P.E. $214.95...still hate mturk. fml.

We share a common bond of self pity for turking all day. Plus food is delicious. In all actuality, this is the most negative thing I've read all day. Most of the shit you read on here is highly sarcastic.

This.

90% of what I do here is to try and make people laugh. I know this can be frustrating to say the least.

He was "mocking" us all... in general...it's a LONG running Mturk joke.

This board is probably the only thing that keeps me sane during the day. I laugh a lot reading this and no one I actually know gets it.

 

[JenniLeigh]

We literally ALL work for pennies...and need to lighten the fuck up so we don't go crazy.

General mocking of OUR situation, and DIRECT attacks on someone's character aren't the same thing. By a long shot.

When I was a teenager, we figured out how to shoot pennies at each other at a high rate of speed using our fingers. That's what turking is like. You'll get a penny, but it's going to hurt.

This was a high quality post.

We also figured out why there are only 10 people talking about food all day.

But it only takes one to pile on huh?

You said
"but you're just lazy"
Well, "but your just lazy"
That was the direct attack.

Nope everything is 100% fact on the forum ur WRONG

I mean seriously, sometimes the amount of negativity on this forum, from people that do not even turk is , I mean do you ever wonder why this forum is the same 10 people all day long talking about what they ate for lunch?

Ehh, I don't really see it as being any different than any other job. No matter where you work, there will always be people that make jokes about their job being awful, or even genuinely complain that they don't like it. I think that's just the nature of work. Nobody really truly wants to do it, so it's nice to have others to vent to about the stresses and frustrations that come from it. Especially around water coolers, which is sort of the niche that these forums fill for many people.

I knew I was doing it wrong. That's why I turk. Can't seem to figure out where I went wrong.

I don't remember calling out anyone specifically. That post was directed at myself more than anything. I have a self depreciating sense of humor. The way I see it, we're all in this together. Anyway, it wasn't meant to mock you or any other turker. Just trying to lighten the mood a bit when things are slow.

Also, no need for suspicious quotes. @JenniLeigh and I are friends. (That also was not meant as an attack.)

 

[Leatherass]

You said
"but you're just lazy"
Well, "but your just lazy"
That was the direct attack.

actually you are right, and what a vicious attack it was

 

[TSolo315]

actually you are right, and what a vicious attack it was

Yeah, it was a pretty lazy attack.

 

[JenniLeigh]

Where did I say vicious????
I said personal.

edit...my bad, I said "direct"
