I slept through my damn Zoltar alarm

interestingly, it's number one for depression treatment - lots of folks on psychopharms.

I wonder why that is. If it is culture based, or is it so beautiful that folks who are feeling that way seek out the area. I have a cousin who went out there while he was self medicating.

Guys, I'm atheist and it's the best. End of discussion.

I prefer agnosticism. It's kind of like atheist but with an insurance plan

What's the best way to gain new qualifications -- just scroll through the list and request a bunch of random ones? I see mentions of qual HITs -- how do I discern those from others?

104 for me. I started multi tasking toward the end though.

Some qual HITs pay $0.00, and some will say it in the title. It depends on the requester, but you usually need to do a certain number of HITs for them to get the qual. Sometimes you can get them by requesting them, but that's usually for things like NDAs and screeners. It doesn't hurt to try requesting everything, but it usually won't help much either.

Quals are slippery creatures. You must approach them with caution so as not to scare them away.

The best thing to do is if you see any Hit with the words "Qualification" Or "training"... Do them!.

Most quals if you just request them nothing comes of it. Some few do have tests, like ProductRnr, and a few others. But the rest are about being in the right place at the right time.

I think the working hypotheses are - one that the church is very supportive of treatment, two - especially in Utah, responsibilities to the church and family are pretty intense (so, it can take lots of effort!) and that can be good, but also hard for people to manage
finally, depression is always worse in rural areas - interestingly. Lots of times people guess that it's cities, but it is actually rural areas that climb to the top of that list.
I'm sure there are other things that fit into the model, but these are the big ones that people think about.

Altitude can contribute to depression and suicide too, weirdly enough. At least, according to a couple recent studies.

I meant more like if it was a steady batch or if it took forever to get there, because the batches get real spotty right before they stop posting altogether, but that's probably something in my head trying to make sense of an uncaring Zoltar.

Here's a qual hit if you like semantics. I don't, but what the heck. The qual HITs are pretty underpaid though.

Insurance is a scam.
