Does anybody still want that? I feel like the Firefly love died right about the time we learned Joss Whedon is a piece of shit
As with most things, it is not that simple. First off, it is not one fish species:
Fall chinook salmon numbers plummeted by more than 90% and spring chinook by 98%. Steelhead trout, coho salmon and Pacific lamprey numbers also saw drastic declines.
That is a big part of the ecosystem, and losing all of that is also bad for people in the long term. Water quality was an issue with these dams, with toxic algae blooms being common. They are also restoring the ecosystem along the riverbanks, which should help mitigate the ever increasing wild fire threat that southern Oregon faces.
On the power production front, Oregon is moving away (albeit slowly) from methane plants. The plan is to be there by 2040, which is just over 15 years, not 30.
Overall, this is not a one or the other kind of thing. Restoring the rivers and habitats can, should, and is being done while simultaneously working to clean up the grid.
Beehaw is really my only social media unless you count personal discord servers, so not a result of doom scrolling in my case. I have just seen what hyper capitalism does to new tech (looking at you, AI). But yeah, good point, in this case labor displacement is more of a concern. The article mentions requiring servers still, so that is what brought to mind the Amazon grocery stores.
Gods, I wish we lived in the kind of society where when I see something like robot servers I could simply say, "That is cool." Unfortunately thanks to the capitalist hellscape we are in, my reaction is "How are they going to exploit people to make this work." Like how the Amazon grab and go grocery stores turned out to be just people being paid super low wages
Yup. All around bad for people. Much like the Safeway Albertson's merger was also very bad.
Gods I hope this merger is killed. It would be so bad for all consumers. In my neighborhood there are 4 grocery stores. 2 Safeways, 1 Fred Meyer, and a Grocery Outlet. If it goes through, that is 75% Kroger. At least if I go a few miles down the road there is a local chain (that is sadly super expensive, think whole foods but local) and a Trader Joe's.
Yeah, with the hate being thrown at Chinese folks over COVID, I get it. The "no feminist propaganda" combined with the history of the devs just smells like "don't look too close, and if you do, don't talk about it."
I cannot speak for Elise, but i don't think the issue people have been having is with the game itself or adapting Journey to the West. The issue is the developer having a history of sexism combined with the recently revealed list of don'ts pointed out in this article.
We call that smothered here on the west coast, but you have to request it.
