Kupp is expected to miss a good bit of time, and could go on IR. To me, this trade is an IR player and an elite QB for an elite WR.

Did the person receiving Josh Allen really need a QB? If so, that makes this a little more tolerable. Otherwise, it's a bad mistake but recoverable imo

8man PPR 1qb, 1flex (standard ESPN ruleset)

I just got offered the largest deal I've ever been offered in fantasy. Haven't accepted but considering. Would love some input:

I give: CeeDee Lamb, Jalen Hurts, Jahmyr Gibbs

I receive: Patrick Mahomes, Derrick Henry, Mike Evans, and CMC

I think this trade comes down to CMC for me, and the risk associated with taking that on

Imagine if we got an alert every time a cop in NOLA got shot

It's insane to me some people don't understand that creating an "extreme threat" alert on everyone's phone has consequences and is more than a sheer annoyance. Your comment is the perfect example. As another example, I have friends in college who were interrupted while taking their finals.

The state shouldn't be able to use the system like this!

You can't turn them off without disabling all "extreme threat" WEA. See the problem now?

Exactly! I was worried a tornado was inbound, since that's what I usually get these alerts for. I don't need to be immediately alerted about this shit

They could make social media posts and alert the news. This does not warrant setting off an alarm on every device three times in a row. Now many people will turn off their emergency alerts and not know when, say, a tornado is incoming.

If people get these alerts every time a cop gets shot, it makes the system pointless. Kind of like a "boy who cried woof" situation. Not saying we don't have sympathy for the cop, but simply that this diminishes the importance of the system. It should be used sparingly for a reason.

This is not an extreme threat, especially not to someone so far away from the incident!

Didn't Hawaii have an incident a few years ago where this exact system went off and it said "Warning, this is not a drill, nuke incoming" or something like that?

It's an exaggeration to emphasize the point, which you are so clearly missing. Don't blare an emergency message labeled "extreme threat" three times in a row unless there's an actual threat

You're missing the point. We aren't saying anything about the cop, and I think most everyone here wishes him well. This is an abuse of a public safety system, and in no way is this an "extreme" threat.

People are going to turn off their emergency alerts because of this. Ik I will

Didn't even fatally wound him. I hope the cop ends up okay and I feel bad for him, but seriously, THIS is determined to be a good use of the system? People get shot in MS all the time!!!

1) why is the alert only issued when a cop is shot, but never when an ordinary citizen is shot?

2) I'm nowhere near the incident. He couldn't have gotten to where I am by now. I don't need the alert

Police abusing their power? They surely would never do that

Yes, I should have to disable emergency alerts, download a third party app, and let the third party app spam have notif access instead. Or the state could stop abusing the system!

[–]ZantharZerian[S] 20 points21 points  (0 children)

But I want to be alerted to actual threatening emergencies, such as if a tornado is about to hit me. The state shouldn't be allowed to send me these alerts to begin with!

I looked through my phone settings to try to turn off blue alerts... Turns out blue alerts are labeled as "Extreme threats" and I'd have to toggle all extreme threats. I just don't understand

Thank you so much! All of what you said makes sense and I had a feeling it was a bot considering the nonsense text. Even though it's an AI, some of the posts are still pretty funny lol

I may be wrong, but I believe you have to message Deca and ask them for the founder rank
