When I first read it I thought the AI would look at your photos, and match you with people on the same hotness scale, which would be messed up of course. But turns out the AI will go through photos to gauge your interest and provide more compatible matches.
While it sounds like an interesting idea, giving tinder full access to your photos is scary, even if it could result in meeting your soulmate :)
For centuries, India’s local and indigenous communities have lived not in conflict, but in harmony with nature. Forests aren’t “wild” to them; they are home. Animals aren’t “less evolved” or “to be saved”; they were fellow beings, even wiser ones, whose instincts shaped the rhythms of life. For ancient societies, even beyond India, Animism was a distinct way of life and existence, one that demanded respect for nature akin to God.
Yes you’re right that real GDP fell by about 26–30% from its peak during the Great Depression which is slightly less than “nearly half.”
As for the unemployment part, national averages never reached 50% but some local communities like industrial cities saw much higher unemployment rates. For example Cleveland hit around 50% and Toledo (Ohio) reached as high as 80% during the early 1930s.
So the “up to 50%” talks about the extreme hardship in certain regions rather than the U.S. as a whole.
One of the Depression’s most indelible symbols was the apple seller.
