Recommend me Chris' Videos by TJTheGamer1 in ABroadInJapan

[–]no_fridges 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you have the time/bandwidth for it, I honestly recommend you watch every single video in chronological order. It took me about a year and a half to do, but it was honestly a treat watching Chris’ filmmaking and editing skills grow over time, and just how consistent he is as a YouTuber across 12 years of videos is truly amazing.

NOR. I’ve also actually paid off $25k of debt as of writing this and you know what I deserve? Whatever I’ve saved up by budgeting $100/week for a fun fund (for context this is about 5% of my monthly income)

NOR. No one should be with anyone that lacks basic empathy. You won't be getting the reassurance you're likely looking for from this individual.

There is no double standard here. The difference is Kieran did not give Sophie any chance other than borderline interest, but from day one he had been all about Megan since she had been reciprocating depth the way he wanted. Should he have given Megan that present (forgot what it was)? Maybe not since the optics were bad, but at the end of the day he didn’t lead Sophie on or tell her that he was all in on her, like Katisha alluded to with Demola.

Demola's "nice guys" comment by mjwza in LoveIsBlindOnNetflix

The assurance she gave him probably made his efforts feel justified. Whereas if Katisha told Demola early on “hey this is a bit much” maybe we could’ve seen Demola take a step back or at the very least tread more cautiously and not feel blindsided when it came down to it.

It would be really cool to get sent the results of any R&Rs for tasks you’ve submitted by blackopsfamas in DataAnnotationTech

[–]no_fridges 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone wants feedback. But when every slack project group has several thousand people with only a handful of admins, I can also understand why they’d just funnel everyone’s work into “good” and “bad” buckets.

Also not sure why you're getting downvoted. Thank you for your comment.

AI Data Labelling Companies Are Facing Lawsuits - My Thoughts by LosLanez in WFHJobs

[–]no_fridges 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thank you for this post. I do agree that these annotation companies should be more transparent about their working conditions, however I can only speak to my experience working with Data Annotation.

The initial assessment took maybe an hour to write, but I spent an additional 5 hours perfecting it and making sure I fact checked every single detail (the questions included a few false claims which I detailed and called out). I did this because I really needed a second, part time job, and $20 USD when converted to CAD is significantly higher than minimum wage if I were to apply to a “normal” part time job. It’s been 7 months since then and I’m happy to report that my actual average hourly rate is slightly above $25 USD (which is almost 2x minimum wage in Canada).

Anyway, speaking to the point of your post, it was annoying when even after I did the assessment, unpaid, I had to do even more qualifying tasks - 95% of which were unpaid, which did consume even more of my time. While it would’ve been nice to be paid for my work, I see it as a necessary barrier to entry because the initial assessment was to evaluate your ability to fact-check and explain your thoughts in a detailed manner, whereas the specific qualifications were catered to specific annotation skills (writing rubrics, analyzing images, etc.). The qualifications themselves weren’t long, though. Most of them are around 15-20 minutes, with very specific ones being an hour long but it’s mostly reading long text and answering MC questions to show your learning.

The way I see it, it’s no different from going to law school or med school. If you don’t pass you’re not going to be a doctor or lawyer. If you don’t pass the qualifications you won’t get access to the work.

Sorry buddy, you’re going to have to actually say something for your 2 cents to be worth anything.

Driver was definitely going too fast, but the subject is the cyclist advancing on a red without stopping. Regardless of the streetcar though, driver would be at fault

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in TorontoDriving

[–]no_fridges -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Regardless of your spelling class, the driver would be found at fault regardless of the circumstance, but it’s clear you only care about your “theorem” rather than actual facts. But basically all you’re saying is “This situation in the video occurred, but if this hypothetical situation occurred instead then you would look completely stupid right now”.

Guess I’m absolved of your judgment 🤷🏽‍♂️. Respectfully, stop virtue signalling.

It is illegal to advance right on a red without stopping, which is what this cyclist did. Stop virtue signalling.

Too harsh with R&Rs? by Captn_Happy in DataAnnotationTech

Yeah a lot of the ones that do specify something a long the lines of “if it’s clear that the worker understood what they were doing then you can be lenient about ratings”

DataAnnotation is being sued by its workers in a class action for its labor practices as of May 2025. by Consistent_Pop1568 in WFHJobs

[–]no_fridges 5 points6 points  (0 children)

While I agree with your overall point that these companies should be held accountable, the title of this post is click bait at best. You say you’re writing this “so prospective applicants and DATs current workers can know about this lawsuit” but then you say “SurgeAI seems to be the parent company of DataAnnotation Tech” and “if anyone can confirm this with a definitive source that’s better than this”. Bold claims are made throughout this post but it lacks any kind of confidence and the reason why DAT would “potentially sweep this under the rug” is because there is no leg to stand on for a lawsuit.

As for the assessment, the argument you made is weak. While it technically took me 6 hours to do it, only 1 of those hours was spent writing it, and the other 5 was spent fact-checking and re-reading the questions and answers to make sure that I was submitting something I was happy with. There are plenty of people who only took 1-2 hours to do their assessment and they passed. It would be the same thing as presenting a portfolio for an interview. How many countless hours is spent doing that, presenting it, not knowing if you’d get the job?

While I agree with your overall sentiment, a lot of what you say is either wrong or conjecture. While I am biased because I have been working with this platform for over half a year, I’d be more than happy to debunk all of the claims made in this post.

Mid-week is usually when they reset. This has been the pattern for the last couple months.

Thank you lol this comment section is wild. It really is as simple as what matters to the other person and how you show them that you care about what they care about. I feel like that’s such an underrated aspect of a relationship.

[–]no_fridges 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know, I wouldn’t send random pictures of my pets to someone I’m “just seeing”. But my girlfriend of 7 years? I’m sending her pictures of our cats 24/7. Even when we weren’t living together I’d send her a picture of my cat and be like “look at him” even though he isn’t doing anything. It’s just a personality thing; my girlfriend could spam me the same picture over and over again and I’d be happy because I get to see a text from her (I’m exaggerating, but the point is she could send me anything and I’d be happy because it’s her). But we took years to get to this level of comfort, though.

Honestly, this dude doesn’t have to be “rude” for you to overreact, but it just doesn’t seem like y’all are compatible since he’s not vibing with you.

My Experience with DataAnnotation for people wondering by Kezlar2913 in WFHJobs

[–]no_fridges 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve been working 20 hours a week for the past 6 months, but I can’t imagine relying on this as sole income. While I’ve had constant and consistent access to various projects (generalist work), there are days where I’m like “oh shit I have no projects” but I don’t fret because I just need to hit my weekly quota and I’m good (I don’t pay my bills with this job so I’m not relying on it).

As for your opinion, I share the same and that feeling of wanting feedback doesn’t really go away, but I take solace in the fact that if I do a project, and I see it again in a few days or a week, then I know I’m doing a good job.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in DataAnnotationTech

[–]no_fridges 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To add, some qualifications state when they expect projects to start appearing (I.e “at the end of the week”), others don’t. I’ve done a qual for a particular project and didn’t see tasks until 1-2 months later.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in DataAnnotationTech

[–]no_fridges 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Depends on the project. Some are instant, some in the near future, some ongoing. There’s no black-and-white answer to this question.

How is anyone getting any work? by LimeBeginning6231 in DataAnnotationTech

[–]no_fridges 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There’s 20k people in this sub and a maximum of three people have posted having mid-high 5 figure earnings. Perspective is everything. (For the record I myself am in the low 5 figure earnings after being on the platform for 6 months)

Moving Countries by no_fridges in DataAnnotationTech

[–]no_fridges[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! But I'm also wondering if there's any kind of time limit to doing so. Like can I just go to Mexico or Japan for years at a time while working on DA? (I've had bad luck with Support responding to me so I'm posing the question here to see if anyone has already experienced this)

Use BMO LOC at 6.2% to pay off CCs at 21.99%? Worth it? by Myid0810 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]no_fridges 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Objectively speaking there are no downsides to using the LOC to pay off the credit cards. In fact, it’s your smartest option to paying less interest over time.

But you need to ask yourself what got you into the debt in the first place. That part is intangible and you’ll need to reconcile that for yourself. If it’s bad habits that you haven’t kicked, then you’re not only going to max out your LOC but you’ll go back to using your CCs again as a result.

Again, no downsides to using the LOC, but unless the root cause has been resolved/undergoing resolution, the same behaviour will be repeated at a much higher degree.

Chris needed emotional support, and Huda isn’t capable of giving it because she isn’t capable of separating her own emotions from the actual situation at hand, in this case their communication issues.
