Meanwhile google slapped me with nine captchas to fill out a form like wtf?
Lemme guess... traffic lights, too many motorcycles, and buses? There was something "wrong" with your cookies cache or IP. Google just straight fucks with you if it sees network traffic it doesn't like.
i never know what's expected on those type of captcha. if the handle bars of a bike go into an adjacent box and are 99% covered by a hand does that count? what do you do when you have a blurry image full of jpg artifacts and are asked to identify if it contains a fire hydrant. I'm pretty sure it usually classifies me as a bot for being too exact since I'm asked follow ups for a few minutes until i give up and just close the tab out of annoyance.
My son was looking over my shoulder, or vice-versa, while I bitched about that. It was bikes or motorcycles and I'd always click if I thought there was any amount of it in a picture. He told me not to be so precise, as in, if there's a tiny bit of handlebar, didn't count it. That seems to work better... unless it doesn't like my VPN or whatever, in which case it's never ending
