This is hands down the most atrocious news article I have ever seen. It refers to "the allegations" like a dozen times but if it ever mentions what the allegations are I must have missed it amongst all the mentions of unspecific allegations.

Why waste the grease? You can use a turkey baster to siphon it all up and extract THC from already vaped bud to make an ultra potent butter substitute. It tastes like unwashed grandma but it'll rocket you into God's own armpit with thirty thousand volts of hell yes.

I checked out the Ritot SmartWatch page again and they're still holding fast to late Winter early Spring 2015 delivery date, even though a prototype hasn't been built. And they're making apps for iOS, Android, and Windows Phone. There, right there. That's proof it's fake.

I'm just wondering if they're even going to try and fake a prototype to string along contributors.

Ritot became a 'Forever Funding' page which means, yes, they can keep getting money off dolts...forever! Now up to $1.4m!

There's a discussion going in the comments where people keep asking over and over where the prototype is and Ritot keeps whining about their bank delaying funds.

What I don't get is forever funding hasn't gotten them any extra money. Unless there's money going out in refunds being replaced in new suckers. I think they've been stuck at 1.4 million since before the original pledge drive ended.

And they posted a picture proving their watch's projector can be viewed in daylight using a box the size of a Roku while...indoors.

If the bank is delaying funds its because everyone involved in this knows its a huge scam and they're just trying to figure out a way to transfer funds without incurring any liability.

I figured the bank is delaying funding thing is just part of the scam, IE: "hey guys we tried but the banks hosed us over, sorry."

And then they disappear with a million dollars, which if they're still in the Ukraine would probably mean they're setup for life if they don't gently caress up with it or the country doesn't fall apart even more when Putin Annexes another part of it.

Better than a crowbar.
Chunky gal shames people who might have accidentally glanced in her direction while taking selfies, the picture book. Naturally it's been funded already.

I get the idea behind this pitch, but some of the example photos look like she happened to catch someone while they were talking, or weren't even looking at her. But she ain't gonna let that stop her from shaming them. The pitch sounds more desperate for attention than empowering. And I'm still not buying the fact that most of these people in the pictures are even looking at her. The title picture looks staged. And besides which, if you set up a camera to take pictures of yourself in one of the densest pedestrian spots on the face of the Earth, how could you not expect people to occasionally gently caress with your shot?

But keep fighting the good fight lady. Here's 20k for your troubles.

Edit: poo poo, the last time I was in Time's Square I saw lots of fat people, so I don't know why she thinks she even stands out at all.

A woman just got national press for making a video where a few black :airquote:threatening:airquote: men say "hello" to her as she walks down the street in one of the most populated and foot traffic-heavy cities on earth, these people like to feel outraged and act like they're making a difference but are too afraid to leave their token multicultural bastion of safety and acceptance.

I figure there's pretty good odds that if she does get busted for faking it and/or the attention on her dries up she'll admit that some pictures were faked but that she did it to "raise awareness".

Please tell me this is a fakepost and you aren't seriously implying that men were just saying 'hello' to her.
