04/30 - Tunnel Tuesday!

That's after my time.

 

It actually started around your time but likely not in your neighborhood.

 

I do use elastics in my hair. I found some that don't tangle much. I also really like those ones that look like old fashioned phone cords. I was positive those would tangle all to hell but nope, those slip right out of my hair easily. Wet, dry, or even after sleeping.

 

Update to that email thread shitshow the other day:

Hello, MTurk workers who have agreed to participate in my follow-up studies,

As many of you have noticed, I had made a mistake on not BCC'ing the contacts when contacting you via email asking the Amazon Worker IDs/participation intent. First, I apologize sincerely. It had been my first study in MTurk and made a silly, but a significant mistake.

For this reason, I decided to report myself to MTurk, and stop this study. I know I have promised some incentives for completing the full study, but it is against the rules to continue this study, and it will be delayed. If this study gets reapproved, I will let you know once again.

I am very sorry for your inconvenience, and the privacy issues I have mishandled.

Thank you again for helping the researchers around the world, and I hope you understand.
I wish you all a great day."

 

Sounds like a good kid, to be fair.

 

I agree, but found the reporting himself to MTurk thing to be weird AF. What

 

He's probably just doing what he thinks is the right thing so that his requester account doesn't get entirely canned.

Mturk is going to respond with,
"Hello, I am Ramish Patel. How may I help you today? Can you start off by telling me your order number and a brief description of the shipping delay?"

 

actually I have no idea if mturk customer service is actually as bad as I hear. I hear it's nonexistent, but i don't actually know what i'm talking about

 

Finally you admit it

 

The few times I've had to deal with an actual live agent, it was pretty smooth.

 

I admit it often tbh

I seriously have no idea what I'm ever talking about.

But thankfully this is the internet, where I fit in by regurgitating falsehoods

 

It isn't as bad as you hear, it is worse.

That is for amazon.com and not mturk though. The only support line for mturk is email.

actual amazon customer service is top notch for packages and stuff

 

But getting those packages to you? You better hope that it wasn't actually shipped by amazon as they suck at that.
