It really defies belief. They are selling PRE-ORDERS for a camera that doesn't yet exist, for a feature that doesn't yet exist, for a game that doesn't exist.

3 scam levels deep. That's a limbo.

proof that Crobberts watched Inception. Every new level of scam slows time/moves deadlines back/resets the "in development since"-counter

Uh, yeah, but do those cameras have HD lenses? Do they have HD monster cables, HD binding posts, HD monitor clamps, HD instruction manual, and HD warranty card information?

Yeah. I didn't think so.

He's polydactyl, has superfluous vertebrae & has literally more whiskers than a cat is entitled to have. I love my little old dude, had him for 15 years since I saw him on sale at a pet store in the mall, marked down since he was the last kitten in his litter.

Don't blame you. I've had some very special cats, generally because I always pick out the runts.

Your cat is secretly two cats in a trenchcoat, and has been fooling you and your vet for 15 years.

If instead of making this post you posted updates of how much funding CIG has received every hour for several pages it would be a lot more comedic and probably get more people to agree with you.

I just enjoy asking you which ships you have and you refusing to answer tbh.

I could explain in detail why this is funny to me but I'm aware my sense of humour is by no means normal.

If anyone else used to follow Bitcoin drama before finding SC, heads-up, Bitcoin is currently pulling off history's best example of a frictionless bubble. Check your usual sources.

I do wonder how much overlap there is between SC and Bitcoin adherents. The cargo cult mentality and amazing mental gymnastics are quite similar. Also, the misogyny. And kid-loving.

I found SC because of Bitcoin. It was that gif of a spaceship lazily falling over a ramp in the hangar, which got posted several times in the Bitcoin thread.

It's going nuclear stupid the last week, particularly today. Went from $6k two weeks ago, to touching $20k today.

People are cashing out somewhere. The huge miners are definitely getting money out, and they're probably colluding in a shadowy financial cabal, and painting the tape. If you're a commoner, good luck.
