Background: I'm on the younger side for an adult. I was born in the US and English is my first language. I have corrected vision, but my eye sight is not horrible.

The issue: I haven't been able to use Craigslist for a week because I cannot select all images containing trains. I failed the hCaptcha challenge maybe 8 times in a row on a few different days. Maybe I'm not human. I'm convinced that an algorithm can likely identify a train or a truck or a motorbus in a 25x25 image better than I can. I squinted at a building thinking it was a train. I analyzed the reflection in the body paint of a vehicle wondering if those were traffic lights or railway lights. Is a garbage truck, a truck? Does just one railway car, or part of one railway car count as a train?

The ask: Are you able to do it? Is there a better solution?

I understand this is a first world problem, but what about folks that may be differently abled than myself, especially in vision or congition? I saw there's a way to set an "accessibility cookie" but I did not go through the process yet.

P.S. Happy new year!

What is your workplace doing to address the demonstrations about the state of racial injustice in this country? I don’t mean notifications from the people security team telling you not to go outside. I mean ways to get involved. What are you doing, as a non-Black person (I don’t want to pressure any Black folks to spend time to teach us right now) to be there or support your Black co workers? What can we do better as an industry that generally has so much access to wealth, power, and influence?
