From the HIT page instructions:
We are conducting an academic survey about social networks and personality. We have developed a software system that measures personality based on your facebook pages, and so to participate in this study you must click on the link at the end of the survey and allow access to your facebook page. No personally identifying information is collected.

:thinking: sure....
This probably belongs in the politics thread, but apropos of the above and as interesting information on what requesters may be doing with our data, especially when our work interfaces with Facebook, I'm leaving this for your consideration. No idea of how trustworthy this may or may not be.

From the above article.

"As a part of their relationship, Kogan paid Amazon Mechanical Turk workers $1 each to take the OCEAN quiz. There was just one catch: To take the quiz, users were required to provide access to all of their Facebook data. They were told the data would be used for research. The job was reported to Amazon for violating the platform’s Terms of Service. What many of the Turks likely didn’t realize: According to documents reviewed by The Guardian, “Kogan also captured the same data for each person’s unwitting friends.”

I can't recall what kind of surgery you had, but I thought I would share and hopefully ease your mind. They did this with both of my c-sections and my hysterectomy. It is perfectly normal and actually expected for it to come off in about 7-10 days after the surgery. By then your outer later of skin has healed enough to hold itself together. There are probably internal dis-solvable stitches as well as a back up. Now don't get excited because you're not healed yet and you could still bust it open with certain activities. But this is a good thing and actually means you're moving along well with the healing process. Even some slight bleeding or discharge is perfectly normal. Feel free to PM me if you need someone to talk to or have any questions I might can help answer. I'm not a doctor, but I do have some experience. Hope all is well! :glomp:
hysterectomy thank you that eases my mind alot. I remember nothing the doctor told me and he probably went over this.

No, busy at my other job. Wished I had it though. Will they post again today?
They might. They posted twice today. They have been known to post quals for a couple days, so probably worth tossing a PandA on it.

I actually half get that. It almost seems like the requester is trying to avoid all the crying about being screened out after the fact so they doubled-ensured you don't waste your time, which ended up ...wasting your time lol.

Just did one of these... do you think we can do it again? Nothing in the description mentions repeats being invalid...

welp, got an answer,
"You've already completed this study. Please exit this page unless you're sure you need to be here :)"

The smiley face they added at the end, made it all better.
