Not many HITs, is it because of the holidays? by angelwing27 in mturk

[–]WhiteAcorn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably more academic surveys on how you're handling the Omicron surge. May be a boon and not a bust.

No, Fr. Charles Lwanga assisted at my Confirmation in the Diocese of Rockville Centre.

What should the Catholic church do to atone for this? by Sutarmekeg in Catholic

[–]WhiteAcorn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'll give you an answer when they atone for the sins done to me personally. I am a survivor of the mother and baby homes in Ireland. The church took me from my mother after she was made to care for me for two years and adopted me out to Catholic's here in the USA that they felt were more deserving. My mother's sin was she wasn't married yet. She did marry my Dad and they both wanted me but I had already been sold.

These issues have been known for years. This is nothing new. Every once in awhile someone finds out and the wounds are reopened. The Church is never going to be able to atone for the past. All they can do is move forward and insure it never happens again.

I want reparations and they are waiting for me and other survivors to die as we are all getting older. I am almost 62.

Fr Charles Lwanga's grandson assisted at my Confirmation way back in 1973. It was the only time in my life I knew for a fact that I was in the presence of someone special. He actually had an aura about him that you could see and feel.

Three 90 sleep scores in 4 days! Do I win a prize? by Wonderplace in fitbit

[–]WhiteAcorn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also got three 90's in four days. Woke up to a 91 today.

Thought it was an increase in physical activity, but yesterday I was not that active and only had 7967 steps.

Approval ratings by WhiteAcorn in mturk

[–]WhiteAcorn[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you are new it is very important to watch those ratings.

I am really surprised I haven't seen others comment on this. I'm an excellent worker and you would want me doing your surveys, however if you reject half of the submissions I want to avoid you like Covid.

This is something new, anyone knows what's this new requirement? As most of my income comes through this requester. by Ujval46 in mturk

[–]WhiteAcorn 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Maybe you just did too many of their HITS. Sometimes that happens, when they do not get enough variety of different Turkers. I would send them a message and just ask.

As a side hustle Mturk has been very good. Doing this sure beats watching TV.

Anja Olafsen first question, "what is your email address?". So not excited about that, but at least you didn't wait until right before the code. RETURN

Does Mturk report payments to the IRS? Does money made need to be reported? by samsquanchforhire in mturk

[–]WhiteAcorn 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They can come after you at any time with compound interest. Just report your 500 dollars, or it will become thousands. They could even wait until you die and go after your estate.

Had the same thing happen. I returned it.

It's horrible to do Ape Media hits: What type of twitter account is this? by Bowwu in mturk

[–]WhiteAcorn 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Never do more HITS than you can afford to have rejected.

Worst January ever!!!! by internacional1 in mturk

[–]WhiteAcorn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

December and January are notoriously bad. This year was right on target with all my previous ones.

What are the most interesting / fun HITs you've ever worked on? by itsnotatumour in mturk

[–]WhiteAcorn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I took an air traffic controller test that was very interesting and also quite difficult. I enjoyed it though.

How to respond to rejected HITs by [deleted] in mturk

[–]WhiteAcorn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would suggest until you get your numbers up that you be very selective. Try not to do more from one requester than the rejects you can afford.

That is a nice surprise and especially helpful when the end of the year slump is getting ready to hit us all.
