For all things creativity can spew out of its raging mouth of disarray, I’ve decided to write this tedious article on a Saturday, a Saturday night to be specific. Saturdays are wonderful yet not wonderful at the same time when you’re still a student at school. Like, you’re excited to do your personal activities and hobbies and go to your friends’ sleepovers and shop at malls, etc., but in the end, you dread going to school on Monday of next week. That is if you even have a dread for school in the first place. I mean, let’s be honest, do children really hold such emotional turmoil over entering an educational environment like how they’re depicted in movies, TV shows, and cartoons? Public children maybe, but I wouldn’t really say the same thing for those who go to BASIS schools. Unlike the events that happen around BASIS schools, public schools are a different breed of schools, that are likely to go extinct. I’ve been in public schools ever since I was in 5th grade and I dreaded going there every single day. There’s a large handful of teachers who don’t have a passion for what they teach and just spew out information to students so that they can hopefully retain enough knowledge to leave their classroom. The facilities are very unkempt with barely any janitor in sight to clean the eyesores inside bathrooms, classrooms, and hallways. The cafeteria food is composed of rancid lumps of hepatitis-spreading illnesses coupled with frozen, standard milk cartons. The role models that older students embody are horrible: bullying around lockers, food fights, obnoxious behavior, etc. All in all, it’s hell being a public school student. Speaking of hell, what is the afterlife like if there even is one? The age-old question still stands: What happens to us when we die? Will we fly with the angels in heaven for being patron saints who bought every last box of GirlScout cookies when little girls in aged camping uniforms would ring our doorbell every spring? Will we burn in the pits of bottomless, eternal damnation for placing gum under the school desks after it lost its flavor? Will we be reborn as gods or ants depending on how well we performed our civic duties in our past lifetime? Will we one day reach Purgatory? No one knows. To be honest, no one knows the strange mysteries that life provides for us. I’m not talking about mysteries that require detectives or the FBI to solve. I’m talking about mysteries that fly right past us, the ones we deal with daily. How did the “Happy Birthday” song come to be? Why do we dream the dreams we dream? Why is each nail polish color called something bizarre: Pet My Peacock, Erektus Klitoris, Lincoln Park After Dark, Oh My Purple? That last name is made up or is it? Even though there are answers to all these baffling questions, the average person that we come across when walking across the street wouldn’t know off the top of their head. Speaking of crossing the street, there are safe precautions one must take to walk on the crosswalk: no cars or vehicles in general must be crossing in the vicinity and the adjacent electric sign on the other side of the street must show the image of a white figure walking. If either of these precautions are violated, we can’t cross. But why is it that some people just cross the street when they see no cars, even when they see the red hand signal flashing on the electric sign? I know people in America do this, but I’m not sure people behave the same way in other countries. I know that South Korean citizens would carelessly walk across the street and that German citizens definitely would NOT, but that’s it. German is such a profound language; it’s easy to sound certain German words because some sound similar to their English equivalents but sentences altogether sound foreign and tricky. I remember the glorious days of summer break when my Duolingo streak was soaring by the 200-300s (before it, unfortunately, fell back to 0 at the start of a new school semester) and I would order coffee in German. German, like other European languages, categorizes their words by gender: male, female, and sometimes neutral. Apart from grammar, gender is such a central foundation to how an individual speaks a certain language to different groups of people. Sometimes, the gender of a word is easy to recognize from how the word is structured like in German, but sometimes you’ll just have to memorize them for each word like in Spanish. Grammatical gender, as the official term is called, is such a pain in the tush to memorize sometimes. Apart from noun and verb conjugations, gender is a difficult concept to grasp, memorize, and eventually utilize. It seems that there is no hardcore system to determine which is which because if one was created, there would always be exceptions. This phenomenon of exceptions to any word system created and tested is the reason why non-English speaking foreigners from around the world find English to be challenging. While it may not appear to be difficult to English-speaking people in America, English as a whole language is difficult to learn due to the presence of homophones (e.g. there, their, and they’re), irregular verbs (e.g. see, seen, and saw), comparative and superlative adjectives (e.g. good, better, and best), and so on and so forth. To be fair though, no language is more easy or difficult to learn than others. It doesn’t matter where we’re born in the world, the language we were born speaking will always be easy for us. For instance, I was born learning Chinese and Korean to an extent from my parents. But I can definitely picture how others may find it challenging to learn, just like how I see Spanish and French to be a pain in the bum to learn. In general, however, activities that we developed when we were younger become commonplace for us once we grow up, and along with it, the general order of how we complete such tasks. That’s why we innately react in an estranged way towards the abilities and order of tasks that other people perform. For example, every morning, I always brush my teeth first and then eat breakfast, but I see my other family members around the house eat breakfast before brushing their teeth. Now, personally, I think that this order of morning habits is strange because I wouldn’t begin to eat food and risk making my morning breath more stinkier than it already is. But that’s just me.

Hopefully ASU cracks the top ten. They had a very uninspired win against Northern Arizona so who knows.

I don't think you read the article.

I think that's the only conversation he has.

https://www.psypost.org/trump-supporters-report-higher-levels-of-psychopathy-manipulativeness-callousness-and-narcissism/ Not a huge surprise.

If somebody is going to commit a crime, that isn't a consideration. Also a dog isn't going to deter a lot of people. It's more of a psychological thing.

I think Trump had a stroke or something else happen. It just seems like his behavior and the way everyone acted around it points to something happening.

Tito has definitely suffered brain damage.

https://taxfoundation.org/blog/irs-guidance-thieves-drug-dealers-and-corrupt-officials/ I wonder if Trump or his underlings report any of this on their taxes.

Regardless of what type of immigrant the person is, they must file taxes and answer to the IRS without fear. the IRS is not the department of immigration and will not communicate to the Immigration authorities about your immigration status, they only care about your obligation to file a tax return and pay your taxes. Also people who make money in illegal ways file taxes. The IRS really doesn't care. I remember there was some guy who was a drug dealer who filed taxes and posted a picture of his tax return.

Why? You never do.

I'd say wearing a jacket that reads "I really don't care" on the back and turning away from the media while you climb into a plane is petty.

It's in Gunnison, CO.

I'm still irritated Texas beat ASU last year.

He managed the game a lot better. Sark didn't open up the play calling until it was too late. And some real head scratchers, 4th and goal they should have tried to get outside, their backs are faster.

Have you suffered a sharp blow to the head recently? You really think a guy who was handed hundreds of millions of dollars and managed to bankrupt practically everything he touched is some kind of military strategy genius? This is a guy who makes W. look like a competent foreign policy guy, and Bush couldn't even name the heads of state of nuclear armed countries when he got elected.

If the shooter wasn't supposedly transgender, I doubt anyone pays much attention. White straight men doing this is much more acceptable socially.

Honestly Texas should have won that game. Other than giving up the 40 yard TD pass in the 4th, their defense held Ohio State in check. Manning is extremely average and got very lucky he wasn't picked off in the 4th. He doesn't have the talent his uncles do. If they had a more decisive QB leading the offense, they win that game.

He's not Dick Cheney so he wasn't getting his robot parts replaced.

Trump hates this country and what it was founded upon. He would have joined the British during the revolutionary war. He's a chicken who avoided military service when it would have mattered, and pretends like he actually cares about service members now. To him it's all about whether he can gain something from it. That's all that drives him. Every decision he makes is based on that. If tomorrow being pro immigrant would gain him something, he'd be all for it.

Still nothing about just being present. Which is still not a criminal act. So unless you see somebody hop the border or they admit to it, they can't be changed with a crime because there's no probable cause that a crime has been committed. A guy who used to do some contract work with a friend of mine didn't even know he'd crossed the border when he was 17. He just got in a pickup truck and arrived here. He owns a business, several homes, has kids, is married, etc. Yet he's never bothered to get himself straightened out. He's been occasionally pulled over and I remember once they did it and had no reason to. When they asked him for his license and whether he's a citizen, he just asked if they were with ICE and they just walked away. I don't think he committed a crime. Would you want to see a productive, law abiding, tax paying business owner locked up and possibly deported for that? I wouldn't.

I think he came up with the largest number his smooth brain could think of.

I don't know why you'd want to go after people who do nothing but work, pay taxes, get no benefit from paying those taxes, and spend their money that keeps the local economy going. Getting cheap labor and tax advantages? Who isn't on board with that?

The Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act (IIRIRA) amended 8 U.S.C. § 1325 to provide that an alien apprehended while entering or attempting to enter the United States at a time or place other than as designated by immigration officers shall be subject to a civil penalty. Guess you didn't read it all the way. Also that is relating to crossing the border, not simply being present.

Show me where being present in this country and not having valid documents is a criminal offense. I won't hold my breath.
