and if you use a VPN, you get them all the damned time--even to do a google search.

I just love it when they have you id all the boxes with stoplights and you have to pull out a magnifier to see if the bottom two-inch edge of a stoplight is sufficient to call it... Or the traffic camera view that MIGHT include a very out-of-focus car in one view counts. Or the fleck of paint in one box actually counts as PART of a crosswalk.


I hate those things. As bad as they are for most of us, I feel really badly for those who don't use computers much, including some much older users.

This one is obviously a joke (or is it?), but have you noticed how they usually involve traffic situations? Usually you have to pick out traffic lights or cars. I suspect the data is used for self-driving AI.

I hate them because I never know what to do with the squares with partial cars in them.

Way to complicated for the average tRumper.. First they have to know what a Finnish is...
If you fail a few times the info goes to your voting board and you get deleted.. I'm telling you it's true.. Snoden told me...
