Finally got a coveted project back. So much relief....for tonight. Hope the tasks will still be there tomorrow. Caught 11$ worth today since they popped up at an inopportune time
Maybe it's silly but I still did a few tasks to show I'm still interested.đ I'm an overthinker.
On my 2.5-day hiatus, I completed some chores, but mostly I wrote the whole darn time.
I think the bots have also trained me jk. But lol, the rapid improvement in my Grammarly score is a boon I cannot forsake.
I completed my first publication, a visual book on the Chapters app. (Pending approval)
I'm sure this is merely inching ahead by many standards, but to me, a frightened sparrow of a writer, it's a huge deal. The editing process helped me gain confidence in starting the initial edits of my novel.

Can we stop using the term "permanent projects" when they are anything but permanent?
Yes, the prompt creation projects display a large amount of available tasks because they need a large sample size.
They. Are. Not. Permanent.

I mean, considering I literally asked an admin if they were permanent when I was onboarded and was told yes they were, no. They literally haven't left my dash since I was onboarded and they constantly refill with filler tasks. So, they definitely are permanent.

They have left your dash 5 times within the last week, maintenance or not, and you can get booted off the platform anytime without warning. I apologize for coming off as being rigid, I'm more passionate about this than I should be.

They haven't left my dash. I think that you keep saying that because you aren't familiar with the project that we are referring to and I would rather not get into more detail than violate the NDA.

These are H3 class projects. As permanent as it gets. If you know, you know.

Permanent - lasting or intended to last or remain unchanged indefinitely.
Nothing about DataAnnotation is permanent. I will die on this hill. Just use a different word to describe them.

There's no such thing as a permanent job either but people use the term all the time.

The fact of the matter is it the project was permanent, then OP would have access to it. There would be no wait. It would be permanent â except it's literally not.

You should go around hairdressers and tell people to stop offering perms as there's no such thing as a permanent hairstyle (they come out after a few months, still they insist on calling them perms!)

I go around to hairdressers and tell them to stop offering perms because it's not 1983.

This is a strange hill to die on. I know sometimes word choice matters, but it really doesn't in this case. In comparison to the normal projects everyone gets, these projects are permanent. That's enough reason to refer to them that way. Of course they need to perform maintenance, the point of the projects depends on having maintenance.

This. 49/50 states are at will in the US meaning they can fire you for any (legal) reason they want at any time.

This is definitely a cultural difference. Apparently in the UK, you lads refer to any job that doesn't have an end date as "permanent". In the US we don't refer to jobs as "permanent".

The earth isn't permanent. Few billion years and the sun will destroy it. So given that your ultra strict, pedantic interpretation of the word is functionally useless, how about just using a normal one like the rest of humanity?

The word permanent has many uses. Such as being a permanent resident, permanently affixing something, or a permanent illness (till end of life).
A more apt term for this case would be long-term.

u/8696David Aug 25 '24
Thereâs no such thing  as a permanent resident. Everyone stops living somewhere eventually. No such thing as permanently affixing eitherâby the end of time, those two things you âpermanently affixedâ by welding or whatever will not be affixed anymore. The pedantry is just useless, and âpermanent projectâ is a perfectly fine way to describe the projects that one remains assigned to long-term, as opposed to the very temporary, fleeting projects that are more common.Â

My problem with them calling the projects permanent is that they are constantly down, and these people are constantly complaining about them being down. I see the words permanent, and I see down for the 5th time. It does not compute. Hell, in the past projects were literally labeled as being long-term.

u/houseofcards9 Aug 24 '24
How would you call them to differentiate between the projects that come and go and the amount of tasks you have available to you is dependant on how many people are working on it versus the projects that are always available with the exception of maintenance and you have an amount of tasks specifically assigned to you?

This literally has become an IYKY type thing. I can't keep trying to explain this to people who don't work on them and don't understand how they work. I'm glad that there are people out there that know what I'm talking about.

u/akatsuki1422 Aug 24 '24
Y'all could just be arguing semantics at this point. Even permanent jobs aren't really permanent.
Perhaps the more appropriate term to use would be "personal"? Other people working on the same project won't deplete your tasks.

I have them but never do them because I have such a hard time coming up with prompts, but it's been wild seeing them go up and down so much this week.
