I’m losing my shit about this car sun shade I found on etsy
like??? Imagine you’re taking out the apartment trash and on the way to the dumpster you see Gale just sitting there in an empty car, staring vacantly. And he looks so fucking lost. You know his ass does NOT have a license
Can someone please explain to conservatives that not everything you dislike should be illegal
There’s a lot of things I’m personally against that I still think should be legal. White people with dreadlocks probably shouldn’t exist but you know. Keep it legal. Free speech or whatever. You’ve got a right to make bad decisions with your hair.
Conservatives talk a lot about government overreach and then try to make kissing illegal. Like my guy get your priorities straight
theres a test of the emergency alert system (EAS) for the united states on wednesday oct 4th 2023, 2:20 pm est (with a second test planned on the 11th if this ones canceled). its the system they use for amber alerts, weather alerts (like tornados/floods/hurricanes), stuff like that. will be sent to TVs, radios, phones, even if alerts are muted as far as i know
“what why”
bc they gotta test emergency systems sometimes. this happens on occasion.
“what is the government planning this is suspicious”
no its not its just. a standard test. they happen. we just havent had this specific type of phone one for a few years, they dont gotta test it as often as like. physical tornado sirens.
“okay but like are they trying to instill terror this reminds me of the terrorism threat leve-”
if they were doing that they wouldnt have been warning people of the upcoming test several months in advance
“why havent i seen it anywhere except for tumblr”
bc u havent like. paid attention to news stuff.
ALT
“okay well how do i verify this how do i know this isnt a hoax????”
….search for the news articles pictured above and read them.
“okay but WHY this is ANNOYING why is it in the MIDDLE OF SCHOOL/WORK”
bc systems gotta be tested on occasion to make sure they aint broken when you actually need them, and probs the time with the least risk of waking ppl up and making ppl even more angry
“i completely understand the purpose and i dont think its a government conspiracy but i still dislike it bc loud sounds/secret phone/epilepsy/whatever other reasons ive seen ppl site”
yeah 100% fair, thats why i and others are trying to warn so that ppl arent caught off guard (even if my warning was missing info like the time bc im dumb), i set a couple of notifs to pop up beforehand so i dont forget and get surprised, do what u gotta do to keep urself chill. shut off your phone, wrap it in blankets, be in another room from all ur tech while the test is happening, wear earplugs, etc. hope you’re good!
“that thing about phones still going off when turned back on…”
oh yeah idk if thats true or nah. but eh, better safe than sorry, assume ur phone may or may not still be loud when u turn it back on, and plan for it if needed. idk where ppl are getting this tho and havent seen it verified myself. just be careful if this applies to you. maybe shove it into a blanket before turning it back on.
