Sagebrush posted:honestly that just makes me feel lovely. so what if it's a dumb product -- they are getting totally hosed over by a country that just doesn't give two shits about western codes of ethics. they did a successful ks, they're going to deliver even if there's alternatives, everyone's happy? not like the stupid cooler where they couldn't make the volume and the amazon knock-off was available for non-backers with much more regularity, not like the OTS bikes that were marked way up and eventually outed as a scam. is it really such a tragedy that a KS can succeed without turning into a "4 hour work week" business?

Nah I feel like I'm watching someone camp a spawn point and snipe all the newbs that actually manage to make it out the tunnel labeled THIS IS HOW YOU MAKE IT while everyone goes "lol another one lololo" & meanwhile on goes the meat grinder. Now people are going to let me know how exactly that analogy breaks down but it really just makes me kind of sad ok

"The essence of a woman in a bottle of beer." No three guesses needed as to essence or where they are getting the lactobacillus from. The reward tree and the description of the entire thing is putting me at more of a loss for words than the mower lights did.

guys. the wiley chinaman is making a mockery of the honorable western patent system. if this keeps up then soon no honest europeans will publicly beg the internet to fund the tchachkis that serious venture capitalists have passed up in favor of pouring billions into tiny bitcoin computers. meanwhile an inscrutable chinese internet store will let you buy something by clicking just one time and jeff bezos will be so pissed, just so, so pissed

JawnV6 posted:when was it ever though? what's the 2005 example of a guy who made it out of the tunnel that's now getting sniped by china? I'm not saying (and I ain't gonna try to convince anyone) that there was some golden age of the American Dream that we're missing out on, especially not when we have more tools and opportunity to take ideas to the races than anyone had 10+ (or even five) years ago. It is an accomplishment all in itself to come up with something people actually want to buy. Not use, not understand, but BUY. It's not easy and if you managed it -- even if there was luck or right-time-right-place-right-daddy-right-last-name or w/e involved -- I guess I just find it a downer when you aren't able to capitalize on a feasible idea you actually brought to existence because your worst sin was not "bought a house instead of parts with the campaign money" and it wasn't "$20k celebratory trip to vegas", the worst sin was just being in over your head or outmaneuvered or not able to see the future or whatever. On top of it all there's this gleeful kind of "lol got what they deserved" attitude. It's a downer.

thats a little misleading since they've put a $1.00 childs sticker in the dropdown or something to make the price look lower. $7.50 though, ouch. I just added the $3 keychain frame earlier this week when the survey came out.
