Non-religious Republicans of Lemmy, how do you reconcile your non-religious convictions with a party that bases a lot of its policies on religion?

I’m not an expert by any means, but I want to say that something similar happened in Australia. Basically, they gave everyone the deal of, say, $500 per gun if turned in voluntarily, or seizure and no money if found. Then they simply restricted ammo sales and eventually the problem fixed itself. (Source: my ass)

One thing that I’ve noticed as someone trying to wean myself off of Reddit: Lemmy just feels more chill. Like no I don’t have to open it every few minutes and doomscroll, it’s going to be a lot slower coming than the firehouse that is Reddit.

Tbf I don’t think that’s a design as much as it is just smaller, but it still feels nice.

REQUEST: A wiki on open source furniture

Reply in thread

It wasn’t opendesk unfortunately. I saw it maybe a year ago and I just remembered it recently.

I think it was run by a nonprofit (or maybe it was some kind of company, idk) that I think both did planning for communities officially and provided the resources to do it on your own. Their wiki had multiple different sections, such as furniture, bus stops, beergardens, farmers markets, and more.

I want to say it got started in Portland but that could be a fever dream :/

2002 Tundra here. It is definitely the perfect size for a truck. However, now that it’s pretty old and beat up, and I’ve moved into a denser city, I think it’s getting time for something new :(

different workout routines/splits

My current split is an arms day 2x a week and a body/legs day 2x a week.

For arms I'm doing a mix of: pullups, crunches, inclined dumbbell, reverse pulley curl, lateral raises, reverse tricep cable pull, and rows. I do maybe 5-6 of these exercises each session. For body/legs I'm doing: benchpress, deadlift, squat, military press. For everything right now I'm shooting for 5x5. I'm still new to working out, only since January, but I'm mainly trying to grow arms (primarily biceps and shoulders) and all of my body/legs. Does anyone have any suggestions about what to do or change?

I had forgotten how great it is to see the number of downvotes

Reply in thread

Yeah, I'm definitely on the fence about it. I agree about the bad faith participation with downvote brigading, but I also feel that having downvotes is, overall, a good way to gauge community agreement.

I think what I would like the most is a visible upvote/downvote percentage ratio. That way you could see not only the net upvotes - downvotes like on reddit, but the actual participation by the community.
