Build it, don't turn it on, watch all the residents complain about new ailments and conditions caused by the 5G.

Reveal that it's never even been powered to really hammer home their ignorant bullshit.

The cognitively impaired should not be able to do this sort of shit.

Jesus, an entire town falling for unscientific bullshit.

It's also not like they're going to point the antennas straight down at the school. They have directionality. I bet not one RF engineer was consulted.

I'd like to walk these people through the school with an inductive amplifier probe and let them hear the 60hz hum and its harmonics permeating every hallway and classroom.

My 5G coverage isn't good, it may be time for another COVID shot.

Ok now everyone put your magnetized needles in the Styrofoam and then make them float in the water to reveal where magnetic north is!

Ahh teacher... Magnetic north is dancing metal rock right now.

Thank god I'm safe! And I will be dead and gone before it happens here. It's going to be decades before 5G is implemented where I live. Hell, 4G is spotty and unreliable even yet today. Even 3G was terrible.

My issue with Verizon 5g is that it is worse than their old Edge service.

5g on my signal bar essentially means "doesn't work." It wasn't an issue when I could turn off the 5g radio, but Samsung pushed an update that removed that option.

This is hilarious, a win-win in my book. I get to laugh at the ridiculous claim about radio waves frying people's brains or whatever, and at the same time, every day of stalling hurts an exploitive POS telecom company.

I'm rooting for the loonies! Protect our kids! You show those lizard people!

Lol.

But T-Mobile is less bad the other telecoms. The enemy of my enemy and all that.

Not so much anymore after kicking a bunch of people off their plans when they had guaranteed pricing along with a bunch of other shitty shenanigans they've been up to as of late. I've been a customer for close to 20 years but am thinking about jumping ship as of late.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

I actually use a T-Mobile MVNO, so I don't have experience with their customer service.

They seem to have the biggest variety of options for resellers, so if you like the coverage but not the customer service, you have options.

It's those got damn lizard people

How does anyone become sensitive to a 5g wireless signal? I could see maybe z pscemaker or some kind brain stimulator device but just a bare bones corpus delecti would seem to be known early enough to decide not to live near the broadcaster

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

Not enough attention as a child, wants to get on TV, cant accept that their shit diet and aging means they dont feel like a 21 year old anymore.

Maybe all three.

Stupid and uneducated people not fit for modern society that get exposed to raw internet tend to be the most vulnerable group.

The planning board's decision was based on health concerns due to the possible negative environmental impact of telecommunication on the residents, especially the children studying at the school who could potentially be exposed to electromagnetic radiation.

Because that surely would be the only cell tower in town.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

I wonder what the wifi access in the school is like?

Oh no, not electromagnetism! Someone tell these dipshits we live on a gigantic magnet

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Also tell them we're constantly bombarded by electromagnetic radiation on the daily from the fucking sun

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

And every room has electromagnetic emitters blazing on the ceiling

[–] [email protected] 19 points 4 months ago

They are missing out on a chance to get their free 5G magnetic mark of the beast skin
