10/18 - The Secret of Monkey Island Tuesday!

@electrolyte, is there a scientific/data reason for why some studies want us to write what we think the study is about? Like for example if you knew exactly what the study was looking for, does that throw the results off?

I don't think they necessarily throw the results out, but sometimes you'll see written in a paper that some percent of the participants accurately guessed what the survey was about so that should be taken into consideration when evaluating the results. I think it can affect the naivety which may or may not be an issue depending on what the survey is about.

I hate drum brakes, and I hate my life.

Spent 5 hours on them, until it got dark and I had nothing left in me. Couldn't even get one side completely done, but it figures. I can't have a good career, or a healthy mind, or a healthy body, or someone to love and be loved by, or friends, or a father and brothers who don't look at me with disgust and contempt, so why would I expect to be able to do a little brake job. And when I finally gave up and got in the shower, I left part of the curtain hanging over the side of the tub, so there was water all over the floor. I can't even wash myself without fucking up.

And I'm out of weed and booze.

I want to die.

I was assuming it was just to make sure we were paying attention/reading and not marking random answers

I started doing them, want to do more, but for some reason i am just survey happy today, i just can't stop. and I hate surveys. Anyway the few I did had no comments, so I put that. no comments, no info found. The only one with comments was from 2013, too far away, so I wrote that.

 

[Squatty]

yea that is exactly what i am doing. just wanted to check my thought process.

How long does it take you to do each one?
I tried one and returned after 3 minutes.
