And Onion articles, and other satire.
You didn’t read the article. These are images that appeared in the documentary and were not marked as generated. It was implied they were real photos.
The bridge in Baltimore collapsing after its pier was hit by a cargo ship.
They work better for podcasts than music. For music, they’re better than a phone speaker but worse than cheapo earbuds in terms of sound quality.
I have those exact ones and I love them; I use them for running and when I’m doing stuff around the house but still want to hear people getting my attention. I had a previous version that I also accidentally turned to Chinese but I just learned to recognize the different messages.

Beyond the time/energy cost, you’re comparing two different things: cooking healthy food from scratch vs. buying boxed ‘unhealthy’ food. Buying boxed ‘healthy’ food is more expensive than buying boxed ‘unhealthy’ food, and cooking ‘unhealthy’ food is cheaper than cooking ‘healthy’ food.
For example: I could make a huge mess of white rice and oil very cheaply and quickly. Every other ingredient I add will raise the cost and time investment. People say, “oh, just throw in some eggs/grilled chicken breast/fresh veggies and you have a cheap healthy meal!” but it’s still a lot more expensive to do that (in both money and time) than to just make rice.

Nah, flip that around. What’s a random crackhead going to do with a stolen car? Vs an already-organized and knowledgeable business like a towing company who wants to add a lucrative side gig. That’s who’s doing catalytic converter theft, too.
Culture comes from the top.

So have a lot of other war crimes that we’ve decided aren’t ok any more.
If we do, then they shouldn’t have picked a name that most people think does something it doesn’t.
You might be in a different test group. They always have a few different groups with different settings to check how well the algorithm is meeting their goals. That’s how they know they make less money if they don’t radicalize people.
I believe they do this the same way they do traffic jams, by seeing how many android phones are at the location vs. average.
