I believe he started vibrating 15,000 Hertz. A totally normal response in the presence of all women, not the sign of a weirdo at all.

Yeah this didn't happen because there's literally no reason to bring that up. Unless OP was being creepy which is totally possible given the website.

Well here in, not the United States of America land, we just have busses. I was not aware that busses required a special magic paint job.

I suppose the paint job prevents school shooters wasting their time.

They are just buses.

I guess the British government just assume that school children are smart enough to get on the right bus without them being individually distinct.

I knew school buses are yellow but I did not realize that they are always yellow. I did not realize that the yellow color meant school. I just assumed that the yellow color was a color busses could be.

I think the reason AI are better than humans is that the AI is just as stupid as the image classifier.

They are also overly US centric.

One of the questions asks you to click on only the school buses. I had to Google how you tell the difference between a school bus and not a school bus.

Also is it a crosswalk if it's at an intersection or is it only a crosswalk if it's in the middle of a road somewhere?

The questions either need to be not cultural or they need to be adapted for where they detect the user is coming from, the first option seems easier.

I also have a locked door on my house what's your point?

Everyone should talk to their parents and grandparents about this scam

It would be pointless with my mother, anything involving technology developed after the 1980s goes were in one ear and out the other.

She never could work out the VCR, I never even bothered with a DVD player.

They need to invent a "smart" TV that can be remotely controlled, so I don't have to come around every time she wants to watch another episode of big bang theory, which apparently is the best show ever.

They really are just looking for the lowest common denominators.

I don't have a webcam attached to my desktop, and my laptop is only used for work, and anyway it has a physical plastic cover over the camera.

A lot of people will have a very similar setup so it'll be very obvious that they don't have anything. The only people this will actually catch out are those with a guilty conscience.

I bet they have a disproportionate number of politicians pay up

It's the age old question, does the pole count as part of a traffic light?

Personally I refuse to die for anything short of an antimatter explosion.

Hyperbole is a thing.

In other the news it's still too expensive for basically anyone to buy which was my fundamental point which I feel like you're ignoring

 

When you reveal a spoiler the black rectangles go away and it then renders the text in white, but on a white background (light coloured theme) The text renders is exactly the same colour as the background and so you can not see it unless you highlight the post, this renders the background of the post as light grey and there is just about enough contrast difference to now read the text.

When spoiler text is revealed it should render in the same colour as normal text. I'm not sure why it's white.

See images below for demonstration.

spoiler text is hidden

spoiler text has been revealed but is invisible

text post is highlighted and now you can see the spoiler text rendered in white
