Fake phone app that looks exactly the same. Or literally just a video. Or even just visual effects, with the phone being a green screen.

Movie Magic

They could just not show them pushing the buttons. Just go "beep boop boop" "hello 911 what is your emergency"

For 911 calls, and most calls actually, they almost never show the screen of the phone being dialled anyway. They just show the actor tapping at the phone vaguely while the camera shows them from the side or the back with an intense expression, and then suddenly they hold it up to their ear and then they act like they're talking to 911.

And if for some reason they really do have to show the screen, they will just use a non-functional phone with a fake app or graphical effects in post-production, the same way they make ghosts and dragons appear and spaceships come crashing out of the sky, etc. A phone screen is a trivial effort to fake.

"First world" was a Cold War era term, where "first world" is America-aligned nations (so by definition, that would include the U.S.), "second world" was Soviet-sligned (no longer really in use since the Soviets no longer exist), and third world was everybody who didn't pick a side (so China after Sino-Soviet split, India, Brazil, etc.)

Most organisations use the more neutral terms "developed" and "developing", and the U.S. is definitely a developed nation (there are less binary terms that economists and such use to categorise even further that you could look into, just check the organisation who runs it since many can be biased towards certain things compared to others)

That's not the definition of first world... Switzerland is a third world country by definition

"First world" just mean the states that were America-aligned (so by definition, the U.S. goes here).

The "world" term is stupid and nobody should use it anymore (it implies that "third world" countries are lesser than America's allies)

Developing / developed economies is what more people use nowadays, and the U.S. would be classified as developed, though a binary is still not too helpful given there are lots of in-betweeens (the big elephant in the room, China, argues it should remain classified as a developing nation because, as it turns out, there is wealth inequality there too + billionaires taking too much of the pie, so a large chunk of people still live under conditions closer to developing countries, while others say that China should be a developed nation given they have the second strongest economy)

Anytime I see “language is always evolving” it’s always to excuse someone using language wrong

Evolution is “god be with you” turning into goodbye, not redefining a word to fit your definition instead 😭

My second paragraph wasn't meant to imply you said it was meant to talk about the term and how its used like how plantfanatic did.

Yeah "developing country" is probably best. Being American, "Global South" always reminds me of the southern US, which if it were independent would also be considered a developing country.

Good! 🤩

Thankfully, it was "my own" back when, and I was avidly part of said removal efforts. Anecdotal, sure, but first-hand. ✊🏼

Also, I fixed it, thanks!

Yeah, I know. 😔I just hate pedophiles a whole extra a lot. You can’t trust government to even deliver the mail on time anymore let alone decide who gets capital punishment. I know. I get the disconnect between wanting some criminals to be tortured and live streamed and forgetting who would be charged with carrying it out. Sorry about that.
