It’s probably just a bad photo, but the only time I ever looked like that is when I had anemia :ohdear:

Maybe its exaggerated by the fact that everything else is white in that picture. The cups, the walls, the sunlight on the window and her shirt

Like everything else about how they choose to enforce their rules I'm fairly sure that how much money a campaign has attracted plays a role in whether or not they remove them.

One important difference. They're now making it in pink and marketing it to women. A whole new demographic to scam!

To be fair, I've never seen a thermos with a threaded base to allow you to gradually elevate a burrito as you eat it. Granted, that's also never been something I've wanted or needed.

Join Our Member-Supported Network

As a self-funded, non-profit initiative with a focus on collective learning, we want to create a member-supported network, built in a sustainable way. This is why the Knowledge Exchange Programme will rely on a simple, annual paid membership model equivalent to €20/month (to be paid annually: €240 including 21% VAT).

I wasn't aware that Kickstarter allowed organizations to advertise in this way on their platform. "Back us for the equivalent of a single month's subscription and then pay for a whole year upfront!"

Looks like it is a series of online seminars about "the digital economy" but, uh... there's very little mention of what they think about it. Will the seminars just be about setting up your own cryptomining rigs and how to best market NFTs?

A few years back, Youtube inventor Allen Pan made a working “lightsaber”. An Indiegogo rear end in a top hat entrepreneur stole his idea to make a project that’s 50% scam, 50% death trap.

That's a proclick - a Kickstarter that simultaneously rips off someone else's idea, scams the backers, is a lazy implementation and dangerous.

The reason they say the company is located in LA is the same reason why Indian tech support scammers say they work in Texas or Burmingham and all have fake Western sounding names. There is a partially correct assumption that Westerners would trust a Paul Johnson, even if they have an obvious Indian accent, more than a Rudransh Singh. Or a Petro Daineko in this case. You also don't want to distract the mark from the scam. Instead of looking up where Dnipro is or how much delivery from Ukraine would cost, the victim, lulled by the familiar locale, is supposed buy the product without a second thought.

Wow. I mean I knew it would be lovely that they knocked it off, but the fact that the knockoff design is THIS incompetent is downright amazing.

He built a well engineered hack-saber that used a pump and regulator and all kinds of stuff.

These clowns decide to build a methanol super-soaker inside a 3d-printed shell. This thing could seriously kill you just for trying to use it.
