06/25 - Mo' Money Monday!

[sofaslug]

requester posted that hit for $3 like 3 days ago. it was broken. I messaged him, he said "thank you for telling me i'll repost it." He reposted it for $2.50. I took it that day because shit's been slow. Now he has posted it again, for the original $3.

edit: i get that i chose to take the survey when I did but things like that leave a very salty taste in my mouth

I'm not trying to minimize what happened, but I will tell you that you have a lot of company. It happens a lot and quite honestly there isn't much we can do about it.

No, they've abandoned us, just like everything else we love.

Those old kung fu flicks were so good. Plots were shit most of the time... but athletes and stunts in them were incredible. These days action films use camera tricks, editing, and shaky cam to make it look like things are happening when the actors aren't even touching each other which removes a lot of the visceral impact of seeing the action follow through past connection and into reaction. Also mad props to any person who can repeatedly do suspended upside down situps to a fully folded position.

I gave him the benefit of the doubt and asked if it was the same survey all three times. He claims that they are all different and he changes the pay rate accordingly.

Doing well. I don't turk much anymore, way the hell too busy... so my shitposting has also dropped off as well. As it goes.

exactly, the olde scool kung fu was the very best, no BS CGI everything was real, showmanship and acrobatics, with the occasional reverse camera jumping up to a building or tree
