10/23 - Max Monday

My RV was born in the 70s, too.

 

Good morning everyone!

 

-Internet was we know it came out in 1995. I was BBS'ing before that. Dial-up sucked!
-Grew up as one of those computer nerds. it's still surreal how everyone who didn't understand me in school is basically a lot like me now.
-Had a cell phone before most people had one because I sold cell phones from 1996-1999. Predates T9 texting.
-LOL I remember M.C. Hammer Parachute pants!

 

Did they make fun of him when he went to school with a black eye the next day???

i still remember trying to download commander keen off a local bbs. download took 1 hour, 5 minutes. bbs only allowed a 1 hour connection.

 

Surveys, I don't wanna anymore.

 

Bruh, you're actually muddying the definitions between a millenial and a Gen Z. My first cellphone def did not have a touch screen, and I was not young when I got it. That is common of Gen Z, not millenials.

"Millennials were considered the first “global” generation with the development of the internet, but as more of the world comes online — Generation Z will become more global in their thinking, interactions, and relatability. 58% of adults worldwide ages 35+ agree that “kids today have more in common with their global peers than they do with adults in their own country.” Diversity will be an expectation of Generation Z.

After asking people “Would you call yourself addicted to your digital devices? (computer, smartphone, etc.),” we found Gen Z’ers are 25% more likely than Millennials to say they are addicted to their digital devices. A full 40% of Gen Z are self-identified digital device addicts.

This generation grew up with technology, and for them, it’s probably hard to go without their devices. If this younger generation is constantly on their phones or devices and not watching as much live TV, we may experience a massive shift in advertising methods and marketing messages."

Honestly though, I think it's dumb AF and divisive to an idiotic degree that people feel the need to shit on each other's generation or dissassociate themselves with a group of folks based off birth year. Every generation has quabbled with its predeccesor and it's follower. Socrates literally Grinches about the younger generation. It's a time honored tradition to try and shit on other people lol.

Anywho, I'm just commenting, cause we've had this convo on the forum before, and I have a job/cat pictures to take.

 

Happy Halloween! Only 3 hits left before the Halloween hit! If anyone's interested in the donation status, see the first spoiler. I'm cutting off donations on Wednesday, so if you've been holding out, now's the time!

Title: Trick or Treat Turk! Happy Halloween! | PANDA Requester: Tjololo [A20IXK8ZV8N72H] (TO) TO Ratings: ☢☢☢☢☢ 4.96 Communicativity ☢☢☢☢☢ 4.88 Generosity ☢☢☢☢☢ 5.00 Fairness ☢☢☢☢☢ 5.00 Promptness Number of Reviews: 34 (Submit a new TO rating for this requester) Description: Will you get a trick or a treat? Time: 60 minutes Hits Available: 1 Reward: $0.06 Qualifications: Brony is 100; Cheater! has not been granted; DoubleDip has not been granted

Donation status:

Spoiler

So far the balance is $61.35, which is way more than I anticipated! Thanks to everyone who's chipped in! Looking at my spreadsheet, $61.35 puts us right around $0.35 for 125 users ($61.25), or $0.30 for 150 users ($63.00). If anyone wants to add to it, the donation information is in the bottom spoiler.

Any extra money I have (like in the case of $0.35/125, I have $0.10) will be sent as a random bonus to a random worker who participated in any of the hits. I'm not keeping any of it.

Qual info (and some other info) is reiterated in the spoiler below. I REPEAT! IF YOU DO NOT HAVE THE QUAL, CLICK THE SPOILER BUTTON TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET IT!. If you already read the spoiler last time, this one's the same.

Songs: Song 1 Song 2

Spoiler

As a reminder, I've changed how the hits work a bit. It's been dragging on a lot (Monday's hit just finished yesterday), so I changed the hits to put out 125 hits at $0.06, instead of 150 at $0.05. Not a huge change, should work out to the same amount in the end, but this will get it done a little faster (as well as give you all an extra penny. Don't spend it all in one place!).

Another reminder: I only put out hits Monday and Thursday. The hits may extend to other days, but those are the days that matter for quals. If you didn't win Monday and you see a hit Wednesday, you'll still be eligible on Thursday, because that's when the new batch goes out. Likewise, if you win on Thursday and see a hit on Sunday, you still won't be eligible Monday because that's the next batch. Hopefully that makes sense.

Eligibility

I decided to go with the same eligibility scheme. You can only win every other hit. Meaning that if you win, you will be ineligible to accept the next hit, but you will be able to accept the one after that. That's the best way to balance fairness with availability and number of hits.

Structure

I took some people's (unexpected) advice and dropped the pay in favor of having more hits available. There will be 150 hits at $0.05 each, for a total of $10.50 per hit, and $94.50 for the month excluding halloween. Halloween will be its own hit. I'd like to release 150 of those as well, with pay determined by how much I have left over and in the donation pot. Right now it's looking like it'll be around $0.17 each, though that may go up if additional people donate and/or if I get any more money to throw into it. For reference, $0.10/hit is $21, $0.25/hit is $52.50, and $0.50/hit is $105. Right now I have around $40, so if you want to increase the pot for everyone, look below for the URL.

Frequency

I'm going to be posting on Monday and Thursday, within the 12:00PM EST hour. People seemed to be the most active this time, and that was the two times I got most reported as "available" without complaints on my survey. This was the only "surprise" hit, hopefully it was still fun!

reiterated information

The qual can be requested at https://www.mturk.com/mturk/requestqualification?qualificationId=37O6I4CP4ADSVOT2B526P9T1IYF66V using the password 37O6I4CP4ADSVOT2B526P9T1IYF66VDV Just enter that string into the box and submit. You will be auto-approved within two minutes.

If you wish to donate to increase the Halloween pot (thank you to those who have!) you may do so at https://www.paypal.me/mturkTj any amount put into there will be added to the pot on 10/31. I also accept cryptocurrency, though I'm having issues accessing that so if you HAVE sent me any crypto (or wish to), PM me and let me know (transaction ID would be helpful if you have it) so that I can figure out what to do with it and/or send you the wallet addresses.

Happy Halloween everyone!

 

...And not necessarily in that order!

 

@Tjololo

 

Tricked again! Oh well, at least I get to play again Thursday!

 

Well I'm glad we're making like my local grocery store and really getting somewhere with this conversation...

 

Actually I think the dumb part is that people get butthurt about being included with... whatever generation. It's like, just be a decent human being, lol. I mean kids today are bad but compared to those born in the 70's everyone is lol

 

3rd time and still no treat haha.

 

I start my morning with a good round of Bearnie photos. I had to ask for permission to use his chair, so I could get my work done.

 

I like to ask my cat with a flyswatter. Oddly enough he says yes and gets out of the chair every time!

 

People forget that in the '50's - you got hell from your parents for wearing 'dungarees' a.k.a. blue jeans.
