As News 5 Cleveland reports, the unnamed Westlake, Ohio woman is part of the city's "Are You Okay?" police program. Members of the program receive daily calls to confirm their wellbeing – a godsend for elderly or disabled people living alone, for instance.

"If the call is not answered, the Police Department is notified and an officer is dispatched to the home to conduct a personal check-in visit," the Westlake police department's website explains.

This woman doesnt need cops. She needs multiplayer.

!gaming is a community for gaming noobs through gaming aficionados. Unlike !games, we don’t take ourselves quite as serious. Shitposts and memes are welcome.

Our Rules:

1. Keep it civil.

Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.

2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.

I should not need to explain this one.

3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.

Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.

4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.

Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
