Lmao, Black Hebrew Israelites are such a trip. I heard my mom listening to some video about a guy roping flat earth together with their whole credo from a Mark Sargent video he watched. I tune that out because gently caress that nonsense, but god, someone on here was saying that if you believe in one conspiracy theory you'll believe anything and that was the most apt thing about this whole trainwreck. They keep talking about God coming and wiping out all the Edomites and I can't imagine they'd be happy if that actually did happen, because then who could they be contrarian against on every topic?

From the part I had overheard they might be convinced that space isn't real because the sun being 93 million miles is absurd. Also I think I heard one part about the sun revolving around the Earth.

I wish there was a thread about them on here, every time the topic shifts to them in a thread it's always fun to read. I'm sure as hell not about to watch one of their boring rear end videos now or ever. I can't wait to hear about gravity not existing in a month, with the rate this is going now.

There are somehow eight eager internets where you can go find and get all the Jill Valentine porn you want if you could be assed to use google and yet here we are.

It's like being a woman to them just means having to be hot 24/7 from 5 to I dunno, 30? Is that too generous?

Oh right, I forgot I needed to be the IOSM about because I googled it but I wasn't sure which website to trust. 5G's still harmless to us since it's not as high on the radiation scale as micro and UV waves right?

It's basically rehashing the whole "mobile phones give you cancer" scare that's been going around the past thirty years. 5G is in the gigahertz range so is a little closer to the level where radiation gets really dangerous, but ionising radiation is typically in the petahertz or exahertz range.

5G can still heat body tissue, but you'd probably have to be within arms reach of a cell tower to get radiation burns, if that.

SiKboy posted:

Your mobile phone uses microwaves. Microwaves are lower frequency than visible light, and even the highest frequency 5G signals are lower frequency than infra red radiation (which is again lower frequency than visible light). Low frequency electromagnetic waves (eg light, and anything lower frequency than that) are low energy and non-ionising. High frequency electromagneticwaves (UV, X-Ray, Gamma) are dangerous because the are ionising (and so can cause cellular damage). Microwave ovens can heat food because they set up a standing wave which makes the water molecules in your food vibrate at the anti-nodes, causing heat through friction. I'm not going to go in to standing waves here but suffice to say your mobile phone network cant easily do that.

tldr; as far as we know 5G is totally harmless, yes.

Thanks for actually honestly answering my question, guys. I'm getting so much background nonsense- and some of it is actually based on a grain of truth that formed a pearl of bullshit- that I wasn't sure about any of the reasons for that one. Especially now with this Coronavirus pandemic and half our government being more worried about the economy dipping for a few months instead of the people who'll die from getting sick.

Newest one, if anyone happens to know about this, viruses get patented all the time right? Skipping past the whole created and released to cull the population blah blah blah, Illuminati shadowy government poo poo you've seen movies 50 times by now.

The frequencies start in the microwave region (which is also where wifi and a lot of existing mobile phone bands are already) and goes up to EHF, which is still miles short of even infrared and visible light. EMF doesn't get dangerous (in under-gigawatt powers) until you go all the way past visible light and into UVB.

e: I guess I'm the IoSM for not seeing that I was pages behind...

My dumb rear end was actually talking about microwave oven microwaves, since I thought if it were possible to run it while the door was open then that would be harmful to people.

Josef bugman posted:

I think a lot of the folks complaining about it want to make it important and obvious how you need to be "polite and reasonable" about the illness of someone in charge whereas when they poo poo on the poor and migrants, they should have free reign.

It's hypocrisy, a whole lot of it. Also I have never played any Final Fantasy game through to completion, and never 7 at all, is Barratt an okay character?



Barret Wallace is an enormous tank of a man that's supposedly standing somewhere at 6'4" to 6'6" but in reality looks more like 7' when in crowded areas. Along with being a man so built he'd fit into Street Fighter no problem and the first character who looks like he belongs in a different game he's also very passionate about his cause of saving the planet through direct action- basically being the head of a terrorist Cell named AVALANCHE that're doing their best to destroy Shinra reactors that're harvesting planet energy to keep the enormous city of Midgar running everyday.

It's very clear that it's having a negative effect on the environment: plants are dying and not growing at all, it's mutating monsters and making them more aggressive and powerful. And as to be expected by any megacorp with a full-scale monopoly, Shinra are relentlessly evil in all the ways you would expect from a video game and reality. Callous disregard for any possible casualties should their equipment fail, entire sectors of equipment left to fall into disrepair- monsters are building nests in the abandoned parts of their train tunnels. Barret's the one most focused on this mission of saving the planet by any means necessary and as someone angry at the failure by the people in charge to keep poo poo running, sometimes he's also angry at their use of propaganda to influence their image for the better while quietly loving up massively in other areas in the city.

Also I didn't mean the ResetEra comments were stupid, I meant the people in the twitter talking about them where.

Oh, tumblrites like furries and otherkin are mostly harmless, but there's supposedly left-leaning folks there who think it's super-cool and okay to bully someone into committing suicide because they cosplayed as a Crystal Gem while having the wrong body type or not being a person of color (IE, purple, I guess), draw porn of obviously underaged characters while raggedly panting "no she's totally 18, don't be a prude," or troll kiddy fandoms looking for minors to groom. Like, yeah, nazis are bad and should be SCOLDED HARSHLY*, but the tumblr crowd isn't without sin either.

Like, I was gonna post some of the old screencaps I took from back in the day before the Feminine-Presenting Nippleocalypse, but it's the kind of stuff Bird would prefer not be posted here so I'll respect her wishes.


*so the Powers That Be understand this is not a death threat

See, you say that but I still don't see how that's any different from Reddit, Youtube or Twitter so I don't get it. My main problem was that using tumblr was basically like being in school in a lot of ways. I didn't start fights with people and found things I liked and stuck with that and then I'd hear about this massive drama nuke that went down that I was totally oblivious to but a massive chunk of people are talking about like there was a meeting about it that I missed. So my experience was seeing someone drawing a neat picture of Smash Brothers characters in their downtime or something I thought had totally been memory holed like Kappa Mikey or some Hot Wheels racing show that I vaguely remember fanart.
