found $9 astros tickets for next Thursday afternoon

Is your back against the tracks?

great job. Probably won't be highly attended so you can chill out more if you hate crowds like me. When I go to a baseball game, I try to go on days when I know from history that it can be less crowded.

It's just a banana. I don't think there's anything abusive about it. There's nobody holding it down or anything in the original pic.

I think it's cat abuse because the cat is dying from strangulation.

Who knew ? are murderers!

I dropped from 10th accuracy to 92nd from last one to now.

Whaaaat just happened

bye gift card

I went out and found Omar al bashir myself to make my prediction accurate. Gotta earn that shit.

I signed up for mturk in late 2011 out of curiosity. I did like 4 or 5 HITs, then just ignored it for a few years.

I was #2 for a long time due to the explosion question. I've had 2 really controversial one's that were 80/20 with me going 90%+ on the 20%

I pick hard one's but I went with one that was 90/10 and did 60/40 on the 10 and dropped 80 rankings for it... jesus, lol.

 

[Your Worst Nightmare]

I'm nowhere near the top of the rankings largely due to the fact that I don't give a crap about it. The gift card isn't worth the time and energy I'd have to put into constantly updating forecasts.

“There was no safe way to test the squirrel for meth,” the sheriff's office said.

so, they decided to release a meth-crazed squirrel back into the wild.
if you live in Alabama better watch out for a crazed meth squirrel

It's probably alright. The squirrel wasn't "passed out" on the side of the road or a on a porch when released. Meth will wear off if the squirrel is under the influence at the time of release and I assume the Alabama Dept of Conservation confiscated any meth substances, needles and paraphenalia the squirrel might have been in possession of at the time of release.

The rankings are weird, because it rewards predicting what the crowd on average predicts. You can game it if ranking is really important to you.

I just ignore the rankings and other predictions, and try to do a good job with my estimations. fwiw, my prediction accuracy is decent, and I'm in the 60s-range for ranking.

i’ll be sitting in the “cheap seats” like i did the last game i went to. 400 level between third base and home plate. i actually had a good time last time. the view isn’t terrible for being the upper most level.

At ten years at my job, you get an engraved desk clock. What would the ten year thank you present for Mturk be?

 

[basketcasey]

According to this poll, we've all been turking too damn long.

A rope.

They'd probably revoke your Masters.

 

[basketcasey]

A rope.

Also, this.

 

[redtokyoboxers]

Three years to go until I'm free.

Costco sized mutli-pack of extra absorbent Kleenex, for the tears, past and future.

Take me with you.
