Once again, minimum wage in AZ is 12/hr. This comes in below that. I'm really sick of you asking me this same question over and over again.

I can't read the smaller print toward the bottom, but since it seems to be written in blood, I'm going to
assume that ignorance will be bliss in this case. This is not to say that I'm not feeling your pain!
I definitely have some sympa/empa going on here!

it says www.mturk.com. btw I'm only $398 away from paying off my student loans. that's why I'm turking tonight. I have hardly had time this year to for reals turk. my student loans were $10,700 in 2019 iirc.

 

My payments are like 50 a month but my total is 150k or so. Even though I've reconciled with never paying it, it still hurts to think about. Also love the lettuce post from this morning, didn't post a reaction cause I didn't see it till like 10 hours out, but it made me happy.

 

Why do they do this on a slow day? Had a bonus up to $14.

The game you are trying to join is not active, either:

• it has been completed, or
• it is experiencing technical difficulties.

Please return this HIT, we hope you will participate in another of our games in the future.

 

That's exactly right! Just posted two more HITS if you have enough patience for a few hundred more bubbles!

 

These newer 'faking yourself' HITs are definitely a little uncomfortable for me.
It's difficult to suggest that "I am constantly trying to become friendly with everyone in the company in order to
'advance myself', when all I really want to do is retire in one of those 'missile silo' real estate situations.

 

Can't wait to measure your "response latency" compared to your baseline on the honest surveys!

 

Well done! You will have to buy a round for all of us when it's all over.

 

Marta!

Pros:

Cons:
Stupid ass garbage survey where they ask you to:
- Imagine two hardware stores as planet and describe them in details (smell, people, environment, etc).
- Imagine you are writing a love letter to those stores.
- Imagine you are writing a breakup letter of those stores.
- Which picture represents the mood they put you in and explain.
- Which type of shoes are they.

can confirm, all of these things are real

 

Some hardware stores are just like my loved ones
They work so hard and they try to be strong
I'm a lucky guy to go to Home Depot

 

Here's the problem....

 

someone put something into your butter tarts today? this wasn't a very canadian review

 

I normally return those "imagine X becomes a planet", but I was like "I'm at 80% of the survey and it's the first question, so I can hope it's the only one and it's worth $4 compared to the regular $1 they normally are, I can take the risk". And now I hate myself.
