What the hell is the MOMO challenge and how did it start? Fiance got a message alert from his kid's school about it because it was being spread around by students and is dangerous?

What is wrong with people these days!?

I just read a news story about how that was fake and people were just fear mongering.

It's not real, so it's not being spread around. It was a hoax that was squashed last summer- UNTIL, Kim Kardashian posted a warning on her Insta and got everyone click-baiting all over the damn place again.
tl:dr- FEARMONGERING

According to the email, it was brought up in the local news last night. I had never heard of it until now, If my fiance didn't have school aged kids, I still wouldn't know.

All the news outlets have been reporting it since the KK thing. You can google all the people who have debunked it though
News people jump on distracting bandwagons all the time. The news no longer = truth :/

Was it @Jerami who posted about Appen the other day? I have the test scheduled for next week and I was wondering if anyone has done any work for them could give me any pointers.

Scorned by Pinterest's arbitrary "gold questions" yet again. I'll never understand how I can categorize everything exactly to their standards and yet end up getting kicked out.

Wait. That sounds awesome. Also I'm about to take a nap. Lol

ok, the appen test. assuming it's for yukon project...

the guidelines are everything. but you can't just use find to look up all the questions. they take some critical thinking. the first part is true/false. it's like 20 questions or so with 5 individual questions about the same topic in each high level question.

the second and third parts are just like the real tasks you do.

it's hard because none of it is intuitive. you can't use your experience to figure it out, because they have specific guidelines. for example, if something doesn't load you're supposed to rate it medium even though i feel like it "should" be low.

i passed it the first time but if you don't pass it the first time you'll almost certainly be able to retake it.

the whole thing took me probably 10 hours.

No, but then I've got a medium-term memory like a dried trout, so that doesn't mean much.

They require an NDA, or at least they used to. That makes it difficult to get people to share info.
