I watch Rick and Morty, but I'm an idiot!

 

I'm speaking in context of the TO system and not number of workers overall. If you're a genius, I'm a genius.

 

Good morning Dudes and Dudettes

 

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Rick and Morty. The humour is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the jokes will go over a typical viewer’s head.

 

congrats?

 

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Rick and Morty. The humour is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the jokes will go over a typical viewer’s head. There’s also Rick’s nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation- his personal philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realise that they’re not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Rick & Morty truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn’t appreciate, for instance, the humour in Rick’s existential catchphrase “Wubba Lubba Dub Dub,” which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev’s Russian epic Fathers and Sons. I’m smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Dan Harmon’s genius wit unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools.. how I pity them.

 

You consider a 99.something a good approval rating. 99.x isn't hard to keep. 99.9x is arguably difficult to keep, but even without TO or TV I imagine it isn't difficult at all to keep a 99 unless you're doing every single hit with bitcoin in the title lol

How do you feel about the hourly discrepancy here?

I view TO and TV as useful because they enable easy data gathering on HITs. But they're exactly that, easy data. How many reviews would there be if there were no numbers and people actually had to write out useful answers and no easy /5 options to pick from?

Hey now, I have HORRID anxiety. I'm half of a shut in with my cat most days. You can do anything you want, even if ya gotta push through some anxiety tears. I think I cried half the way from Georgia to Cali and I still occasionally lock myself inside with the lights off from time to time.



You is strong! You is great!

I was really hoping someone would pull that out. I might love you.

Okie dokie.
Think whatever you want, I suppose.
I'm not doing myself any favors by improving your ability to find good work, so even if I "win this argument" and you take my advice, I end up losing in the outcome by adding to the pile of people who are taking good work.

But as one of those "scripty people", I figured I'd give my own perspective on TO and help you understand why blocking by TO isn't in the tools you'd like to see it in. It's not because @Kadauchi is incapable of writing it. It'd just encourage a poor workflow, and would be worse than useless -- you'd be shooting yourself in the foot with that feature.

 

Hardly anyone made shiznit last week. I hope this week is better

 

You just did all those hits blindly right? I find that hard to believe. If you did them blindly, why even use forums such as this place?
