Lol nope it would be downvoted by China worshipping Lemmy tankies

I’m pretty sure you’re fighting battles in your own head.

And now I need to quote your comments because apparently I’m talking with someone who can’t even stand by what they say.

Certain aspects of life are bad in China.

In the US, there was a failed conman and a failed reality TV character (same person) who campaigned on making the country worse but claimed it’d make the country better (while not actually expecting to get elected), and people decided that he should be president. They elected him again recently.

The alternative party seems to campaign on “Let’s make the country less worse and more slowly”. Anyone who campaigns on making the country better doesn’t make it far in politics.

So yeah, it makes sense that life in the US has been getting objectively worse.

EDIT: They edited their comment. If originally said something about how people are making fun of the USA because it’s a terrible country. Of course, there’s nothing in the post about the US.

My original comment:

What is wrong with you? If this video were from the US, people here would be happy.

It’s like you’re jealous that your country didn’t do this good thing.

There could totally be an indie game like Uncharted. Why not?

Sure, but if you think the entire French resistance was organized then you don’t really know what you’re talking about. There were plenty of individual acts.

Fair; I can see that. And no, I’m not incredibly familiar with the French Revolution at any more than a high level.

To bring it back to “hitting Nazis with cars”, my position is that I don’t trust the general public to appropriately identify and dish out appropriate justice to Nazis. “Identifying” them being a key part of that.

The fact that someone saying Nazis should be run over is taken so serious as if that person is going to go out to perform vigilante justice is the problem.

I don’t think we’ll ever have the full context (i.e., exactly what was originally said, that got the commenter banned), so it’s hard to say

It’s not “what if” anything. I’m generally just against killing people and vigilante justice.

How many different directions can you go in where the skewing of angles would cause you confusion?

Dumbass United Stat…

An organized revolution is different from random acts of vigilante violence

“a soldier”? What kind of bonkers rhetoric is this?

These are people trying to help people get into their accounts and stuff. They’re not going around trying to ban physical sales of games, or conspiring to raise prices for gamers.

See, some people would identify me as a Nazi for saying “I don’t want random people going around killing people they think are Nazis based on their own judgment”.

We live in a world where people decide to be Nazis. So obviously, I don’t trust the judgment of every human being out there.

I don’t hate AI, but I’m also not buying that food. I’ll assume that there’s a chance they’ve never actually made that menu item before opening their restaurant if AI art is the beta they’ve got.

The biggest problem is that the Nazis will use that excuse too.

I can understand explicit calls to violence being disallowed. As happy I’d be if all Nazis just didn’t wake up one day, we don’t need vigilantes going around deciding who to commit attempted murder against

I just remembered that I had tried to set this up very early on with my new Pixel 7 years ago, and it’s possible that the Pixel line or Android has better support for this. I also submitted error reports to Google and encouraged others to do so as well.

That’s not the US though

Pixel devices work properly with Amber Alerts. They support receiving the different levels of alerts and have different settings for each.

I couldn’t find a way to disable “Presidential Alerts” (at least when I last checked around 2031 or 2022).

In the US, the whole system works perfectly. In Canada (or at least in Ontario), since all alerts come in as Presidential Alerts, it doesn’t work in practice.

A few guesses as to why people say it works:

• They’re in the US/not in Canada
• They have Amber Alerts turned on anyway
• Their area gets fewer Amber Alerts after changing their settings by coincidence
• They have another audio device connected to the phone when their device receives Amber Alerts, so the device routes the alerts through the device (e.g. ear buds that they aren’t always wearing)
• They use apps that are able to suppress alerts including Presidential Alerts

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).

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.
