Picnic Princess posted:You'd think with making over $6 million with a $15,000 goal they could pay for the shipping themselves. Except they made that by having people order a lot of units, which each need to be shipped. It's not like they got $6M for $15K worth of cubes.

I backed the Fidget Cube and saw that tattoo in their like, update email or whatever  Motherfuckers your company just made 6M when you expected 15K, and you can't shell out for a decent tattoo? Ffs.

The understood function of switches and buttons is to produce an effect elsewhere within their own system. These buttons aren't connected to anything except other buttons which reciprocate the effect endlessly. Thus, nothing of value is produced by the action of pushing the button. You can click a pen endlessly too, but nobody in the history of anything ever has defended that action as having a point, and at least that has a function beyond simply being there to click.

As Goodness said, this object is 'connected' to something. Each click, flick, press, spin, fiddle or whatever is psychologically linked to the operator, and each action they impart on the device helps them focus on the more important matter they are facing at that time. If you want to just say you don't believe this stuff has a purpose then come out and say that, but your opinion would be flat out wrong. I'm lucky enough that I don't suffer with such a condition but can still appreciate how this can and will have a positive effect on those that actually benefit from it and not just those buying it to have the new and hip executive toy.

Another thing is those fidget spinner toy things (SFTMDesign on etsy, shameless plug) that people got into recently. I don't see the appeal, but a lot of folks do and even say they help with anxiety etc.

I don't see the appeal, but a lot of folks do and even say they help with anxiety etc. These got brought up in the recent purchases thread during a similar argument about fidget cubes. They seem cooler but I'm too lazy to make my own and too cheap to pay for them. sleppy posted:I'm not fidgety enough to buy a toy specifically for that, but these things popped up on youtube and looked like fun to play with, so I googled the name.

super size soft serve posted:drat, I wanted to get one of those cubes based on the posts above, but the loving shipping is as expensive as the thing itself. Just wait for a real company to buy them out or get a knockoff from AliExpress. That cooler with the blender and poo poo cost $400 from the kickstarter people but $180 from amazon, and the latter shipped before the former did.

I literally didn't consider that anyone would play with one of those things in front of other people. But to end a dumb derail, here is a dumb tattoo:  It is the beginning of a.........I don't remember. It was a cut-n-ink scarification piece that I started on when I was like 19. The girl who was doing the cutting thought her roommate was out of town for the night but nope so we had to stop and it never got finished. Drugs are a hell of a drug, be careful out there kids.
