idk about you, a massive chunk of corporate employees are immigrants and only came here cus they were either suckered into being here and trafficked, or trynna get away from cartels or war. if we deported all of them at once, the nation would quite literally, blow up.
Say goodbye getting your roofs fixed, or your house cleaned, or your lawn mowed, or your house painted, or your
dude they fucking do 90% of all the dirty work in this country, Lets maybe NOT deport what is the backbone of this country and instead get them some rights so corporations can stop being sleezy pieces of shit and underpaying people.
UNDERTALE???!?!?!??11
Should I or should I not use/bother with using Linux? (READ THE WHOLE POST)
I'm a 20yo, Hella Autistic, ADHD-riddled spaz that likes to tinker with programs and software settings alot. I'm building a pc for the first time right now, and while I am tech savvy; or more tech savvy than most; coding, programming, tech engineering is complete and utter gibberish, and it seems like the only people that use Linux are HEAVILY experienced with those things I just listed... HOWEVER... I'm not. I just like digging around various program settings or messing with things, or personalizing them as much as I can.
The more I delve into tech or tech related spaces; whether its through building my pc or just- using this website; the more people wont stop yapping about "OOH LINUX, I LOOOVE LINUX." and every time I ask about it and why I should use it, they make it out like its an absolute godsend piece of technology (im sure it is tbh... it does look nice)
But then looking into it myself, all I see is a bunch of technical word vomit that makes no god damn sense to me. and the more I ask for people to explain this to me, the worse my confusion becomes. now I'm learning there's like 40 different "Distro's"... Someone else told me about Linux Mint, which looks nice, but again- I DO NOT want to be forced to use a terminal just to get the most outta my operating system. I like having some kind of UI to use.
idk man... from everything they say I can do with it, ESPECIALLY in terms of customization, I'm so tempted to use it. But my mental understanding of whatever tf Linux is, is at best a toddler's.
quality search results with a layout that is similar enough to google's layout
ok- how tf do I set this as my default browser and also sign into it... its a bit confusing to figure out??
eh.. true- but i was meaning something like having to pay to use Chrome or somethin. I tried kagi and it is really good but like- aaaaaaaaaaaaghjdsafklc;g ufn i have so many subscriptions, im scared im gonna spend too much with everything I got. idk :(( I'll keep looking, but push comes to shove, i think im fr just gonna have to buy it :depression:
Why does everything gotta be subscription based tho!
I just dont really wanna buy into that kinda stuff, even if it is good. Soon my ability to use the internet (not wifi) is gonna be subscription based :(
oh- yea i shoulda said read the last part of my name XD
the fuck i get downvoted for- damn, lemme enjoy my men >:(

how do i embed this right...
yur welcome :3
HONESTLY.... not a bad idea ffs. Its like taking away the cookie jar when a kid gets too greedy. "You'll get the money back when you stop buying useless shit with it"
eyup.
usually people who are offended by what I say or do are white. I dont really know why I asked this question knowing how sensitive some people can be.
Context: I make a lotta slave/black stereotype jokes towards myself, I remember a friend of mine showing me this picture of a baby monkey and my immediate response was "Damn how'd you get ahold of my baby pictures??" It was funny asf to most, but one person was like "UHH UHH I DUNNO IF IM ALLOWED TO LAUGH AT THAT- UHHHH"
ima just do my thing anyways lmao. especially cus the people who do got Vitiligo have commented here saying the dont gaf and that its cool. B )
im taking the steps to make itt a reality, its gunna be lit B )
i think most people aint even gonna know who i am- Creepypasta fell out of relevancy :(((
On the top is Fanon JTK and the bottom is a more lore accurate version of him.
Every character in the creepypasta fandom so far is paper white, and if they arent white then their some inhuman color or a beast... For years, the fandom has always been dominated by WHITE people :p. so all of the characters are white or European in some way
In his origin story, we was caught in a fight with one of his bullies when the bully has splashed jeff's face with bleach before lighting him on fire. After healing up and taking off the bandages, dude went nuts about how "beautiful" he was, before cutting off his eyelids so he wouldnt sleep and slicing a smile into his face. After that, he killed his family and did some other spooky shit ig.
The vitiligo makeup is a design choice that I MADE. I wanted him to have an afro-centric look to him. to replace the scene hairstyle with large, matted dreads, and to add white splotches or scars to his skin. It was after the accident that the dude snapped due to his face no longer looking like his face. thats why I wanted to add areas of white scare tissue or vitiligo to his skin. I'm not doing it just cause, I'm doing it cus im black, and being able to put my own afro-centric spin on things, on a fandom that I like thats only really been dominated by white characters, is cool as shit to me. The vitiligo appearance is just another Black design choice I made cus its cool asf, it's accurate to how dark skin can react from certain injuries, and just an overall look that is unique to version of Jeff the Killer. In my mind, if I was him and was burned the same way he was; my black skin was now covered with various A-symmetrical, leathery white splotches; yea I'd prolly go crazy too. This is how I interoperated my race-swapped version of em
THIS- FUCKING- FINALLY GOOD LORD.
I really dunno why I asked cus like- 9/10 the people saying "ouuh uhmm, that could really hurt someone feelings" or that it'd hurt their feelings are either white or don't have vitiligo. This question woulda been better if I'd ask about it in a black community but there's not a lot of active ones here on lemmy it seems like? idk
Is it okay to fake Vitiligo makeup for a cosplay??
Ok, please don't kill me for asking this...
I'm black, and I wanna do an Afrocentric cosplay of Jeff, the Killer. I'm planning on getting dreads or braids for it, but I also thought about maybe doing some Vitiligo-type makeup for it. but idk if that's okay to do or if that's offensive.
I don't have vitiligo, I never did. The reason I ask if it's okay to imitate this is because Jeff the Killer is canonically a burn victim due to either fire or chemicals. Sometimes, if you have dark skin and get burned like that, you'll have white patches left behind once the skin heals which look a lot like Vitiligo. I'm unsure of what lines can and cannot be crossed when it comes to doing theatrical/character makeup other than "don't do blackface"
Im autistic, so if some of the stuff i say is offensive just be aware that wasn't my intention, thanks!
Whats the best search engine that looks similar to google
Im getting so sick and tired of Google rn. Reddit has become a better place to search for questions than Google has. I need a new search engine :(
No, I don't want Kagi either, I dont wanna to pay a subscription for a search engine just to get what I want. I tried all the others, Ecosia, Duckduckgo, etc... But they usually fall flat cus they just don't have some of the quirks that Google has that I like, specifically when it comes to image search.
I want a browser I can easily adjust to, which is why I want it to function/look like google. Yes, I did try searching for it, but I'm not getting anything reliable (how typical)
Also, if anyone can recommend me a browser better than Opera GX that's JUST as customizable as GX is, that'd be great too.
*Please don't bully me over using GX. Everyone keeps yapping about it being Chinese Spyware or something or other, but the level of customization I can do with it is a total godsend. I don't know any other browsers that let me have interactive wallpapers or keyboard sounds, let alone the silly screen filters! I like having complete personalization over my stuff, its fun for me.
What are the best brand/types of edibles that I can get that make you want to draw/do art?
I was just wondering what the vest edibles are for motivation/creativity. Im trying to get back into drawing, Sometimes I snag a gummy that just gets me drawing for a while, but its a 1/50 chance. I really want a pack of em so that motivation is constant.
EDIT: DO NOT SUGGEST ANYTHING ELSE EXCEPT MARIJUANA EDIBLES.
I have ADHD, so motivation is something I mentally lack. Do not tell me to make my own weed, and please don't suggest anything horrendously strong. Im not a pot head, I have a weak tolerance and I refuse to push that tolerance. Thanks.
Why does Toxoplasmosis Gondii bother infecting humans? What is its endgame with people?
I'm researching all of this, and it seems cats are the main(?) host for T. gondii. And yet it can infect humans as well. As far as I know, it does (sometimes) virtually nothing except either maybe give you schizophrenia or make you a "Risk-taking Asshole" for lack of a better term. What is even the purpose of doing this to infected humans??? WHY??? What kind of parasite infects a human with the only real side effect of "I'm just gonna make you gamble a lot and give you road rage."
Obviously there's other, more serious side effects. But I truly don't understand what its goals are once it comes into contact with humans. Are we just another body to them? A scenario of "Oh well im in this human now so... Guess I better get comfy or whatever."
Keep in mind I'm aware the Parasite isn't like a person, it doesn't just "do stuff" the way we humans do. It can't really think. My confusion stems from why it even bothers evolving just enough to be able to infect humans in the first place. Why doesn't it just stick with cats? And when it does infect humans, why does it just- not do anything half the time? It's like it only infects people Internally just to mildly inconvenience them.
Do flies hate/dislike Yellow Watermelon?
I've noticed something interesting that I cant get an answer to online. Whenever I leave out watermelon in my house (After eating it of course. I cut slices from the melon so what gets left behind is the rind), it attracts lots of gnats and flies without failure. After cutting and eating a Yellow Watermelon for the first time and then leaving it out, There wasn't a single fly that cared for it, it was never swarmed or landed on or fed upon. it just sat there for a day or so before I finally threw it out.
Why is this?? Repeating this same scenario always gives me the same output. The flies aren't attracted to the Yellow Melon, Why?
Okay... Maybe I should delete my account from this stupid ass website. Who the hell spams people's emails with this?
I write this with sadness knowing Alex Risen, Predator Poachers, Is a piece of shit racist asshole with no real morals and is using the "Ima pedo hunter" as a reason to just spew stupid shit no one cares about. I genuinely did not know this when I first got into his channel, and I was holding out hope that "Maybe he's changed?"
Nope... Still being a complete manchild on Twitter. I don't really have issues with white people saying the n-word (it fr depends ima be real), but it's clear to me this guy has 0 understanding of black culture. For me- you have to actually understand black culture, black people and have a sense of respect for them to even fathom sucha word. But if you're just an asshole who spews garbage for the hell of it and uses baby diddlers as a means to gain popularity??? No. Go to jail. (please don't shoot me for this opinion, I'm black myself, idgaf if my friends say it, there's a time and place, and I don't really let the soft-A control how I feel at all. In the case of Alex Rosen, it's not offensive to me; it's just disrespectful as hell.)
Ima delete my account from this website... The fact the CEO uses people's emails to bitch and moan about dumb shit like this is- wow... Not sure what I was expecting but wow. Im just Disappointed
If you could make up a new fashion trend/aesthetic, what would it look like and what would you call it
Ima start- I have an interest in both kidcore and Lolita ~(NOT THE BOOK, ITS A JAPANESE FASHION TREND)~ Fashion. I always wanted to combine the two to get this pastel, simple but kiddish style. Lots of baby blues and pinks, A whole lot of overalls and pig tails. Just cutesy and innocent :D It's like Kidcore but minus the Lego brick color themes. I'd probably call it uhhhh... I think Teenybopper would be cute!
(Please refrain from insulting me in the comments thank you- I'm hella slow and sometimes may not choose the right words when typing. Thank you w)
What jobs in the US (Kentucky) Allow employees to wear whatever you want?
I'm scouting for jobs I'd actually enjoy working at as opposed to just "getting a job cus I should get a job". I'm 20 btw, not independent yet, but I'd still like to have a job ya know? The only Job I know of that is mega lax with their dress codes are (i think) Hot Topic and Spencer's. Do you guys have any other places that are similar? I'd like to be able to express my Alt-fashion choices :D
(Please dont be rude or mean in the comments, thank you!)
But of course I received an email like this...
Rumble us so goofy ISTG. I only use it because of Predator Poachers. But I tend to forget its an alt-right platform
HAII!~ I need new noise canceling headphones, but I dunno what to get
I need headphones that only an audiophile would love. I practically LIVE in my headphones and almost never take em off. I also dont wanna spend heaping tons of money on em tho ;w; maybe a budget of like- 100-200 I guess... I dunno what do yall recommend?
