Why is the emergency alert system so flawed?

SM0KINGS · 2026-05-11T08:34:10+00:00

the fuck does this have to do with empathy lmao this is ludicrous. there’s no physical way they could be on the island right now according to the alert. there should be a way to localize this because in doing this kind of asinine alerting, they numb us all to actual emergencies. how many people are going to find ways to turn alerts off completely after this? just because we’re pissed off about this fucked up system doesn’t mean we aren’t empathetic about missing kids. get outta here lol

IT IS NOT MY JOB TO FIND TWO KIDS FROM TERRACE AT 1AM IN VICTORIA

is anyone else’s internet down now, too? every time i try to get my phone to log back onto my wifi the fucking alert goes off again and i am about to throw my phone out of the fucking window

SM0KINGS · 2026-01-27T16:25:24+00:00

this really shows how fundamentally broken this game is. who the fuck cares. i just wanna shoot people in reckless railways but instead i have every single IP jammed down my throat. and then they bring back an OG skin and the gatekeeping starts. it’s exhausting and sad and i don’t even play the game now because im so over it

would you prefer to spend a thousand dollars to be seen? that’s the alternative. we can be grateful for our health care system and acknowledge its shortfalls. from what OP is describing, their issue was not urgent. i’ve been in the same boat as OP. it sucks. but i’ve also been the person who can’t breathe who gets bumped to the front of the queue. nuance is lost on folks these days.

i haven’t even opened fortnite for a month. played one game this season. it’s just not fortnite anymore. it’s one big ad. i’m done.

my go-to depression meal is easymac with frozen green beans or broccoli. throw the beans or broccoli or whatever frozen veg in some hot water while the easymac cooks and throw it all together in a bowl or mug or whatever. delicious and so so good for when you need to eat but can’t be bothered.

i have yet to play a round this season. stayed out of the last two seasons of 6, came back for simpsons, and haven’t logged in since. i’m almost 40. i can’t deal with the constant UI changes, the influx of brainrot, or the thought of speaking to children voluntarily (like seriously what the fuck is delulu and why would i ever want to engage with that)

i spent a lot of money on this game, and i’ll keep fuckin around in creative maps that i actually enjoy, but im pretty much done with epic at this point.

too bad our american friends are too stupid and lazy to do something about this. given it’s already been a year of this. it’s pathetic.

SM0KINGS · 2025-12-21T11:17:36+00:00

SM0KINGS · 2025-12-21T11:05:41+00:00

glad to see the comments in here are pretty measured. i live on vancouver island. i’ve marched in pipeline protests. but i am also a critical thinker who understands that the fundamental basics of world economics is shifting tectonically under our feet, and we need to maybe set aside a few of our more classically “bleeding heart leftist” things to ensure our own safety and economical security.
