We started a charity to alleviate wild fish suffering. We spent $30k trying to contact fish farmers via email. This didn't work, so we gave up. We consider the project a success. - eviltoast

      Im just amazed they went to fish farmers with ‘farmer friendly’ outreach, yeah people are really waiting for more outreach on that. Wonder how many people who didn’t initially delete/ignore the emails looked at the site : https://www.piscivita.org/ and went ‘nah’ in greek and closed the site. (try switching to a different language and click around on the site (oops forgot to translate the site except for the main page)).

      “Speaking to farmers during the conference proved difficult due to the language barrier and difficulty finding interpreters” no shit.

      It bothers me a bit as after all these years you would expect EA to be reasonably good at setting up these kinds of EA franchises, but I guess they don’t do ‘how to’ guides and only have after action reports and that is it.

      They saw it but didn’t internalize the message, they were just waiting until they could stand up their own organization to try to stop me, the acausal robot god.
