@michael@lemmy.perthchat.org avatar

The blue door, because money can’t buy me the time back. It’s priceless.

Also I could just buy BTC at $2 a piece and make the 10 mill as well. So it’s win-win.

Fjaeger ,

I’d even say, im hindsight it was a mistake not to buy bitcoin back then.

Corkyskog ,

It was $2 because most people didn’t know what it was yet.

ErwinLottemann ,

It was even lower than 2€ earlier

I strongly considered buying a single bitcoin for $700. I was irrational with money bit it seemed like a good idea. I decided I was being dumb with my money again and didnt go through with it.

It would have been worth it. Even at $700 it would have been worth it.

InternetUser2012 ,

I was going to buy $100.00 worth back when it was 36 cents. I couldn’t figure out how to buy it and then my car broke down and that was that.

People eventually buy Bitcoin at the price they deserve, they say

Skelectrician ,

I think that kind of goes for anything in a market economy. Client wants item that vendor has for sale, vendor and client negotiate a price.

new_acct_who_dis ,

I went through the same thing, but I think it was multiple for 50. Total.

However, it was college loan money and I thought that would be too irresponsible to spend 50 on something like that.

Shit

Bye ,

$2? I’d go back to 2012 or whatever and mine it using free electricity in grad school. Hell I’d use their cluster, call the slurm job something like “orbital_freq_prime_factors”

And I’d break up with my college girlfriend

And I’d bring my doctoral dissertation back in time so I didn’t have to write it

Even if the bitcoins didn’t work out, maybe I could buy Pokémon cards for cheap and sell them

EpeeGnome , in Part of a balanced diet

Oh no, I’m not falling for that idea again. I’ve learned the hard way (multiple times) that I will regret more than about 20 olives in one go. Too much salt for me.

UnculturedSwine , (edited ) in Well...that was anticlimactic

the government just confirmed aliens are real another hack job with government connections is claiming that he was told by government official that alien “biologics” and space craft were recovered by the government without being able to provide evidence or details because it is “classified”

What a nothingburger

Nabs ,

Except his documents were all routed through the Intel Community Inspector General who sent them to congress calling them “urgent and credible.”

And his lawyers are former Inspector Generals.

You say this just because he didnt post things to wikileaks and defect to russia.

The mans trying to make sure he doesnt go to prison.

TropicalDingdong ,

The mans trying to make sure he doesnt go to prison.

He’s also clearly operating in such a way that this doesn’t get buried. People dismissing this lack an understanding of how things work in large bureaucracies/ have a fantasy version of how they think the world should work.

And how lucky, that this applies to you huh? Having secret knowledge feels pretty good, I bet.

atzanteol ,

Only those who are willing to connect dots that shouldn’t be connected. It’s the same old conspiracy BS we’ve heard for decades.

rebelappliance ,

So much has come out already, but only for those who have eyes to see and ears to hear.

When people say these kinds of platitudes what they really mean is they love jumping to conclusions based on flimsy evidence and then judge others for not doing so because they’re “programmed” or whatever.

CountZero ,

I wish more than anything that there was evidence of alien life that I could see with my eyes or hear with my ears. For now, we just have some dude saying things with no real evidence.

Kaliax ,

Sure thing, Dingdong.

reverendsteveii ,

you know another phrase for “truth that is only for those who have eyes to see and ears to hear”?

cult bullshit.

mamaMiata ,

Do you have some sources? Every time I’ve tried to look into it, I get garbage articles and no real information.

Puppy ,
@Puppy@kbin.social avatar

Because the informations are hearsays from one man that may or may not be credible.

Basically it's a premium "trust me bro"

For some it's enough, for the majority it's just another disappointing nothingburger

Yeah, pics or it didn’t happen… oh wait, we can literally generate the pics now… shit. Guess we’re out here in the wild west these days…

Nabs ,

You didnt read my comment.

If the man “posted pics” he’d be risking his freedom and family’s future.

He was found credible by not only his lawyers but the inspector general so much so that his complaint was levelied to congress.

thedebrief.org/fact-check-q-a-with-debrief-co-fou…

This is the site that ran the original article prior to in televised interview.

This is part 1 of the fact checking / vetting they did on the whistleblower.

Edit: grammar.

“Fact checked” by some crackpot website lmao

Pelicanen ,

So that says nothing about the information itself but rather just goes on about credentials and employment, with a tidbit about not leaking classified information. It does not provide any justification as to why this person’s claims should be believed rather than just “he worked there”.

Nabs ,

It does, the IG that reviewed his case found it to be “urgent and credible” enough to be forwarded to congress.

Again, the man can’t & shouldnt, go full snowden where he just dumps his load and defects to Russia, forsaking his or his family’s future.

So that leaves us in the position of, hey, this guy has a record of credibility and others whove reviewed what he has say its credible and urgent.

It is up to congress to investigate and then declassify.

Pelicanen , (edited )

The information doesn’t have to be evidence of aliens existing to be “urgent and credible”, the statement says “The ICIG found Mr. Grusch’s assertion that information was inappropriately concealed from Congress to be urgent and credible in response to the filed disclosure.” which could mean it can just be about the organizational structure of the agencies, for example.

And I wasn’t going to mention it but this is the second time you bring up Snowden, who neither “[dumped] his load” nor “defected to Russia”. He released information to journalists that the US government was illegally spying on its own citizens as well as its allies in a much broader way than anyone outside imagined. He was then stuck at an airport in Russia because the US government revoked his passport during a flight that landed there. He has repeatedly asked for a fair, public trial instead of being put in a dark box at Guantanamo and received no agreement of that from the US government so he’s stayed in one of the only places where he won’t be extradited to a country that intends to make him disappear. Since then, he’s criticized authoritarianism and governmental overreach while living in one of the most brutal dictatorships on earth, which takes more balls than either of us have.

Galtiel ,

But if I can’t needlessly denigrate Mr Snowden, how am I gonna convince you that Men in Black was a documentary about the real aliens that are real and really landed on Earth and work (for real) with the US government?

With credible evidence? But I don’t have any because my guy is so much better than Edward Snowed-in off in Russia!

mamaMiata ,

Thanks for the link. I was more interested in the original article here that focused on what exactly was revealed.

I’m skeptical with the fact that non-human made artifacts and entire crafts were recovered, especially since no one except extremely secret organizations currently have these materials.

The fact that a well respected member of the intelligence community backed by other well respected members has made come out with these statements does raise eyebrows.

With all that said, the debrief does seem like a credible source of information, and I’m curious to see what this evolves into if other active members of the intelligence community continue to whistleblow on alleged illegal activity.

reverendsteveii ,

he didn’t even say alien. “alien biologics” while meaningless, was a stronger assertion than he was willing to make. he said “non-human biologics”, which could mean anything from aliens to there was some grass there. he just left it vague and then people like OP who want the truth but also know exactly what they want the truth to be filled in the details using the twin powers of guessing and lying.

captainlezbian ,

And important to note: we’ve sent dogs to die in space

captainlezbian ,

Yeah this claim is extraordinary and requires evidence equally so

Sometimes when I’m backed up having a way to clear the pipes is nice. There are few things I enjoy more than a blast from the ass.

Jay , in Well...that was anticlimactic

I care! Or at least I’m interested… What happened?

UnculturedSwine ,

Someone with government connections is claiming things that he can’t back up with evidence. Nobody cares because “the government” didn’t confirm shit. Even the guy making the claim said he couldn’t talk about it because it’s classified.

sparky678348 ,

Audit the military : find the aliens

PenguinJuice ,

I mean, we did see footage of something out there. Confirmed by multiple different technologies. Just, don't know what it is. Wish we had more answers

Dark_Lords_Servant ,

Wasn’t that just like a bird, or a hot air balloon? They commonly get mistaken for alien aircraft, because they don’t have jets…

Froyn ,

I believe the lack of charges for lying to Congress does lend a little credibility to the story he tells.

UnculturedSwine ,

Admittedly I’m a bit cynical. I really won’t believe it until I see substantial evidence.

nac82 ,

He claimed he heard somebody say something.

How the fuck is a prosecution going to disprove that?

His claims aren’t real enough for people to call it lies, the very same reason why sensible people don’t find what he said worth anything on its own.

VoxAdActa ,
@VoxAdActa@kbin.social avatar

I believe the lack of charges for lying to Congress does lend a little credibility to the story he tells.

The tobacco execs who testified to Congress that nicotine was harmless and non-addictive didn't get charges, either. Does that lend credibility to the claim that cigarettes are good for you?

Fuck no, it doesn't. Because nobody has ever been charged for lying to Congress. Even when they've been bald-faced directly lying to Congress.

Nahvi ,

For that matter Zuckerberg and the exec from Tik Tok are both walking free.

sarsaparilyptus ,

Fuck all, just more rumors and innuendo from some jackass that won’t back it up

The aliens are real and they look like little red astronauts with a single half reflective spherical visor and floating hands. They came to me and beamed me up into there spaceship. Afterwards one of the aliens was found dead and after that they ejected another out into space.
