  • Longer as in, more questions.

    Anecdotally, I’ve noticed if you choose a “wrong” answer on some questions, it’ll stop the survey and just pay you whatever rate per question answered.

    It seems the first question is usually a litmus test to see if you’re answering reasonably truthfully or not, such as “Which of these did you most recently visit?” with some answers being bogus names or businesses not located around you, and one correct answer based on location data Google already has.







  • The thing is, the Dems CANT abuse the power. If they do, they’ll get crucified by both sides for it. And that’s what the Republicans want. They’re simultaneously making it so they’ll stay in power when its their turn, and daring the Dems to do it knowing it won’t go well for them. Its a win-win in their eyes. Especially while you have some of your people sitting on the highest court in the country.

    And this is the flaw with a two-party system. If one party decides to play dirty, the other is either forced to play just as dirty to keep up, (devolving into anarchy) or trying to play by the rules and getting blocked by the other team at every turn.











  • In the collective hands of everyday people.

    The issue is, the collective is divided, on purpose, by greedy corporations, corrupt politicians, and dishonest talking heads in the media.

    The scientific community could yell from the largest pulpits, but as long as we are separated by “my team vs your team” politics, and everything being politicized, we will remain stagnant and doomed. Progress is dead. If not now, soon. Especially as AI becomes smarter and more easily accessible. We won’t know what is true or AI-Gen garbage in a couple (and i mean a COUPLE) of years.

    I wish, i PRAY this comment is the most incorrect thing i ever post and we somehow turn things around. I try to play my part by voting, turning to renewables in energy and anything i buy, and informing myself and those around me of ways to be better. But individual people divided can only do so much. It will take the collective human effort to get on the right side of this. Because the collective bad actors, the rich elites, are doing what they need to keep us on the wrong side of progress.
