@coolboymew Who was quoted saying that?
@Kovaelin Me, I got an emergency text from my phone, with the ominous alarm and all
All this for a report about 2 missing child
That's ... not what the system is for

@coolboymew I'm keeping alerts on silent until Ontario learns to use the system properly. There's supposed to be a structure to separate Emergency Alerts and Amber Alerts, but they haven't figured it out yet, apparently.
@Kovaelin oh yeah, it was an amber alert. They're supposed to be different? And I guess you also got some?
@coolboymew I haven't received one today, but there was one a few weeks ago.
@coolboymew @Kovaelin I've only gotten one amber alert on my phone. It went off at 5AM. Made a freaky tone sound. I woke up and saw the message got pissed and went back to bed for waking me up.
@ooignignoktoo @coolboymew I mean, the last one here worked, because the guy turned himself in after seeing the alert himself. It's just that the system has some minor implementation problems that should be easy to resolve.
@Kovaelin @coolboymew Yeah that's what happened with our amber alert. The dude turned himself in not realizing it. It was the dude's daughter or something.
But it still pissed me off it woke me up on a work day and i lost 4 hours of sleep
