09/17 - Tardy Tuesday

i miss CT rants so much. i also still wait for the time i can throw your xenophobia back in your face.

i was cleaning up my email the other day and ran across some old hangouts chats. i don't think you'll kill me for posting this:

 

tl;dr --

People were Grinching about/to some requester about crappy layouts.
CT offered requester suggestion.
Requester came back with "If you would be willing to redesign, we'll pay you."
THFYM didn't read context, just saw "MONEY" and offered to help, not realizing it was a targeted offer.

**days pass, with CT lying in wait with his screenshotted evidence of THFYM being a cranky Sue.**

${regular_forum_dumbass} would legitimately not stop talking about a new batch (baseline).
THFYM says something to the effect of "shut the fuck up, because you're taking money out of MY pocket."
CT quotes "taking money out of MY pocket" and proceeds to display the screenshot evidence like a scorned ex.

Hi Tamela

Thank you for your e-mail.

I had a review of your survey, unfortunately, you completed the Simulated Task in less than two minutes - this is not possible given that you had to read the instructions of each characteristic and complete the 11 choice tasks. The code is a way to filter out those who had sped through the tasks; because of that, you were not able to proceed with the study. The study should take about 30 minutes to complete, and the incentive is for the time allocated.

I do apologise for the inconvenience caused.


Kind regards
Kevin
fuck off Kevin that's not how it works, that's now how any of it works.

 

See this is funny. How was this not taken as hilarious?

 

These are the same words one would use to complain about me, in a slightly different order.

That's more like it.

 

Do you have that image bookmarked or something?

@slothbear thanks again for that script. I had forgotten how much easier mturk is when the submit button is reachable.

 

Nope, first I have to refresh to see the post, then I have to open a tab for google, then I search "tamale gif", then I search "tamale gif george costanza", then I look the for the gif version for 30 seconds, then I settle on the image.

Don't insult me like I'd be doing this in a 2019 kind of way.

Approved! ​

Pros:
Interesting

Cons:
Sometimes takes a while to make a careful guess on price. I obviously spend a lot more time than other people. Requestor is a bit rude - talks to turkers like you are 6 years old.
