not going to bet every mma event
but mma will be the only sport i do it on in 2020

nba, nfl and college football are shady
plus this means less distraction during the week, etc
betting on pointless bowl games, nba games, etc
out of boredom

i would only be betting a few times a month in 2020
and mainly just the weekend when mma events are

because even if you get in a relationship. that relationship is 95.2% going to end. those are just the stats. I’m a numbers guy. I study the numbers.

where are you left after the relationship ends?

hopefully still in a great place.

that’s why you take care of your temple

The greatest battle we have as humans is fighting our internal human nature. Wanting to mate, wanting to be loved

Never understood all the hate MTurk gets
On a MTurk forum nonetheless
money is money
could things be better and different
of course
but be grateful

obviously MTurk has helped you in some form or way or you wouldn’t keep coming back to the forum.

The platform is just really difficult to adjust to, especially if you depend on it for all your income like you and I do. I know I have also complained a lot about it myself, but I find it really difficult to get out of the mentality of "mturk sucks" when it's literally the only thing workers are saying, including long term workers.

I think one of the things I have to work on is not letting other people's mentalities affect me. If I literally log in to the forums and other places and immediately see "so fucking dead today" "hasn't been this dead in weeks/monthsyears" it just sets me up for failure, even if something good does post later. I can't really control other people saying that shit but I can control how I react to it. I wish blocking features were a little more sophisticated so I wouldn't even have to see messages containing stuff like that, and when I've brought it up to people before it's usually not an understanding conversation, so it's just kind of something I have to figure out for myself.

Dead days are already difficult by default because of the lack of work, negative attitude only makes it even worse to get anything done

the platform can definitely be a pain. I’m not denying that. work was more abundant in years past. not denying that either. it’s just I don’t know. there’s still money out there. is it a pain to scrape it all. definitely can be. especially during December.

it’s like yesterday a lot of people in the daily thread were complaining about how dead it was and it was one of the best days I’ve had in at least a month. mainly due to 2 batches (that I posted what they were when I posted my pe). 1 that reposted again last night after I said what it was.

and yeah sometimes days do suck. sometimes they suck hard. especially during the Holiday season.

I just feel like complaining can get contagious. and it sets a wrong mood. it sets a mood that can linger.

yeah turking can absolutely suck. I’m not denying that either. but as long as I’m doing this I’m going to try and at least be as positive as I can about it. which isn’t always easy, but it is what it is?

I was about to say "you should post this in the daily thread" but let's be honest it'll be like YO I NEED MY PLACE TO BE NEGATIVE WITH OTHER PEOPLE ABOUT HOW SHIT THIS PLATFORM IS

which I also understand needing a watercooler place to vent, which is what the daily is i guess, but when it's every day it sets the wrong mood for not just other people but yourself, so yeah i agree w/ u

whenever I have a decent daily pe... it’s usually absolutely mind numbing in order to achieve said total. it’s hours in front of a screen. it can suck.

I try to treat MTurk like a “real” job whenever I want a decent pe. it’s harder to have a good pe during the holiday season. some days it’s still manageable.

I’m rambling rn
