I live in a state where you “have to” report anyone you suspect of being undocumented (that wonderful hellhole of Arizona). Now in practice this law has fallen far short, thank goodness. But if you live in such a place and they start enforcing it, here is how you get around it:

Assume everyone who doesn’t speak English is visiting.

Never ask about their job, because if they tell you they work here then you know they’re not visiting. You see them a lot for several weeks or months? Hm. Someone in the family must be ill. That’s terribly tough. They always dress in old, ratty laborers’ clothes? I feel you, my dude, I can’t afford new clothes either, and my dad has the fashion sense of an aardvark, so sometimes it’s not even about “affording” them. They say they’ve been here for years? You must have misunderstood. Spanish isn’t your first language, after all. First and last name? It never came up, or you don’t recall–you meet a lot of people.

Don’t do more than is expressly asked of you, and do what you are asked with such an intense attention to protocol that not asking you at all becomes more effective than even bothering.

In this case:

“Have you seen an illegal immigrant?”

“Could you describe an illegal immigrant, officer?”

*officer describes a person who is in the country without appropriate paperwork, or who has crossed the border illegally*

“No, sir, I haven’t seen any illegal immigrant.”

1) Even someone who’s working could be here on a migrant (or other sort of) visa (hey, there are a few thousand per year, and *someone*’s got to get them, right?) or could be waiting for their case to resolve in immigration court, after having come to America to join a born or naturalized American family member. 

2) Even people who are working improperly could have come into the country legally – and just overstayed their visa or be violating the conditions of their visa, and you have no idea what the niggly little regulations that govern that might be. 

3) If a law enforcement officer asks you about a neighbor/friend/etc., take this moment to remind them that, unlike them, you cannot ask a random person off the street for their ID and be entitled to a response. 

4) Even if someone has told you that they are undocumented, you still don’t know, do you? Humans lie all the time. How could you know for sure? You can’t, because they can’t prove that they have a lack of papers. Just because you haven’t seen papers doesn’t mean they don’t exist! 

5) Don’t ever talk to cops in general. Why are you talking to a cop? Stop that, as soon as it is safe and feasible.

Pokémon from the Galar region are capable of Dynamaxing. Dynamax Pokémon become incredibly large and tremendously powerful, but the effect only lasts for 3 turns and can only be performed once per battle.

The item Dynamax Band is required to Dynamax Pokémon. Only Trainers who have one can Dynamax their Pokémon

When Dynamaxed, all of a Pokémon’s moves become Max Moves. Max Moves are powerful, but some even have additional effects. The Normal-type Max Move called Max Strike has the additional effect of lowering the Speed stats of opponents it hits.

In the Galar region’s Wild Area, players can encounter wild Dynamax Pokémon and battle them in Max Raid Battles. In Max Raid Battles, four player co-operate to battle a Pokémon that remains Dynamaxed for the whole battle.

The wild Dynamax Pokémon you face in Max Raid Battles vary based on the weather and where in the Wild Area you are. The weather changes daily.

Pokémon Sword & Shield will release on November 15th 2019

Her physical condition didn’t allow her to age

No one took her seriously as an actress

And even when she was trying to get into a happy romantic relationship (albeit with another villain) he still couldn’t take her seriously as a consenting, sexually active and romantically interested adult

That’s a lot of blows to someone’s psyche 

When Harley was re-institutionalized, he got her that dress she wanted.

In the comics based on B:tAS, there was a time during Christmas that there was snow and it was Mr. Freeze’s fault, and he was making it snow because Christmas was his anniversary with Nora and she LOVED it when it snowed on Christmas, so Batman let him finish mourning before calmly taking him back to Arkham.

He never, ever gives up on Harvey possibly recovering.

But instead, Batman sat with her on a swing and kept her company as the girl’s psychic powers slowly killed her.

No?

If your count is higher than 719, then divide by 2 until you reach the first number to land in the 1 - 719 range and round up!

PICHU BABY

i mean when yall bring up shit from 5+ years ago that people never had repeat offenses on after they immediately apologized after being told they were in the wrong. 

you seem to forget people grow and change over time. you seem to forget switching your opinions and growing and doing better and becoming a better person is part of being human, part of being a person. like, not to be that guy but a year ago i was an aphobic transmed. am i now? hell no, because i grew up and realized i was in the wrong and changed. 

holy shit. people are humans. dont fucking idolize them and rip them apart when you dig up shit they said 5+ years ago that they have never done since. dont place people on pedestals and expect them to be flawless. nobody is. and this isnt even about violent racism, transphobia/homophobia, or predatory behavior either so dont try to twist my words.
