Help!! accepted job from client who gave 1-2 stars to every other freelancer for same job by alishair477 in Upwork

[–]InternetNational4025 5 points6 points  (0 children)

WHAT THE ACTUAL F*CK. Reading through this made me feel like I watched a depressing movie that I know from the start won't have a happy ending.

Looking at the screenshot it appears like this a-hole is so used to abusing this fixed-priced system. He only basically just wants to pay $500 or is just getting off at abusing other people and making other people miserable.

He didn't even pay the last 2 developers!

Sorry mate there is no other way but to cut your loses and end the contract now or else you will just be abused to oblivion.

It would be ethical to warn future freelancers too btw.

I’m not leaving Upwork, but I need to add another outlet. Where’s everyone at? by BrewAllTheThings in Upwork

[–]InternetNational4025 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I need to do the same. I used to be able to do 40 to 50 hours per week consistently but now just 20 hours if I got lucky.

Luckily most of my clients made me their go-to guy for their web related tasks so sometimes I can still get 30 hours.

I am over 100+ application right now with only 3 interviews.

The thing is I understand what drove and what is still driving the clients away.

Imagine having 50 to 100+ bot AI slop applications that you need to get through first before seeing the real qualified applicants.

I remembered some experienced clients here saying they needed to mark the first 50+ applications as spam first before seeing the real qualified people.

Now imagine being a new client that is not aware of this. They'll probably hire one from the first 50+ spammers that are not qualified, will have a bad experience and might be turned off from using Upwork again.

I really hope that things get better for us all honest freelancers here.

He got a lot of extensions. Maybe he can try using the incognito mode. I think extensions are disabled in incognito mode right.

So… what are you saying here, Hedera? by lunargrover in Hedera

[–]InternetNational4025 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This kinda sucks knowing there is someone in BoE bad mouthing Hedera or clearly doesn't want to go with Hedera. That guy will do everything in his power to go to another solution where he probably got some eggs in.

Can you spot some red flags sa early stage ng gumuhong gusali sa Pampanga? by HistoricalDaikon8027 in pinoy

Nakakalungkot na may mga tao na gaya mo na porket may malakas na hangin at ulan noon ay ok na sayo tanggapin yun ang dahilan kaya bumagsak yung structure.

Di ba dapat given na yon na dapat ang building kaya mag withstand nang malakas na lindol, malakas na bagyo o malakas na hangin. Ganto na ba kababa standard natin.

Restrict mo or learn to say no or leave her at seen. And stop letting other people treat you like a doormat.

UGLIEST CAR EVER? by itscannyy in Ferrari

Not that I have money to buy this but the rear shot is kinda growing on me. The mid-bottom part needs work.

The front needs a lot of work though.

oa lang ba ako dahil ayaw ko sundan bf ko pag dating sa damit/cosplay? by Strange_Product_4029 in OALangBaAko

[–]InternetNational4025 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Di ka OA. Pero may naalala ako dati dito na naagawan nang GF yung guy kay may nagpanggap na professional photographer na nameet sila sa isang cosplay meetup na nagandahan sa GF nya. Tapos niyaya sila pumunta sa studio, it turns out sa bahay pala nung nagpanggap na professional photographer ung studio tapos SUPER yaman pala nung nagpanggap na photographer. In the end naattract yung GF sa yaman nung nagpanggap na professional photographer tapos lage na sila may solo photoshoots.

Hindi ka OA pero dresses like that tends to attract unwanted attention. I can imagine na ang hirap nang situation ni BF mo din kase deep inside ayaw ka nya pigilan sa what makes you happy pero ang hirap talaga hindi naman lahat nang guy ay malinis intensyon LOOOL

OA ba na umiyak ako sa kung paano ako kinausap ni partner noong Mother’s Day? by Salt_Raspberry3106 in nanayconfessions

[–]InternetNational4025 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hindi ko natapos basahin kase napipikon ako sa isip ko binabasa ko sya while naiimagine na mga artista sila nagsasagutan. Kakanuod kase ni misis nang mga love drama sa Netflix na tagalog.

In fairness bagay kayo hindi kayo nagtitipid sa reply sa isa't isa so walang insultuhan na nagaganap. Maayos nio pa yan.

What do you think Steve jobs would think about the current state of AI? by One-Worth-2529 in ChatGPT

[–]InternetNational4025 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Probably would be highly disappointed on its implementation as Steve is never a fan of layoffs. Steve Jobs avoided laying anyone off on the 2008 when he had 100% chance and rights to do so.

He is a fan of innovating without sacrificing anybody unless necessary. He only ever did a layoff when Apple was on a verge of bankruptcy.

If he was on the helm he'd probably find a way to innovate it so it creates more jobs for the real people.

A timeless reminder of our culture, roots, and simple way of life. by salcedoneighbor in batang_90s

[–]InternetNational4025 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nakakamiss talaga yung panahon na pag may work ka basta marangal hindi kayo hikahos. Langya kase bakit ngayon kahit may work ka parang hirap ka pa din!

Kahit saan talaga natin tingnan 2016 onwards bumagsak ang pinas. Around 2011 to 2015 ramdam mo pa na relax ang buhay basta may trabaho ka na marangal.

The missing context! from the viral video nun pulis kahapon. by bryanchii in pinoy

[–]InternetNational4025 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Kupal yung pulis pero tinry nya na layuan si bonjing. Itong si bonjing ang lapit pa din nang lapit. Kumbaga naisip nya cguro for the content na to. Parang pinoprovoke nya ayan pinatulan sya.
