aergoibqer··on Mark Cuban loses $870K in hot wallet hack
Remember how Cuban made his fortune. He didn't build something great. He built something worthless and pawned it off on the dumbest guys in the room at the peak of the dotcom bubble.

Maybe that takes smarts, but not a kind I value.

These military people are claiming other military people are lying and covering up evidence. So I guess it's a paradox, since no one in the military lies.

People aren't all that different no matter what group they join and no matter what values they espouse. Believing someone is above reproach just because they say they are is what let the Catholic Church get away with its atrocities for so long.

GIMBAL looks just like a jet aircraft on thermal camera.

GOFAST has been conclusively shown to be a slow-moving object at about 13,000 feet. It's simple geometry. We don't know what it is, exactly, but it's probably a balloon.

So GOFAST is probably a 3 or 4, while GIMBAL probably is a 6 or 7 but even more pedestrian.

>Bwahaha. Since when is business, or hell life in general fair?

Fatalism sounds wise but is not. Life is fairer than it used to be and can be fairer than it is now. We cannot end injustice, but we can end this injustice.

Besides, the US alleges crimes.

We have not even a single person directly involved in these supposed programs who is willing to testify.

We have not even a single video that isn't uselessly low-quality, clearly fake, or of something ordinary.

We have not even a single shred of physical evidence.

We just have the same thing we've always had: a bunch of people telling stories which cannot be verified, imply the existence of evidence they cannot produce, and which—purely coincidentally, I'm sure—make them famous. None of these stories has ever led to hard evidence.

Wake me up when you have something to show me. I will take any evidence beyond tall tales.
