12/27 - Thriving Thursday!

you forgot your TF2 badge

 

Did you watch the Simpsons back in the day? they used it a lot

 

You sure that isn't just the Canadian dub?

 

Not really. Back when it was in it's day I was too poor to have any television, lol.

The only "eh" I can consciously remember being used is from my Grandparents and their "eh" was more "what did you say? I'm deaf and didn't hear you."

 

It's not ok to love murder.......unless the victim had purdy skin and the little voice demanded it

 

Don't have a cow, eh?

 

My family has always said "hey" at the end of sentences. They come from the upper peninsula, so maybe that's why? dunno

It's almost like an eh, but it's closer to a hey

like, "so you flunked English again, hey?"

 

So you're a pretty shitty talker, eh?

 

I hate murder, lol (surprise surprise). I am fascinated by the people who commit crimes that make most of us cringe.

The brain, how it works, their justifications, all of it. Fascinating. I could listen to Ed Kemper interviews all day long.

I'm pissed they killed Ted Bundy before we could get more out of him (and he would have eventually spewed forth information just for the attention).

I would love to be an FBI profiler.

Murder makes me vomit.

 

more c-sat training

 

Yeah, it was nice to get the internet and find out I wasn't the only one into that stuff and I wasn't a freak. Or I was a freak, but there were a lot of other freaks out there.

 

Can't do c-sats.

Have looked at many a crime scene photo without flinching.

My own brain fascinates me when I think of that.

(Can't look at crime scenes involving kids, tho. But even people who do look at crime scenes can't really deal with kids.)

 

This is usually how it goes. It's both the best thing and the worst thing about the Internet.

 

Should have seen the looks I got in Berkeley used book stores in the 90s as I dumped my pile of books on the counter to buy. I swear some started slowly backing away in fear. My ex would always say softly, "She's a psychology major" to chill them out if they displayed shock.

I read a lot of case studies on horrific abuse and how to help people with that, too. And how to prevent the generations from perpetuating the abuse.

 

the only time i have fainted about something like that has been fresh surgery cuts on me when replacing bandages

 

I feel that way whenever I talk about liking true crime. I know it's a pretty common interest, but it never doesn't feel creepy unless I'm talking to other people who understand.

When I was somewhere around 8-10, I bought a box of books at a garage sale and it included a Jack the Ripper book and I've been hooked ever since. My dad was fine with it because he knew I wasn't nutso, but was like "Umm, just don't talk to people about it." I go to concerts up in Milwaukee because it's cheaper/easier than going to the city, and the venue is right across the street from a place Dahmer committed one of his murders (his first, iirc), and I lowkey in my brain every time and try not to tell everyone I'm with "YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENED OVER THERE?!?"

If you don't follow it already, you should check out the podcast My Favorite Murder. You'd love it.

 

Hey, I am the requester for these HITs (the Cereal Bar game qual). Sorry that you guys are having negative experiences with the qual.

Could you share where these reviews are from?

We haven't been getting feedback like this in our "Feedback" text box, so it would be nice if we could keep up to date on what you guys think wherever discussion is happening. Some workers have shared technical issues, but we have been able to sort them out when emailed (unfortunately I think I worded the "minimum requirements" poorly -- it lists the necessary, bare minimum requirements according to Unity's docs, but even with those the game unfortunately may not work very well.)

We are planning to release the full version of the game by early next week. (These will be early testing HITs, and we will sort out the payment based on how long games last. We will try to stabilize at around $15/hr for the game HITs.)

Edit: also I'm happy to chat about these HITs if there are any concerns or feedback, etc.

Thank you!
A.
