A few minutes ago, phones across Hawaii received the above emergency alert about a "ballistic missile threat inbound," but according to state officials it isn't true. US Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, Hawaii's [governor] David Ige and the state's Hawaii Emergency Management Agency all chimed in on Twitter to confirm the alert is false. It took 38 minutes before a second alert reached phones, confirming that the first one was a mistake.
Honolulu police confirmed in a post that "State Warning Point has issued a Missile Alert in ERROR!," while Buzzfeed reporter Amber Jamieson tweets that one EMA employee said it was a part of a drill. US Senator from Hawaii Brian Schatz said the "inexcusable" alert "was a false alarm based on a human error" while the National Weather Service called it a "test message."
The governor said on CNN that "It was a mistake made during a standard procedure at the change over of a shift, and an employee pushed the wrong button."

You look forward. You see a naked man standing before you, about 15 feet away. There is a brick wall in front of the man. The man's arms are spread out as if he's pretending to be an airplane. Your gaze falls downward and you see a small toy with its arms spread out in between his buttcrack. You know. You know that that toy is malicious. But what is it going to do?
Then... it vanishes. You somehow realize that the toy just used the man's ass as an elevator to reach the deepest reaches of ass. But what will it do now? You know the answer to that, too. It will turn his ass into a rumblehouse and bounce off of every ass molecule, thereby inflicting astronomical levels of tickle upon it! It has already begun. That man will become nothing more than a husk after enduring such a nightmarish scenario. But that's not all.
Did you think you were exempt? No. You're naked as well, and with your arms spread out just like that man's. You know that while you're looking at his back, he's also looking at your back, as if the brick wall in front of him is a portal that only he can see into. And the toy that was in your snappycrack has already used it as an elevator. It's beginning. The tickle, that is. No! No! It tickles! No! No! Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Members of the armed forces put their lives on the line for the nation, so it’s only appropriate that the federal government does all it can to protect them from post-service psychiatric problems. President Donald Trump sent that message Tuesday with an executive order enhancing mental health services for recently discharged veterans. Suicide rates among former service members remain high, especially among those fresh out of uniform, and all reasonable efforts to stanch the epidemic are worth making.

Don't be too quick to blame. Some therapists refuse to treat anonymous cowards.
