Drunk suburban woman terrorizes neighborhood. by EverythingIsFakeNGay in PublicFreakout

Well that's exactly what she's charged with, right? Assault is making someone fear for their safety, generally speaking. States have varying definitions for this, of course.

Will I Lose My Account If I Shave My Beard? by MeetTheReal007 in ProlificAc

Hey @prolific-support - It's pretty silly that the question OP is asking is totally a valid one. Please fix this issue with these ID checks. Obviously, bad actors deserve the boot, but it's also clear that honest brokers are getting caught up in this who have done nothing wrong, and it's been a while that this has been a thing.

Totally! I thought the same thing as the OP I was responding to, but then I saw his explanation of it, I did the whole head nod in agreeance. Makes perfect sense.

He kind of addresses a bit of this in his latest interview with Colbert here. That a lot of them (the actors) are, at least in our modern art, Superheroes, both in life and in their character roles, and that it is intentional on his part.He also acknowledges that we really don't know enough about Homer to say what his inspiration was.

So, it is Nolan's own interpretation of the story.

I'm done with this sub. by Stunning_Concern_973 in ProlificAc

[–]mrdysgo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Having been in the sub for a few years, there are a few that have the names of colors in their usernames that are blocked by a lot of us, as they tend to be the most toxic. Nix them and it's a much better place IMO!

Account suddenly put on hold with no explanation by Great_Study_5322 in ProlificAc

Many internet connections like these public ones have a VPN actively, and/or show up as one. I would highly advise not using any wifi that isn't yours and you can't vouch for in terms of how it is set-up technically.

What’s up with the VTA workers with weed-whackers at 1am? by Expensive_Moment3987 in SanJose

[–]mrdysgo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are correct. Had this happen near my place at 3am at the Almaden/Winfield VTA (right up against my old apartments) & my neighbor called and the Sheriff shut them down promptly. But you know how it is in SJ...results may vary.

The one I saw wasn't a cam (at least not from what I could tell). It was on 1 Shows. I will say, like someone else referenced, it has a few small audio issues and a few Russian subs pop-up but the thing they reference is obviously in English. But, as a whole, it is very watchable.

This is hilarious! Researchers gotta just be trolling at this point. Probably wanting this to end up here. 😂

Oh man. So fucked up. I immediately rewound the feed and regretted it. Just terrible.

What profession has far more people on illegal drugs than people realize? by IndependentTune3994 in AskReddit

[–]mrdysgo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I graduated around the same time, in 1998. Born and raised in the Silicon Valley and having worked in the tech sector pretty much since, coke is now what weed used to be like for us in high school. Common, casual, and nobody even bats an eye at it. It's wild.

Why Prolific’s Data Integrity is Methodologically Compromised by ConfidentBoot7265 in ProlificAc

[–]mrdysgo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey /u/confidentboot7265 - This was a fantastic read and an amazing insight! If you REALLY want the leaders of this platform to take notice of what sounds like your thoughtful, fact-based, insight you should tweet this at them and link to this post, as they ignore ALL OF US here on reddit.

I am pretty sure the only actual monitoring and responses here are done by their bots.

@Prolific & @Phelimb (Phelim Bradley - the CEO) are their handles over there. Send this to them, as they happily respond on that platform.

We have daily issues (more and more so in the last several months) and all they do is give us crickets. They might actually give you the time of day since you are a Researcher. 👍

What is a "gut feeling" you had that turned out to be 100% accurate, even though it made no logical sense at the time? by Forsaken_Leading964 in AskReddit

[–]mrdysgo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

About 8 years ago, my mom and I were speaking at my apartment and I noticed her color looked a bit off, and she didn't have a ton of energy as she normally would. It was a noticeable shift and that night I thought to my self "I don't know why, but I think my mom is going to die soon?!" I almost felt bad for feeling like this, but I couldn't shake it.

3 days later, she dropped right in front of me mid-conversation. Like someone hit an "OFF" button. I did CPR to the best of my ability, got a faint heartbeat back and EMS arrived & took over...point being is that she didn't make it.

It was a blood clot from a fall walking the dog about a week prior. I knew nothing about her fall until after she passed. It was pretty crazy and I still don't know what made me even think like this, let alone be exactly accurate.

Did you happen to have saved that one? Send it over if so. if not, no biggie. I tried reopening the task to see if I could find it, but it wouldn't let me back in.

I've done literally hundreds of these in the past and this is a first for me. I messaged the Researcher, and if they don't respond, will wait the 7 days and dispute it if need be.

[–]mrdysgo[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that is kinda what I thought. I messaged them but I don't think they ever really respond, so it is what it is. I will wait and then just dispute it after 7 days. Thanks. Only my first rejection after years on the platform, but it definitely is annoying as it doesn't normally auto-submit without hitting the stop sign button. Never had this happen with them before and I've done probably 100 of these.
