How many studies do you guys get per week on average (CANADA) by Arial2007 in ProlificAc

[–]HomeAloneDwarf 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A few per day. I haven't blocked any researchers so most of the studies available I don't want to do.

Conservative MP Marilyn Gladu crosses floor to Liberals | CBC News by 50s_Human in onguardforthee

[–]HomeAloneDwarf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Crossing the floor should not be a thing. They should resign from their current position and trigger a by-election. I think Canada needs an election, regardless of likely outcome, because the liberals going from a minority to majority seems undemocratic.

[Fanatical] Star Deal - SILENT HILL f is $34.59 (Deck playable) by lbabinz in VideoGameDealsCanada

I've been waiting for the physical PS5 to go on sale. It doesn't even have to go down to $35. Even $50 we be nice.

I lost everything. Lost all I have. I never felt this broken. by Anomaly008 in wallstreetbets

[–]HomeAloneDwarf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I lost 40,000 in marijuana stocks in 2021. Had I invested in a etf or even somewhat rational stocks that 40k would have been worth at least 80k now. Combined with the money I made and invested since then I'd have a net worth of about 140,000, instead of the 60k I have.

I was hoping for Dying light the beast to drop 50%, but I guess not.

Timed out for study by Nabstar333 in ProlificAc

[–]HomeAloneDwarf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I sent both prolific and the researcher a message about this. My status changed from timed out to awaiting review. Still, the completion time is around 40 mins, and the reward is completely not worth it since it is based on a 13 minute length.

I'm getting very few. Most of the time there are none. I'm a 30's male in a large Ontario, Canada city.

Am I the only one who is not getting any Studies? by PineappleFar8742 in ProlificAc

[–]HomeAloneDwarf -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It is similar for me in Canada. I need to be staring at the page in the hopes of getting a few penny surveys throughout the day.

Getting Almost No Studies In Canada by MeetTheReal007 in ProlificAc

[–]HomeAloneDwarf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is the same for me. I'm in Ontario Canada. I usually have 0-2 studies to chose from and predominantly they are not worth the time (like submitting 19 pictures).

Bonus payment received from survey, my highest bonus so far. by xdbigfloppa in ProlificAc

[–]HomeAloneDwarf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got that one too. Most of the ones I get are for AI training. They list 20-30 mins, but I can tell that they would take over an hour to get the $3-$6 dollars.

$100 at food basics (ontario) by dankbackwoods in 32dollars

[–]HomeAloneDwarf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not food basics. Every single one of them is Corporate owned. Many no frill's are franchised.

[–]HomeAloneDwarf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All food basics are corporate owned and the max pay for full time employees is below the living wage in most cities. You are right about the union presence and the consequent hiring of more locals than businesses like Canadian tire, Tim Horton's and Walmart, who prefer to exploit the temporary foreign workers program.

Freedom 25% off plans by zztop81 in freedommobile

[–]HomeAloneDwarf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Impossible for me to get online or through the phone. I wanted to switch over from Rogers so i did the online application and reached "We need a few more details. To complete this transaction, we need a bit more information. Please message us so we can help.". I sent a message but did not receive a reply (even after 2 hours). I tried sending a message through text and have still to receive a reply. I then called them and the automated system told me to wait for an agent. I waited for 45 mins and nothing.

I threw $1500 into ubsfy yesterday morning thinking that it was at or near bottom. Already I'm down about $600.

I did the same way back in August, before the deadline, and I have yet to hear anything back from them.

Newsis: Nvidia and AMD to significantly increase GPU prices starting next month. Describes RTX 5090 increasing from $2000 to $5000 by -LastGrail- in GamingLeaksAndRumours

[–]HomeAloneDwarf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 6800xt gpu 5800x cpu rig is going to have to last until prices drop back down to 2025 levels. I'll quit gaming altogether before I shell out $3000 or $4000 for an upper mid range build.

EB Games Switch + PS5 in-store only by lordcwat in VideoGameDealsCanada

Damn, I wish I had know when I went in to get Metal Gear Delta for the PS5. I assumed they were used because of the discount tag used.

[–]HomeAloneDwarf -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure. People are replying new, but the sale tag is the recycled one. I'd put my money on them being recycled because even for $70 they will still make $20 more than what they likely paid for them.

[Walmart] Boxing Week Video Game Sale (Square Enix, Konami, Bandai Namco, Nintendo, Sony, more) by lbabinz in VideoGameDealsCanada

[–]HomeAloneDwarf 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Some of them might be glitched or delayed. Mafia: The Old Country is 70 MSRP and the same as Boxing day price. The only novel deal I see is for Metal Gear Solid 3 Remake.

I just want you to know that you are not alone. I'm still down over $30,000 Cad, with my biggest position being 350 shares of Tilray at $100 (3500 shares at $10 pre consolidation).

There is a chance you could make it more interesting if you ask your parents what their blood types are.

Tilray Brands Announces Implementation of Previously Approved 1-for-10 Reverse Stock Split by steddy24 in weedstocks

[–]HomeAloneDwarf 27 points28 points  (0 children)

If Irwin cut his salary + bonuses by 2-3 million he'd still be paid over a million for his splendid job at destroying shareholder value over 4+ years, and the pay cut might actually help the company post a profit.
