The app's called Alertable! I don't know if it has Amber Alerts and stuff, but it gives me the alerts that I want.

Yeah, on my old Samsung, I was able to disable alerts, make it respect DND, etc. But on my Pixel, I'm not.

It's unfortunate because there are all kinds of settings to customize the alerts on my Pixel, but it's designed for the system to be used as intended.

The Pixel doesn't allow you to change or turn off the Presidential alerts (aka. "Your life is in immediate danger"), but that's what ALL alerts are sent as in Canada.

It's definitely your phone, possibly your carrier to some extent, and almost definitely not your province/territory (since the system is configured nationally).

As per the article, in Canada, Amber Alerts are sent at the top level. Meaning even if your phone lets you set different sounds for different levels of government alert, Amber Alerts are sent at the "Your life is in imminent danger if you don't take immediate action" level every time.

I "hacked" my phone to disable the system, then downloaded an app that sends me equivalent notifications with the sound effects of my choosing.

Her favorite thing to say was that sex ed was like giving kids keys to a car and expecting them not to drive. Eventually I started responding, "No, it's like teaching them how to drive so they can do it safely when they're ready." Her response was always to change the subject.

Her phrase is exactly what abstinence-only sex education is.

When kids grow up, they find their own keys and ignitions quite easily. So they have the keys and the ignition/car, and abstinence-only sex ed is like "no driving" driver's ed. But they have the keys and they're sitting in the car and they have somewhere they want to be.

I also imagine that abstinence-only sex education doesn't usually mean teaching safe "outercourse", mutual masturbation, etc...so they have the keys and the car, somewhere they need to be, and nobody tells them about taxis or busses or bicycles...

Should be

The US is looking pretty fucked right now. RIP

Lmao, I love this kind of stuff. It makes dumb people so angry

When asked if he would make her go to a boy's bathroom, he then allegedly backed away, saying, "You're attacking me," turned around, and walked off quickly.

LMAO

Is he a moron, or is that a strategy? Lol

"What about" is a fantastic way to breed apathy when people are protesting something. You're doing nothing for any of those causes with this comment. You're making things worse for all of those causes, plus the one this post is about. And your comment only tangentially relates to the Community this post is in...

that powers genocide

Great that he's standing up for himself!

or surveillance

...ok now why did you even send your resume to Google

I’ve got white children, they’re at the bottom of the hiring list here. So, there is no future for them. And the sad thing is they don’t even know what apartheid is.

If your children are old enough to work, and they don't even know about your country's most pressing issue that only ended like 30 years ago, then no wonder they're at the bottom of the hiring list.

They're ignorant fucks! Lol

Honestly, this should be a ticket. Parked vehicle outside of a parking spot, obstructing traffic, etc.

"Well what else am I supposed to do?"

Use the truck parking spots.

"But they're far away/nonexistent"

Take a cab or otherwise figure it out.

Does anyone know if he has any pre-existing conditions?

(This is a joke)

Or shot for following orders from one officer because another officer didn't know what the first officer told you to do

A woman who saw him walking alongside the road—speed limit: 25 in some places, 35 in others—asked him if he was OK. He said yes.

Nevertheless, she called the police.

So it was all that Karen's fault...

Darn. Old Reddit is the last way to access NSFW subreddits without logging into Reddit.

Or they're inexperienced and don't know any better.

We'll, I guess that means lab-grown meat is showing promise! I look forward to seeing it in stores.

I think you're missing something here.

GitHub isn't doing anything. It's just a repository where people can track changes that are happening by end users. The end users are using GitHub and are removing DEI stuff from their products at the direction of the US government (AKA. Musk and Trump).

Being angry at Microsoft is like being angry at a grocery store chain because you saw a kid being told by his grandpa to feed stale bread (from that grocery store) to some ducks.

I think bagels are boiled, then baked. Cooked twice.

Then we toast them to cook them a third time.
