OK, the turk balls are rolling in nicely, now we need Hotels, Hannah 5EVEN5, more of those Alexxy's to show up

The nice thing about Amazon vs. Prolific is that you get bonuses on Amazon. (At least I don't think I've ever gotten a bonus on Prolific .)

Greetings from Amazon Mechanical Turk,

You've received a bonus from Alex Marshburn for work related to 38EHZ67RIM3LHHVD4N17LSU4XFQGMQ.
The value of your bonus is: $0.75 USD

The Requester included this note:
No comment provided by Requester.

Thanks for being a Worker on Mechanical Turk!

I have gotten bonuses on Prolific. Not many but I have gotten some.

I've been experimenting with my phone's camera, and while hanging out with my sister last night, took this picture of her dog... just see for yourself.

He's a cutie pie. Nice picture.

I always have problems with that question.

I have so far not got a rejection for telling a researcher in comments that their question was thoughtless, wrong, unperceptive, etc.

A lot of those kinds of question deserve the Taoist answer "mu," signifying a question which cannot be answered because the premise is sufficiently flawed as to render any other answer meaningless.

Have all the batches been closed qual? I'm not getting anything today!

Go Ham on surveys is all I can say. Not a ton of high money ones today (none I can catch anyway, grrr), but the little ones are swarming.

One of these days I'm gonna announce I have to leave for a few hours and then stay and see which HITs pop up.

Too much effort to try it right now?

I always tell myself i'll leave forever, but then I come right back

Well I can't do it now, I just said I was going to do it.

Edit: P.S. Even though I've had problems getting the GeoHIVE qual to work properly, I must say their support attitude for workers is *outstanding*.

Prolific is surprising me today. I usually get $0/day with occasional $1 days,I think I'm up to like $5 today.

Somebody (was it you?) said they got $5 off of them yesterday.

i've seen that look before, you are his next meal if you are not careful

look for signs around his sleeping quarters or behind the couch like: cutlery, BBQ sauce, napkins, a bib, gloves, cyanide tabs and a bottle of whiskey.

Yeah I mean I answer them as honestly as *possible*, given that they are blind toddlers (Hi @Liz!) struggling through anthro/psych/soc 1a.

I do like it when they have a feedback box and I admit to wasting slightly too much time expounding on the subject when it comes up. Someday if I start seeing better quality questions I will *so* take inappropriate credit for it.
