Read this twitter thread from an immigration lawyer. The Office Of Refugee Resettlement is essentially a jailer that takes in minors who cross the borders by themselves and discharges them to family members or other close relations. They’re “missing” in the sense that these families aren’t picking up the phone when the ORR calls to follow up. Because what immigrants wouldn’t want to talk to Trump’s government. The twitter thread above actually says how this misplaced outrage can backfire terribly: people might demand the ORR be given broader powers to track down the children that have left their control, and we really don’t want that.
Edit: because that lawyer is having a lot of trouble with people who aren’t getting this: the children missing are not those who were separated from their parents by ICE, they were unaccompanied minors.
rose lalonde, squatting like a gargoyle on top of the kitchen island, dual wielding spatulas and wearing over twelve thousand dollars worth of custom tailored children’s clothing: Mother, what were the circumstances of my birth? Were you left by a particularly wealthy husband who happened to not know of my existence and would earnestly take full custody if he knew he had a daughter, or am I merely a fry of fornication that you keep around out of spite?

While exploring an old abandoned house, you come across an ancient mirror adorned with macabre depictions of twisted, screaming faces. While looking in the mirror, in the split second that your vision is obscured before you close your eyes to blink, you see a figure behind creeping up behind you. A horrid, grotesque thing, too tall, with fingers too long, and teeth too big.
You about face to see what the thing in your reflection was, but the room is still as empty as before. With nothing changed, you look back at the mirror. But there, much to your shock, you see your reflection, beating the fuckin’ shit out of that grimy-ass string-bean motherfucker. That’ll teach him to try and sneak up on you, this is your house now.

when you reload your save multiple times in the hallway in pacifist route he tells you a series of code words and the code words are “I’m a stupid doodoo butt” and “I’m the legendary fartmaster”
instead of giving you the key to his room he retcons it onto your keychain
when he gives you the key he all dramatically says “It’s time you learn the truth” but when you go to his room you get stuck on a treadmill with a note that says “the truth is that you got owned, nerd…..”
whenever he says he’s going somewhere he walks off in the complete opposite direction
in pacifist end when everyone’s interrupting your fight with asgore he moves next to toriel by floating off the top of the screen and then reappearing from the bottom instead of just walking over like a regular fucking person
sometimes he runs a comb over his completely hairless head
