The unfortunate thing about this is the only real answer is "it depends".

If they are but it doesn't impact their work or workplace behavior then it's likely you'll never really know, or not have proper reason to even think of firing them.

If they are and it does get found out of impact performance, then absolutely. The only best case scenario for not firing them would be their presence just making the workplace more hostile. No reason not to can them.

So on the situation given even though it's unfortunate, it's "No". I mean, unless they're shit at their job regardless of racism.

I kinda think her mentioning she wants to move towards YouTube more right after YouTube actually did something about the bot situation may be linked though.

Aside from that, Gen Z is legit almost identical to millennials from my experience, just a bit more sarcastically jaded than mopey.

It's a character action game similar to Bayonetta or DMC. The controls are a little rough around the edges but it flows well enough to not be an issue. It's gimmick of essentially controlling the positioning of a second character on most fights is cool. There are detective segments of sorts since you're a cop in the game, and they're alright--much better than I was expecting tbh, but a bit basic.

It's worth the money if you're a fan of the genre imo.

Industry's goal is still to provide goods that will be used by regular people. There might be a whole bunch transformation steps between what comes out of an an iron mine and the end product of an F-150 truck, but in the end the iron mine is still part of the industry that produces consumer goods. Greenhouse gas emission goes much further than just the electricty/gas bill.

It's part of the reason why it's not productive to compare individual countries performance in greenhouse gas. What part of China's CO2 was used to make goods that were shipped to other countries? Should we blame the country that produced them or ones who ordered them?
The one that produced them. As said, people require goods because... Hell, we're not all going to be farming blacksmith engineer architects by trade. And as mentioned, environmental concerns aren't new, and a lot of them started noticing it and requesting change in the mid 80s. They just favor the cheapest way to do it, and I can understand that... But now we're at a point where we have to question why the fuck haven't they done more than the bare minimum in almost half a century? Wouldn't it have been easier to implement these things and research then over that time as opposed to getting to the proverbial wire?

When is the point we stop blaming the average Joe for needing these things to continue on with every day life as opposed to the countries and corporations opting to destroy everything on their path for the bottom line, including our future?

I have played since beta every day mostly. I have never seen these supposed 100+ card decks. People play 80 card yorion decks though.

I think they only match you up with really bad decks like that if you lose a lot and play your own bad decks.
One of the reasons for using a 100+ card deck is specifically because it breaks that algorithm. You can pad out a deck with unpopular cards to tank the "rating" but in reality just fill it with cards that accomplish the same things but with slightly different mana costs for example, and your deck will generally weight the better ones because the shuffler is trash lol

It's not cheating, it's the deck shuffler being a piece of shit. There are land card and deck card numbers that cause it to weight out more even draws, and it's been like that since release. It's why I only run 62 card decks.

If we're being absolutely honest here, phasing out gas vehicles likely won't happen for anyone but the wealthy and the poor/rural folk won't matter or get ignored. Simply because that's more or less impossible to enforce.

Also governments like to blame people for the emissions but if we're being honest, households driving less and using higher efficiency things in their house isn't gonna do much of anything to help our planet while production facilities and the like are vomiting out gases in quantities that make residential advancements moot.

Dragon's Dogma 2 is likely on the table/in the concepts process since the major hold-up was DMC5 and likely Monster Hunter's sudden runaway success, considering the lead dev actually WANTS to make DD2 and it actually sold better than Capcom was expecting.

That said, GodHand is dead due to it being a Clover title, likely lost to "who owns what" title war shenanigans forever. Which makes me sad. Along with Viewtiful Joe as well.

But honestly, Capcom deserved the hate they got--they were mad greedy for a while, but luckily they managed to take the hate as legit criticism and turned it around somehow.
