Theoretically it can happen. In practical terms, 99% of those cases are out of three things:
A charade to get an angry customer to go away (pretending to fire an employee)
The last straw in a series of incidents that add up to justify firing the employee (i.e. the employee has repeatedly made a mistake with no improvement over a long period of time)
Misconduct egregious enough to warrant firing them on the spot (for example, the employee punches a customer, or shows up to a job site blackout drunk)
The remaining 1% of cases are truly shitty managers that are a nightmare to work for.
I'm going to go for a bit of a deeper cut and say Mad Rat Dead. They took a genre which relies so heavily on the strength of its music (rhythm platformer), and produced a soundtrack where literally every song is a banger, and produced some great emotional moments as well--the transition from Cottage House to Kind of Hope and Neuchatel still makes me choke up just thinking about it.
Curiously, it seems that if I constantly scroll down and keep immediately loading comments, it seems to work. But if I stop and actually read, once I reach the bottom it won't load any more.
Side note, some feedback in the UI regarding what's going on would be helpful--a little pop-up or loading icon when it loads more comments.
It used to be persistent, but it's actually stopped happening the past few days--for example, I just loaded a 900-comment post. Previously, it would give up and stop loading new top-level comments after the 3rd or 4th batch (for a grand total of roughly 30-40 comments), but today it loaded several hundred comments without issue.
I don't know if it's a recent change to the app, an update to my Lemmy instance, or something else. I'll keep monitoring, and update this post if it starts happening again.
Works better than non-stick, and keeps the pan clean enough for immediate reuse, which is really nice e.g. if you're baking multiple batches of cookies for a holiday event
Not a part of blahaj, but the impression I've gotten from what I've seen (primarily in the lemm.ee megathread) is that for better or worse hexbear takes the concept of radical transparency and debate to its fullest extreme. For the better, it can produce some intensely thought provoking discussions--I've had to reevaluate and reconsider my own personal ethics more in the past week or so than I have in the past few years.
But the downside is that it's Just. So. Exhausting. I fully agree that everything they discuss has a political undertone to it in some way. It feels like they just cannot turn off, and I always have to be on my guard when they get involved in any discussion, even if it's nominally about a completely non-political topic. Even when they're making high effort posts instead of spamming emojis and pig poop balls, every discussion feels like a minefield, where the slightest misstep gets you punished with a "here's a response that implies/outright states you're woefully misinformed at best and a protofascist nazi at worst, here's a link to an obscure book written by a communist scholar 50 years ago that you should read before even trying to discuss this topic." Hexbear getting involved in a discussion is the discourse equivalent of a group playing 4-player FFA Smash Bros. with items on and someone rolls up and demands 1v1, no items, tournament ruleset only.
I feel like I just cannot relax when hexbear is active in a discussion, and it's not even like I really disagree with their points--yes, the US is too powerful, yes, capitalism is bad--but I strongly disagree with their conclusions (supporting China and Russia because it weakens the US is the equivalent of voting for Trump because Biden/Hillary isn't liberal enough.) It's just that they are so laser-focused on debate and so ready to believe the worst in everyone (they called using "top kek" a holocaust denier dogwhistle FFS, that shit originated from freaking world of warcraft, and was popularized on 4chan back when it was just a shithole instead of a racist shithole! I occasionally use it because I'm an elder millennial and I like making dated references!) that even if you support their overall goals and philosophy, you still walk away mentally exhausted because of how carefully you had to parse your words to avoid stepping on a landmine.
Not OP, but I think the point they're making is that LTT screwed up the video, and that the drama sparked from LTT's screwup gave Billet a lot of publicity they wouldn't have had otherwise.
Personally, I'd trade the publicity for my only working prototype and $2,000 GPU back and a video that didn't shit on me, but if you believe any publicity is good publicity...
The lawsuit hinges on unwelcome public identification. Ironically, the parties here sue in their own names, filing in federal district court in Washington state and creating a public record of what the suit terms their “unpopular opinions.” By their own identification, they are:

They're not sending their best and brightest, folks
This is admittedly REALLY pedantic, but there were some non-game cartridges released for the NES and SNES, such as Taboo: The Sixth Sense (a tarot card reading program), Miracle Piano (a program for teaching how to play the piano), Mario Paint (a basic music composition and drawing program), and a modem add-on for the Famicom that supported banking, stock trading, and horse race betting.
Part of it is loopholes, but an equally big part is that we tax the way the rich earn their money differently. Most working- and middle-class earners make their money from a wage or salary, which is taxed as income. However, the rich make almost all of their money through dividends on stocks, low- or no-interest loans backed by assets, and selling stocks through the market or companies (that they have a seat on the board) doing stock buybacks. All of the income made from the above are taxed differently as "capital gains tax," which is usually taxed at a much lower rate than income.
Oh, please. AI does shit like this all the time. Ask it to spell something backwards, it'll screw up horrifically. Ask it to sort a list of words alphabetically, it'll give shit out of order. Ask it something outside of its training model, and you'll get a nonsense response because LLMs are not capable of inference and deductive reasoning. And you want this shit to be responsible for teaching a bunch of teenagers? The only thing they'd learn is how to trick the AI teacher into writing swear words.
Having an AI for a teacher (even as a one-on-one tutor) is about the stupidest idea I've ever heard of, and I've heard some really fucking dumb ideas from AI chuds.
You know it's coming. Why would a streaming company want a consumer buying one month, binging a single show they're interested in, then immediately cancelling the subscription after, when you could guarantee a 6- or 12-month revenue stream for them?
It also didn't help that in ancient times pigs apparently had a propensity for digging up graves and eating corpses... (Not 100% sure if this is true, but my high school teacher was Jewish and mentioned that as one of the main reasons for why pork isn't kosher)
The problem with your equivocating is that the Republicans haven't even been able to turn up the usual "DC status quo" corruption. The absolute worst they've been able to find so far is that Hunter promised (but never actually delivered) access to his dad, lied on his taxes, likes his nose candy, and is hung like a horse. Nobody's scandalized over this because there's nothing to be scandalized over. Hunter isn't part of the administration, there's no evidence he ever discussed business with his dad, and he's getting punished for the crimes he's committed. The real scandal is how much he's been harassed over nothing, up to and including people sending out fucking revenge porn to their followers.
It's very user friendly in terms of tooltips, and if you don't make deliberately bad choices during level up (e.g. taking a feat that gives you a cantrip from the Wizard class... that scales off your INT score... while playing a Barbarian with 8 intelligence that can't cast spells while raging) it's fairly difficult to make an unplayably bad character.
There's a few cases where some general knowledge of D&D is helpful, such as knowing to never take True Strike because it's literally worse than just attacking twice and having some knowledge of good builds is useful, since it helps guide what you take when you level up. That said, there's also entire categories of actions in BG3 that don't really have an equivalent rule in TTRPG 5e, such as weapon proficiency attacks, so online cookie cutter builds don't capture the full extent of what you can do.
