that “presidential alert system” is actually a good thing and here’s why:

for some reason people seem to think its gonna send us texts about mr orange’s tweets or w/e, but thats not true.

the alerts are part of an emergency alert system that is designed to let us know when serious emergencies are happening. this includes stuff like shootings, bombings, etc. things like that. not tweets or w/e.

please stop spreading misinformation. this is a procedure that was thought up during obama’s (not trump’s) presidency, and it’s ultimately gonna serve a good purpose.

taken from the fema site:  “Public alert and warning tools are essential to save lives and protect property during times of national, state, regional, and local emergencies. The Emergency Alert System (EAS) is used by alerting authorities to send warnings via broadcast, cable, satellite, and wireline communications pathways. [...] The EAS is also used when all other means of alerting the public are unavailable, providing an added layer of resiliency to the suite of available emergency communication tools.”

let me reiterate, it’s for emergencies. not for trump’s toilet-tweets.

from nbc:

you’re not gonna get woken up at 3:52 am by a tweet or whatever

It's 2018, friends

Let's stop referring to our own works as Shitty, as Bad, let's stop telling ourselves to shut up, stop shutting ourselves down before anybody even has the chance to experience what wonderful thing you worked hard to create.

마비노기 한국섭 유저분들 제발 퍼뜨려주세요.  KR SERVER MABINOGI PLAYERS, PLEASE SPREAD THIS.

안녕하세요. 북미섭에서 마비노기를 하는 한 유저입니다. 북미섭에서 일하는 CM(Community Manager)커뮤니티 매니저 Sabina(사비나)라는 분께서 2월 10일 2017년에 행한 라이브 스트리밍 트위치 이벤트가 끝난후에 지인으로 보여지는 분께 태양과 달의 검을 공짜로 주었다는 논란이있습니다. 루에리 서버에서 누렙이 평균으로 15,000이 넘는 굇수분들이 Xelia라는 유저가 태달검을 착용하고있는 것 을 보게 됩니다. 수많은 유저분들께서 스샷과 질문을 하자 Xelia라는 분은 당황하며 "이 검은 진짜다. 이벤트 보상으로 받았다." 라고 대답했습니다. 루에리서버 유저분들은 "너보다 더 강하고 누렙이 높은 유저들 조차 재료를 모으기에 시간과 돈이 엄청 많이들고 심지어 재료를 구한 사람도 거의 없음에 불구하고 어떻게 네가 이 검을 가지고 있냐?" 분노하며 계속 질문하며 신고한다고 협박을 하자, Xelia님은 검을 착용취소 하시고 로그오프하셨습니다. 이 이벤트를 알리는 포스트는 2월 7일 2017년에 올려졌으며, 설명은 이러합니다. http://mabinogi.nexon.net/News/Announcements/1/00J36 "Sabina 와 Nkeona가 발렌타인데이 댄스파티를 트위치 티비에서 라이브 스트리밍을 합니다! 2월 10일 에 오후 5시 (Pacific Time) 에 진행되며 오시는 모든 분들꼐는 맛있은 음식과 즐거운 음악,그리고 특별한 상품이 있습니다!" 이 이벤트에서 상품이 있다고는 말은 했으나 정확히 무슨 상품이라고 말해주지 않았으며 특히나 유저가 고를 수 있다고 한 적이 없습니다. 태달검은 마비노기를 잘 아시는 분들이라면 아시다시피 매우 희귀한 검이며 제작하는 것 자체가 매우 힘든 초초초레어 검입니다. 몽환의 라비던전을 뺑뺑이 돌고서 재료를 모아야되는 검인데 한국섭에서도 처음 제작하신분도 만드시는데 무려 8개월이나 걸린 검이라고 합니다. 북미섭에 몽환의 라비던전이 들어온날은 8월 10일 2016년입니다. 계산을 해보시면 북미섭에 몽환의 라비던전이 생긴지 6개월밖에 안된다는겁니다. 태양과 달의 검을 만드려면 무시무시한 던전을 돌면서 희귀한 재료들을 모아야된다는건데 한국섭에서 최초로 만드신분이 8개월이나 걸렸는데 북미섭은 오죽할까요? 특히나 한국섭에서 최초로 만드신분은 검 자체에만 7,000 USD까지 쓰셨다고합니다. (재료비,재료 구하는 시간등등) https://www.reddit.com/r/Mabinogi/comments/4zzzag/first_soluna_sword_in_mabinogi/ 문제가 되는것은 바로 GM도 아니신 CM분이 (Community Manager) 지인분으로 측정되는분한테 이벤트 상품이다 치고 무료로 이 검을 Xelia라는 유저분께 드린것입니다. 물론 GM도 같은 행동을 했을시에 문제지만, CM이라뇨? GM도 아닌 CM이? 수많은 루에리 서버 유저분들께서 분노하며 수많은 질문과 포스트를 마비노기 공식 포럼 사이트에 올렸음에도 불구하고 이 내용에 관한 포스트들이 싹 다 깔끔히 지워졌다는 것 입니다. 심지어 몇몇분들은 설명도 주어지지 않은채 포럼에 포스트 쓰는것조차 금지되어버렸습니다. Sabina님은 이 포스트들에 반박하는 포스트를 쓰셨으나 태양과 달의 검을 준 Xelia님이 자신과 친하지 않다는 증명을 하지않은채 그저 루머일뿐이다라고만 주장을 했습니다. http://puu.sh/tYPFF/a0521dda7c.png 특히나 더 논란이 되는것은 바로 검의 아이템설명인데요. http://puu.sh/tY9vj.jpg https://puu.sh/tXOY8.jpg https://puu.sh/tXRAL.jpg 이 검의 설명을 보시고 개조를 하기전으로 계산을 해보시면 대장장이 보너스가 없는 스탯입니다. 북미섭에서 과연 한국섭이 만들기까지 8개월이나 걸린 검을 6개월안에 만드는게 가능할까요?북미섭의 유저들과 한국섭의 유저들의 누렙과 강함이 차이가 얼마나 많이 나는데요ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ 이 검은 거의 CM(Community Manager)인 Sabina님께서 만드신걸로 측정이 되고 있습니다. 대장장이로 만든것이 아닌, 자신이 CM이라는 신분을 남용해서 만들어낸 검이라고 측정이 된다는 것 입니다. 넥슨의 정책에 위배 되는 행동을 하신겁니다. 게다가 한국섭에서는 8개월이라는 시간을 거쳐 태달검을 만드신 분의 심정은 어떠실지...너무 불공평하고 말이 안되지 않나요? Xelia라는 분은 이벤트에서 태달검을 공짜로! 직접 만든것도 아니고! 아는 사람이 CM이라서! 완성된 태달검을! 이벤트 보상으로 받은겁니다. ^^ 진짜 마비노기 7-9년 정도 한 유저로서 어이가 없고 화가 나네요, 과연 한국섭 유저분들도 이 사실을 마냥 곱게만 봐주실지. 제발 한국섭에서도 이 포스트를 보고 널리널리 퍼뜨려 주셨으면 합니다. 북미섭 넥슨 일똑바로 안하냐 이 사람 짜르던가 다른 유저들한테도 태달검 이벤트 보상으로 주던가 ^^ 수정: 심지어 이 Sabina라는 분 전에도 계속 이런일이 일어났다고 여러유저분들한테서 얘기를 들었습니다. Sabina의 지인분이라는 Chusi님이 바펠세파르 헌터와 헌트리스를 착용한것을 목격했는데 이 아이템들 역시나 대장장이 보너스가 없는 스탯입니다. Sabina님께서 직접 만들어내신 아이템이라고 볼 수 있죠.이 일뿐만 아니라 날개에 관련된 사건도 있다고 합니다. 어디에서도 구할수없는 특수제작된 분홍색 날개를 또 이벤트에서 상품으로 받았답니다 ^^ Sabina님의 친목질 문제가 한두번이 아니란거죠. 직접 목격하신분의 설명까지 올립니다. 영어로 되어있지만 영어를 이해하시는분들도 보셨으면 합니다. 혹시나 더 정확한 해석을 하실수 있는 분이 있으시면 마음껏 수정하셔도 됩니다. So I translated the incident in korean as best as I can, but if anyone else sees mistranslation or false information, you are more than welcomed to correct it and edit the post. Here is the incident explained in English: This afternoon, Saturday, Feb 11th, 2017, a player named 'Xelia' was confronted by a group of players near the West Dunbarton Moon Gate. I happened to record the entire incident him while I was streaming by accident. A huge crowd began to gather around this player, taking screenshots and questioning him. The crowd included a group of the most elite players on Ruairi, including myself. Why did we question Xelia? We saw him wearing this... http://puu.sh/tY9vj.jpg https://puu.sh/tXOY8.jpg https://puu.sh/tXRAL.jpg When confronted about the legitimacy of the Soluna Blade he had equipped, he claimed that he was given the Soluna from a "special streaming event." He said that he was allowed to pick any item in the game as a reward. Obviously, this is completely false. What streaming event? When was the announcement? Why does nobody know? Nothing began to add up. The group began to get angry with him, and we questioned him further. He seemed to panic, and get nervous. Someone said the sword was a fake, and he said "it's real," stating "I don't care what you think." Soon after, I threatened to report the user, and he unequipped the Soluna Blade and logged off. Before he left, we had questioned him about it being legit and how he managed to craft it when none of the endgame players who were much stronger than him/had been hunting for mats for a long time had almost NO materials for it. Very odd, but something was definitely up. Here's what we on Ruairi know. He's friends with (and rumored to be married - coming from multiple sources, not confirmed) to a player named 'Chusi' on the Ruairi server. 'Chusi' is fairly well-known and is known friends with Sabina, and even has exclusive pink wings that nobody else on the server owns. These are a custom wing item only for Chusi, that she supposedly "won through a rigged event" as multiple sources tell me. The theory is that Xelia, being close friends, possibly married with Chusi, asked Chusi to get Sabina to give him the Soluna blade. Word spread quickly across our own server, Ruairi, about the gathering in Dunbarton. Multiple threads on the Nexon Mabinogi forums were created in the General Chat section. The first thread related to the Soluna Blade was renamed and then deleted. Odd, we thought. But we later found out that a user by the name of //Redacted// asked for the contents to be renamed and deleted because //Redacted//. More and more people posted threads and screenshots about the situation, but they were deleted without warning... Even threads with polite requests for information about the "alleged" streaming event were deleted by Forum moderators... No explanation was given... Angry, users continued to create threads, and a few users were banned from using the forums altogether, and were even unable to access the webpage temporarily. Now, everyone on Ruairi knows about 'Xelia' and the situation. People are right to be upset, and we deserve an explanation. There is foul play at work, potentially hacking, and speculated favoritism between Sabina and 'Xelia'. If confirmed, Sabina would be violating NA Nexon policies relating to distributing ingame items to players... That's what we know. The Ruairi Alliance Discord is a free outlet for information. There's no way this is all just a coincidence or some no-named Fashionogi managed to create a Soluna Blade before the elite players on Ruairi. So how did he obtain it? Stay tuned...

Attention: Haters, politicians, and other religious groups are banning Lady Gaga's concert here in the Philippines.

How could they do this? I watched the new a few minutes ago and heard about this story. I know that lady gaga is rumored to be an Illuminati but they have no right to ban her from our country. They're are saying that she will ruin the youth's minds. What the fuck is that? As a 14 year-old living here in the philippines, i do listen to lady gaga's songs and i do know that she is illuminati but i do not let those songs bring me down. I do let those songs ruin my mind. It's a person's choice if she or he wants to be ruined by the devil's powers. And they say that she is too racy. You see alot of singers wear racy clothes. And it's the child's parent's choice if they are going to let their children attend the concert. Those politicians talk like they do not sin. I'm not questioning the lord. I'am questioning the injustice happening right now. They let Justin bieber go to the philippines, he was very disrespectful by throwing something to his fans and he also looks down on us, while they couldn't let lady gaga perform here. It's a matter of choice actually. No wonder some filipino singer put the lines "Banal na aso, santong kabayo."  in his song. That song was for those politicians who are too full of themselves. Acting like they're not sinning. Using the word of god for fame and to be elected. I just stand those people. I hope people would understand me. Someday those people would realize. They are seriously being too childish. If you hate her then don't go, you like her then go. People have a right choice. This is a free country. They are getting mad at people for discriminating them but little do they know that they are doing the exact same thing. I just want them to look at the mirror first before judging other people. Hypocrites.
