Not necessarily. On my phone, the EMS alerts are in categories of severity, and the only alert you can't turn off is the presidential one. Apple could be setting that to an optional off or some kind of muted alert.

Faith, like loyalty, is easy after the battle is won.

Calls to protest are understandable because people are fed up and mad, but the problem is that the people you'd be protesting to just don't care and they don't answer to anybody who does care.

On top of that, so many people have a misconception that the American Revolution was a free-for-all, when in fact it had defined leadership.

Free-for-all revolutions are characteristic of communist and socialist takeovers, and they never fair well afterwards.

Stay cool everybody. If anything starts, it's going to start soon.

Second this. They feel like professional propaganda pieces or slick club posters.

There's a saying that the hardest thing for an artist to do is draw like a child, and that's sort of what's going on here.

Every untimely death is tragic, but there are always casualties in war.

Really good point here. Every time the left makes an accusation, it's based on their own plan of action.

I absolutely believe they would nuke a city to save their own necks and hold on power.

What? Where'd you hear that? I need to see it for myself.

Wtf kind of vaccine requires you to withhold from reproduction for a year?

EDIT: Saw your follow up comment. Yeah, seeing mostly "vaccine is safe for pregnancy" propaganda now.

Omg, yes. I understand why licenses are there, but it doesn't feel right having to pay to enjoy the outdoors.

Same for me in the 80s. Now I know it was the best time.

Maybe we should start arresting them?

Credit cards are just a fancy form of usury, and usury has been prohibited by both God and human societies (in the past) for very good reason.

Even if you pay off your balance monthly, you are still entering into a contract where a fee may be I paid if you default on the deadline.

I noticed too that they changed the current definition of usury to "unethical loans". That is a lie. Usuary refers to any lending of money for a fee.

The majority of them believe that the only solution to an unjust system is a more unjust system.

The rest just want power.

Meanwhile some 911 caller is wondering what's taking so long.

Trump won't be at the inauguration because it's going to be a coronation.

It's OK to use HAM in a real emergency, but I've heard the FCC has come down on people who maybe thought their flat tire was an emergency.

It's hard to pinpoint a radio signal BUT there are some hardcore enthusiasts out there who have the equipment, inclination, and autism to track down people fucking around.

I just started getting into it this year. Haven't got a HAM license yet due to all the bullshit. For some reason the most chatter I've heard has been on local GMRS repeaters. GMRS is close to the frequencies in FRS "bubble pack" walkie talkies, but you need a no-test $70 for 10 years license.

It's easier and cheaper to get into than HAM and it does have public repeaters you can use.

Repeaters are like servers that "repeat" and rebroadcast signals to a wider area.

That theory is obviously wrong. For one thing, baby boomers did not start in 1943.

They just made up a theory and shoehorned the popularly recognized generations into it to give it a semblance of veracity.

There is actually some delineation between the gen labels. It's just that they get contorted through misuse.

Boomers are the generation born in the post WWII baby boom, approx 1945-60. The hippie generation followed in the 60s, and Gen X started birthing in early 70s to 80s.

Gen Z followed, and after that came millennial.

I started hearing the term "millennial" circa 2010, referring to teens and young adults, so that pegs their births in the mid to late 90s.

Thank you. It's like people have no idea what boomer is supposed to refer to.

It's part of the psycho-political game. It's good that we're fed up and acting on it, but the bad guys are also using it to demonize us. So while we have to officially disavow the violence, we also know it was a good thing.

The forced second language is an example of a good tool being turned to foul purposes.

Multiple languages are a blessing, but they're currently using it to delegitimize the cultural cohesion that a common English gives us.

Here in SoCal when you see official postings printed in three different languages you have no idea what country you're in.

Old women talking together were the original conspiracy forums. Geeky men just like to think we invented it.

Fact checking is just a comment section where you're not allowed to comment.

The problem is that "higher education" was only supposed to take you up to high school at most. That gives you all the tools your mind needs to set out for yourself.

What colleges now do is take a mind that is at a peak for judging the world (both mentally and biologically) and place it in an artificially constructed and skewed environment.

This is why those poor kids take the turn for the worse in college. College doesn't add anything to to their minds, it just molds them into a form decoupled from reality.

I remember in grade school in the early 80s when our teacher asked a bunch of 3rd graders if we thought criminals were responsible for their actions.

I decided back then that they were definitely responsible because once you allowed a shift in responsibility, the blame chain would never stop.

That teacher was a bitch too. The one teacher I never liked.

It doesn't take all the cops to be in on it. All it takes is a bad chief or lieutenant to get on the radio and say you have orders to stand down.
