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?

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.

He doesn't care.

Trump rambles, slurs h is way through Elon Musk interview. It was an unmitigated disaster.

Trump gets to do anything he wants; Musk wants the same treatment.

He's an idiot.

This action makes a good headline for re-election purposes.

It's always last minute.

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

Moms for Liberty has attracted condemnation for their promotion of anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric, opposition to race-focused history lessons and calls to ban books they deem inappropriate for children.

"Liberty" is misleading. They don't want freedom, they want oppression.

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

At this point, presently? People acting like they are experts on Marxism without ever delving into Marxist theory

There's no leader. Most people are followers.

I keep hoping that everything is exaggerated and it won't be that bad. That he'll be out in 4 years and not become a dictator with no more term limits.

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.

There's LASIK. It's been around since 1989. The downside is that the procedure only lasts about 15 years from what I've seen -- people who got it have to start wearing glasses again after that time.

Out of the frying pan, into the fire.

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

buying a house is simply out of reach unless you have dual income

Not in all areas of the United States. Houses routinely sell for under $200k in my city. There's also many for under $100k.

It doesn't make money to produce a product that kills your customer base quickly. Killing them slowly is what the cigarette industry does. Get the customer to purchase over and over again.
