I dunno. The US government could, if they cared, denote such obviously bad behavior to connections to those who support it.

She’s fucking tiny. She is. By the stats. That’s their sex appeal.

I agree with you so much... and I’d add that the bullshit idea of holisticas is just as much terrible.

But they aren’t.

That all said... I’m not happy. I want to see Jessica Jones... not what every half-bit “superhero” can do in their sleep.

Metacritic should be shut down. They provide no evidence their system is scientific, and even if such it is merely a means to monetize something they have no right to monetize.

The medallion system is broken in favor of those who control an artificially limited number of medallions which they get returns on for doing literally nothing but preventing competition. Anti-Trust is ripe for…

Except that by every legal definition, these are investments despite whatever non-legal nonsense KS puts in their non-binding TOS.

Hey do have liability because they’re an investment platform. They can put whatever they want in legally unenforceable TOS, but they facilitate the connection of businesses with micro-investors. Money provided is an investment by all legal definitions and one high-profile case will turn this whole world on its head.

People are, by definition, investing in a company. It won’t take long for business-friendly courts to identify that regardless of what is said by Kickstarter, they facilitate investment.
