Phone books were useful at one point, though less so for individuals.

Not saying you're wrong but it reminded me of a moment when I was a kid. I was all of five years old when I got lost in rural Arizona. I was visiting my grandparents and my cousin and I went out looking for turtles after a monsoon the night before. I got separated from my older cousin and then lost. I wandered around for hours until I found the main road that led through a nearby small town. I managed to hitchhike to the local trading post where the clerk managed to find my grandparents phone number to let them know they had found me.

They were sometimes useful. Also, they were great for prank calls.

I guess if you can't beat them it's the next best thing.

My mom taught me growing up that you can never be too professional. Going by that advice, I think A & B at the same time is the clear answer.

I hear the headless body of Spiro Agnew is on the shortlist.

“Look, Laura Loomer is not affiliated with the Trump campaign. She said something about curry in the White House that I first read about this morning actually, because I knew that you would ask me about it...” [emphasis my own]

These guys are terrible liars. Between him and Trump, they sound like they have no idea what is going on.

You should just become a drug dealing Onlyfans girl then. 🤷

Goodness, this could be my cat. I have a torty named Moosie that looks very similar.

This is correct. I work in bot detections. There are baseline checks for various browser automation used as bot frameworks like Puppeteer or Playwright. Then there is basic analysis of server side and client side fingerprints; meaning, do the fingerprints you claim make sense. There are other heuristics too and I imagine Cloudflare is monitoring movements that point to automation. All of this happens after you click. I personally prefer this over Google's captcha which frequently doesn't recognize me as a human but is easily bypassed by bots.
