Then again, maybe the current trend is retro. Doesn't mean it will be tomorrow, though. hipster is a term for a specific subculture, not just a term for "hip people."

Modern hipsters started as the bohemian quasi-European subculture in New York City's West Village and Greenwich Village, mixed with similar subcultures in working class London neighborhoods where the new generation of young tech and media workers moved in. It really was "hip" in the Villages to be in that bohemian lifestyle, and like many NYC cultures it became popular enough to spread.

She doesn't, she likes a flat facsimile of antiques without the hassle of actually caring about antique poo poo.

I hope the Batman short story is about how Bruce Wayne can't afford to buy out the evil shareholders of Wayne Enterprises so he resorts to crowdfunding to save the day. One of his rewards is "I'll reveal who Batman is"

 Is your overpriced laptop not attracting attention anymore? Is only having to carry the laptop too convenient? Well for only $75 at retail price you too can balance your tech on a high stand so everyone can see it. Benefits include: Having to now carry about a keyboard and mouse Watching as it all topples over as someone walks past with a wide bag and clips it

Do you have an unhealthy obsession with chili and need to carry it around with you everywhere? Well you're in luck! Absolutely not this, or this, or one of the hundreds of others. Still, raised $1200 so far on flexible funding, so I guess the makers aren't idiots at least.

Waffleman_ posted:A card game Kickstarter was ordered by Washington state court to pay restitution and damages for failing to deliver its product. Mmm, delicious failure. Hopefully this'll set a precedent for other awful kickstarters. quote:The judgement, filed in a county superior court, awards each of the 31 Washington state backers restitution in the amount of $668. Additionally, Polchlopek and Altius Management must pay $31,000 in civil penalties for violating the state Consumer Protection Act — $1,000 per backer. They are also required to pay $23,183 to cover the state's court costs. Considering they only raised $25K...  And did they even pay for the Bicycle trademark? I guess they did.
