Every time I have to solve a captcha I'm forced to confront unresolvable semiotic edge conditions. Is the post that supports a traffic light itself part of a traffic light? I just don't know. I am inadequate to log in.

@mattblaze Making people think they're crazy is called "gaslighting" and it's a dick move.

Captchas are trying to make us think we're robots. It's called "Bladerunning" and it's a Philip K. Dick move.

- the Turing test is wrong anyway
- it's impossible to make them accessible
