Omg you're in hot springs? I used to go there all the time...the back way from fort smith with all the logging trucks. I wanted to go to magic springs, but ended up moving before we did.

Just 20 minutes south of Hot Springs... Was just there yesterday (wifey likes the Chinese buffet across from the mall)

Magic Springs is really nice if you are going to attend the concert at night....Best to get season passes

I'm the weirdest football fan on earth. I only root for certain teams to lose. Like, I'll literally feel depressed if they win. I need friends.

Also, I said earlier that the videos from Amazon about Mechanical Turk talked about pricing vs. speed. They also mentioned a few times that workers have forums and if you want to know if your HIT pays too low or is too confusing, you should go read worker forums and see what workers are saying about it. So keep talking about low paying HITs and the fact that we aren't doing them because they pay too low. Requesters are reading.

I just stopped working on AWS when someone pointed out the pay decrease. I admit I did some, but yep, in this case, the protest got me to stop doing them.

Any requesters out there reading this, keep being you.
You're smart for trying to pay as little as possible to get your work done.
This forum is evidence people will work for slave wages.
In fact, your boss might give you a raise for spending so little to get any task you need done completed.

 

[thedorchannel]

its fine, they'll do better next season if they trade [Sam Bradford, Blake bortles, Ryan Tannehil] for [Tim Tebow]
