Lori Lightfoot is goddamned terrible in every way possible.

Non-compete agreements are considered either wholly or largely unenforceable under the laws of California, North Dakota, Oklahoma, and DC. Other states, including Maine, Maryland, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Washington, have banned non-compete agreements for low-wage workers.

It's a provision in an employment agreement that restricts someone from working with a competitor of the hiring organization for a certain period of time after that person leaves that employer.

@Pikachu - did you post something about my question? Edit: got it!

Unlike practically everything else we discuss, this is one subject area that I wouldn't even know where to begin.

I have no idea as I'm absolutely unqualified on every level to even begin opining on it.

Look at the title of this thread

A month from release is kinda early for review codes to be distributed.

This perception of the public -- and let's be real: this primarily applies to minority/marginalized groups -- as the "enemy" has only gotten worse as police forces have worked with former military consultants who specialize in instructing them in counter-insurgency (COIN) techniques that were developed for and evolved in Iraq and Afghanistan. The truly "amusing" thing is that a key element of the successful execution of those COIN techniques is to make every effort to win the "hearts and minds" of populations from whom the insurgents are likely to be drawn. Perhaps unsurprisingly, this particular facet of COIN OPS genuinely appears to be lost on a not-insignificant number of American police departments.

Part II of I/F/O's "The Worst Films of 2022"

I think we can safely assume that the vast majority of this show's production budget was allocated to the last 1/3 of the season All-in-all, this was an enjoyable/entertaining season and I don't regret the time that I spent watching it! Hopefully this provides a solid foundation to build upon for a second season (should there actually be one). I will gladly watch a spinoff series entirely devoted to the trolls though! Edit: There were a couple of lines in the finale that made me chuckle. One was when one character asked Elora if she could shoot lightning from her fingertips and I thought to myself that her response should've been "No, but there's an evil old guy elsewhere in this universe that can!" (see my previous post where I claim that Willow takes place in the Star Wars universe) and another line where Kit is called a "shield" and "sword" that reminded me of the E3 2006 trailer for Halo 3:

Believe me - it's a proper remake. Black Mesa expands and streamlines certain sections of the original. In fact, the entire Xen section is completely re-worked to be practically unrecognizable.
