    According to Bloomberg, its [Shell’s] business plan “puts oil and gas front and center while giving low-carbon efforts a smaller supporting role,”

    …the oil and gas giant set the task of ‘giving millennials a reason to connect emotionally with Shell’s commitment to a sustainable future.’

    Wow, Shell. Fuck you too.

    People (especially the rich old guys who make decisions like this) make the mistake of thinking that young people are dumb. They’re not. I hope this condescending attempt at manipulation turns into the well-publicized fiasco that it deserves to be.

      Well, not yet. They should normally become quite concerned, because most of their adult life will be fucked thanks to Shell et al. But if you feed them with propaganda at a young age, you can subvert that.

        They are desperate because there is no straightforward pivot for oil and gas. The most the ones that run has stations can do is transition their convenience stores into electric vehicle charging stations. The ones that just extract fossil fuels out of the ground don't even have that. Their assets are worthless.

      Lol streamers are the biggest shills in the history of the earth. They don't give a fuck what they are selling as long as they get the bag.

    As the match progresses, the playable area within the world gradually constricts, giving the players less and less room to work with; outside this safe zone is "the Storm", which inflicts damage on those caught inside it, with the amount of damage growing as the Storm itself does.

    I like this metaphor for the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effects_of_climate_change.
