05/15 - Shih Tzu Sunday!

[ristiekay]

I FINALLY got my laptop updated to Windows 10, got Google Chrome installed, got whatever script thing you're supposed to get if you have Chrome and got turkmaster installed, now I'm trying to set up good PANDAs.

So far I've got Ben Peterson, Ibottas (are those zings?) and a buzzfeed one.

I've searched the forum for good ones but I think those links are for anyone to see whether they're a member or a lurker, right? I am a member, so if you'd like to PM any to me, I'd appreciate it so much! I have master's, 5K+ and live in AL (so I miss out on some pretty good ones).

I tried to set up HitScraper but I was not a fan at all. Will just using Turkmaster be pretty good?

I've heard nothing but good things about flint Michigan

lmaooo yeah ik ik. i'm moving back with my parents in the suburbs though for 4-5 months until i can save up for a car. and then i'll move to a different suburb. i've never actually lived in flint proper, just the areas around it. but most of my friends live in the actual ghetto and it is worse than what most people even think.

reasons why i'm moving back

oh they're no bother! I love meeting my friends

Fans are my favorite thing in the world. I've never been the type of artist who has that line drawn between their friends and their fans. The line's always been really blurred for me. I'll hang out with them after the show. I'll hang out with them before the show. If I see them in the mall, I'll stand there and talk to them for 10 minutes. I'll hang out at the library with them. I'll go out to the club with them, whatever, I trust my friend/fans with everything.

holy cow i have probably done at least a dozen of those IAT surveys where they have you classify good/bad adjectives and black/white people/names etc SOO many times like how much research do they need on this? like there has to be papers out there with significant results from this already. i'm so frustrated i hate these surveys but i'm hard up for cash. i just needed to bitch lol

 

[DankoRamone]

do any of you who turk fulltime sometimes turk from a remote location to switch up the motonomy (assuming you have a laptop)? i know it takes away the option of multiple screens, but thinking about doing that this coming week

I haven't done it yet, but once the weather here in Michigan begins to make sense I'm thinking of biking to a local coffee shop and turking a bit. I'm finding it too easy to get distracted (and bored) around the house lately.

Turkmaster is fine for monitoring stuff if you already have the PANDA for it. It's just not helpful for finding new batches.

i'm moving back to the flint area

Not a bad area unless it's Flint itself. Or Clio. Clio, ick.

yeah, i lived in davison for awhile and it was pretty nice. though my car did get broken into when i lived in an apartment there and that's never happened to me in all the years i've spent in flint with friends lol. grand blanc is nice... probably wouldn't live there tho just because of the snobbery. clio does suck lol. swartz creek used to be nice but now it has a major heroin problem womp womp. fenton would be really nice to move to but their snobbery is just. damn lol i don't even like shopping at a target there for that reason
