oh my gosh please stop.

Is an old kickstarter okay? Who is dating my Daughter: a teen dating website controlled by parents.



two whole dollars :patriot: solid try, Joe Scott.

At first, I assumed the idea here was "like OKCupid, but with parents/chaperones supervising site activity," which is dreadful -- but no, this is actually like Yelp if it let you review teenage boys. Can you imagine the loving comment culture this idea could have spawned?

I confess to skimming, but I wonder if the porn artists who are commissioned are okay with their at being resold to others, so to speak. It's like those 'groupon' deals where everyone benefits except the seller.

The dude mentions that this is only for "public" commissions, so presumably this is stuff being posted publicly in general.

PROTIP: don't be like me and check out this dude's galleries! When he says "this stuff wouldn't exist if I wasn't commissioning it," there's a reason. ugggggh

Also, on the shoe one as far as I can tell you only get 1 shoe for 75 bucks. Unless it's just awful phrasing.

RISKS AND CHALLENGES:
We need to do market research to figure out how many shoes people expect as a single unit of shoe-buying

I honestly don't think they're awful either, aside from the name. But my lovely and wise other half gave a firm veto.

Seriously, take it from the women who have already posted in this thread: wearing a one-piece romper is a logistical nightmare if you're planning on using the bathroom at any point that day. Even if those things were the most stylish things on Earth (which they are not), not goddamn worth it.

Really, compared to most of the things you can buy to communicate "I am an unpleasant person and interacting with me is not worth your time," a $5 novelty coin with a picture of a making GBS threads dog on it is a bargain.

I still can't figure out who could possibly need or want that automatic tooth-brushing rig. Maybe it would be useful for people with disabilities that limit their manual dexterity? But that Kickstarter is so focused on BRUSHING YOUR TEETH IS HARD AND TEDIOUS when it's, what, maybe ten minutes a day? I can't imagine any time savings would make up for having to wrangle with that goddamn orthodontic rig and proprietary toothpaste pods, even if it did an amazing job and was in business long enough that I could reliably keep buying replacement pods instead of the company inevitably dying within three months of Kickstarter delivery, if Kickstarter delivery happens at all.

I mean, it's neither, but it's a waste of perfectly good 5 minutes I'd have otherwise.

Not backing that... thing, but just saying.

I dunno. I mean... brushing my teeth isn't like the high point of my day, but it's a pretty inoffensive few minutes in the morning and a few minutes at night. Yes, technically I could spend those minutes shitposting, but who cares? I know half of Kickstarter these days is about trying to convince the Internet that some basic daily task is what's standing between you and ultimate self-actualization, but Christ, just do basic dental hygiene. It's not hard, it doesn't take long, just goddamn do it. I somehow have less sympathy for the market for this thing than I do the people who can't figure out how to make tortillas without a proprietary pod thing, and that's a low-rear end bar.

Also at some point she invites a guest speaker who turns out to be an anti-Semitic homophobe, and she keeps defending him at length for days/maybe weeks. This woman finds every possible way to gently caress up.

I'm trying to think of something less sexy than "roll a d20 to determine which sex act you have to perform to resurrect your dead roleplaying character," and it mostly involves having to do that while playing a pornographic Grinch parody, so the game has me covered
