food is a big part of every culture and it is something everyone has to deal with several times a day. That already brings in a lot of opportunities where someone's diet is relevant to conversation. And, veganism goes beyond diet. I don't think they necessarily do it on purpose, you probably don't notice how often you bring up specifically the opposite of veganism.

thank you! every time I see this I get upset.
You could just as easily have a confusing sentence with the Oxford comma like this
"We invited JFK, the stripper, and Stalin."
is JFK a stripper?
It doesn't matter, it's the author's responsibility to write things unambiguously.
I told my gf's parents to watch it and just to start at the beginning because "they're all great!"
Took a while after they told her that they really didn't like it for me to realize what I had done.
I don't see how it's backwards, the word drives clicks and is commonly used. It's unfortunate but most journalism has to be profit-motivated to survive these days.
I kinda alluded to it but they probably don't want to ban the word because it's commonly used and it drives clicks.
yeah, unfortunately they need to make money to exist. And that creates all sorts of incentives that aren't great. I still like journalism and think it's an important part of a working society, but I decided pretty quickly after studying it that I didn't want to be part of it
I studied news journalism in college and they kinda hammered in that in news journalism it's more important to communicate information consistently and to target a wide audience than it is to make "good writing."
There are style guides you have to follow and words like "slammed" end up getting used a lot despite not quite being accurate because they're words that are used a lot.
The other thing is that usually the person writing the headlines isn't the journalist.. and sometimes they do a lot of versions of the same headline and when people click more because of the word slammed it ends up sticking.
this is so dystopian. Imagine spending your career honing your skill as an actor, dying and then having a computer replace you with just a photograph as a source. How is that honoring an actor??
An actual, practical example is generating video for VR chats like Apple has somewhat tried to do with their headset. Rather than using the cameras/sensors to generate and animate a 3d model based on you, it could do something more like this, albeit 2d.
the scientists build the robots. Society and its corruption will determine how they get used. I don't think it's a reason to not build robots or to say they're not worth making. At some point in the future, society may collectively improve and the robots will be there to use.
of all the things scientists do, making robots that can do dangerous or even tedious labor isn't that bad.
