Other than terrible twos yeah
It's really hard and I don't really get how to comfortably walk the line. I guess the best way to put it, it's like having these people who think they have no rules and can do whatever they want yet want no responsibilities to earn those things all while having everything paid for.

I like to say it's like having people who want you to treat them like they're in charge while they put in the effort of 8 year olds.

I guess at the end of all of this is, are adult children or kids who are becoming adults about the most difficult age range to deal with?
I think just generalizing people into one single category is a problem in itself.


I've seen the whole "millennial" stereotype in RL, as well as baby-boomers acting selfish and irresponsible.



At the end of the day it's all about how people are raised and what gets passed down from one generation to another. Just because one person that age is annoying to deal with doesn't mean everyone is.


Preferences, yo? Or something like that? That's not related but hello again everyone :coffee4:

It is okay to have scripts running on two different computers? Just for clarification, two computers logged in to one mturk account. And what is a virtual desktop?
All of my mturk scripts via AHK are running on my main machine. As for browser based scripts and extensions I don't have any probelms between browsers and machines. My phone I use mostly for when a survey requires Android or for doing various usertesting tasks that are phone based.

Virtual desktops are exactly that. You can set it up so so that you have programs/windows running on a separate screen that that you can move between. Linux based desktop managers (like having sticky windows that will move from one virtual desktop to the next) are a lot better than Windows but Windows does have them as well. As for windows, without custom software I think they started including it since Windows 7 but am not sure. If you have 10 you definitely have the option.

Amazon limits the number of page requests you are allowed to make by account. You can run things on two separate computers if you'd like, but if you make too many page requests you will keep getting errors. Also the TOS says its not okay to let scripts run at a high rate of speed all day long but I'm not sure how strictly this is enforced.

You are more likely to pick up the hit if search the hit. It's the same panda I had yesterday and caught it. I forgot I took it the day before, which was also the same panda. lol.

Teenagers are Gen Z and we don't really have enough stereotypes of them yet.
We should create some.

Gen Z people would rather put Tide Pods in their butt than earn money from a hard day's work.
The lazy bums.

My daughter is about to turn 13 and every single day it takes more and more to keep from slapping the living hell out of her. I'm pretty sure it is a climb until it become unbearable. It's probably the reason that most children eventually move out.

I have things timed up pretty well. Hit Finder and Panda Crazy are the only things that are hitting Mturk's sites regularly and not so fas that I get PREs (most of the time) unless I'm also manually hitting a bunch of pages quickly.

Waiting on hold with the water company to ask someone to mail me a form to sign up for automatic payment (because the sign up form isn't available online (wtf)) and the hold music includes an ad for automatic payment.... :headwall:

That is probably true, and I'll agree with the other post in that some people are just way more difficult than others. This whole experience has taught me something though. As I'm the stepfather of these children and I've met all of their biological dads...no matter how someone is raised or little time they spend with a side of their family sometimes you can't outrun your genes.

The oldest boy I referenced is literally exactly like his dad despite spending about 10% of his life with him.

Yesterday people were saying it was a different panda every time. I give up on Christopher, it's been like 4 days.
