Sonofa... Just give me my damn game!

If these damn picture nightmares were all about security ^ that wouldn't be so much easier!

Look, I'm legally blind with corrective lenses and I don't even have that much trouble with those.

1) I don't believe you.
2) You are trusting something artificial to determine if you are NOT artificial. That is the problem. You have to sit there and make value judgments of arbitrary photographs and hope that it matches this artificial program's determination of a word it doesn't even know the definition of. You click on one thing, it asks for more. You click on that, and it asks again. You're wasting time and mental energy when you could be surfing a website or enjoying a game.

*obvious joke grab*
The problem is that you're a robot.

These things make me question my own humanity.

An adblocker (sometimes) disables the captcha.

I once had to click on photos of cookies. Thought that was incredible funny.

Google essentially nudges you to login in one of their services if you want to make your captcha life easier.

How's that supposed to improve anything?

That wasn't captcha. Just another privacy window telling you they use cookies.

Re-captcha owned by Google. Just try login-in at Google Maps or Youtube. Don't logout. Try the re-captcha again.

I mean, how is having a google account supposed to make people less of bots?

Then I'm afraid I misunderstood your former question. I guess Google's logic is when one have a logged-in Google account then the re-captcha request is more from human than not. But again it's just my guess (and yes I too hate this practice).
