires?

Out of the frying pan, into the fire.

Singapore is known for it's low crime rate. Corporal punishment is widely accepted. Caning is used not only to punish criminals but also as a disciplinary measure in schools, the military, and domestically. You can find rattan canes for sale in the grocery store for about 50 cents.

It's always last minute.

Why would people want to buy light bulbs? Are they going to throw them at people?

Is your cat declawed? Sometimes cats that are declawed might not want to use the litter box. It's one of the problems with declawing.

Declawing cats is a horrible practice and should never be done.

I've never been to India. Unfortunately I've heard mostly negative things:

  • Rampant rape of women
  • Too much garbage
  • Smells bad
  • Treating anyone non-Indian badly or will try to take advantage of them financially
  • Overcrowded
  • Poverty
  • Low wages
  • Culture that puts down women / treats them much lower than men instead of being equal

The mention of "chads" in various comments makes me think of those articles about incels. Is that where you were going?

I'm new to Lemmy but it just feels more like Reddit in the sense that if you're not part of the "hive mind", then you're just told to "go away" instead of participating in actual discussion.

It's caused me to post less than when I initially joined. There's not as much activity on Lemmy than on the Reddit equivalent in the main "channel" I read. So I've found myself wandering back to Reddit but I don't post or comment much there either.

"I can’t tell you how many people were like, ‘Oh, look at all this supply, look at all these just brand new buildings,’ and kind of scoffing at it like this was going to lead to gentrification or rents skyrocketing,” said Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, a two-term Democrat, in an interview. “The exact opposite has happened.”

This is one of those "well duh" moments... Obviously more supply leads to lower prices. This is Economics 101!
