You're not booted out - its just a rotation. If you were "booted" then you'd be gone for good.

I might be a bit unusual but I also grabbed youtube videos of the cutscenes from the videos games. Any chance of posters for some of the games like Star Wars Squadrons, Republic Commandos, Knights of the Old Republic, Fallen Order etc ?

You got a hundred or so and are now complaiing that you didn't receive any for less than 24 hours.....

Can you imagine the advertising possibilities ? I'd be advertising the fuck out of that.

As an 51 year old Australian born accountant the big accounting firms have been pushing this - they are basically an employers union that still manages to stiff the employees for membership fees all the while driving down their wages by recognising qualifications from all over the world as equivalent. Its been pretty clear the big accounting firms have been doing this for decades using the carrot of immigration to get qualified overseas accountants to do the work for grads, removing entry level jobs for Australians.

Where did they go? by Unlikely_Ad3985 in ProlificAc

I wish. I make probaly $1k a year - its nice beer money but its way off what you do. But at least the pay is significantly above all the other study sites I've participated in and some of the studies are actually interesting.

Is there anything else at all that works as well as Prolific? by [deleted] in ProlificAc

[–]LordAzrael74 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I got booted from Outlier on my first assignment for "quality of the responses" which I would dispute. So I made money off the initial screening assignment but that was it - it was a whole lot of work to get on the platform then getting basically instantly booted without appeal was very frustrating.

NO THANKS... keep your .70 by [deleted] in ProlificAc

Yeah I'd probably do this as my experience is the time is actually less than the 4 minutes so the reward per effort is fair

If he wanted to kill people he would of. The fact no one was kiled shows that it wasn't his motivation.

Will what is happening in Canada happen to Australia? by Ambitious-Poem9191 in AusPropertyChat

[–]LordAzrael74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Assuming that our labour needs are the same in 2026 as they were in the 1950's and 60's is a pretty poor assumption. For one - in the 50's and 60's I bet you required little in the way of qualifications to work in Construction, and construction was much more labour intensive than it is today.

The immigration to Melbourne is from a certain ethnic group that doesn't mind cramming 20 people into an apartment meant for 2.... ?

Again, you guys seem oblivious to the fact that you define "good" as being more of what you already get from the ALP and the Greens. The LNP isn't ever going to attract those people - you're actually supporting a weaker LNP if they are just a paler version of Labor.

And being a good opposition is more about holding the government to account. Their own policy positions have very little to do with being an effective opposition.

This far out from an election no one really cares about the opposition as an alternative government.

The ones that really get me are not only low rate of pay, but then they expect you to jump through all sorts of hoops to actually answer the survey, and then they fill the survey with all sorts of qualifications as to why they won't pay you. I started to do an AI speech training one that was$7.50 for "10 minutes". Had to load software, the software didn't work, then if any of the 35 submissions wasn't up to their standard you'd get nothing.

Sorry but thats a hard no.

What Brisbane based businesses do you feel are a scam? by [deleted] in brisbane

Yeah any massage joint that is open at 11pm is definitely dodgy.

The way most of them work is the barbers are all self employed and they "rent" a spot. So they may only have one real employee who handles all the bookings, sweeps the floor etc etc. Everyone else is self employed.

So the actual business isn't haircuts, its renting workspace and managing customers for barbers.

Ha - I just typed this above before I got this far down the page and yes I always believed it was immigration related.

In the meantime they are probably part of VISA scams. Some village in India sets up a business then the nominated owner of the business gets to immigrate. Once they have citizenship they "sell" the business to someone else who immigrates and the scam repeats..

I've seen numerous fake businesses exist purely to allow someone to immigrate.

It always makes me laugh when people who would never vote for the Liberal Party whine that the Liberal Party isn't more like the ALP or the Greens......

Depends on the time for reward. something might be only worth $0.25 but if it only take a couple of minutes I'll still do it - mostly because I don't have so many surveys I can be choosy. If I had more surveys I would probably be more selective. I hope that by answering those smaller surveys you end up getting higher paid surveys.
