TFS says you should taper your expectations, going from thin to wide. Should also you temper them, counterbalancing hopeful expectations against the actual current capabilities?
Sure, taper them, start out really excited and then slowly grow in disappointment.:)
School districts do this carp all the time - "pass our desired millage or we'll just have to shut down the football team!" No diversity czar or stupid program at the school ever goes unfunded, of course, just the programs that people actually care about.
It doesn't surprise me in the slightest that you're stupid enough to think that a wall is as ineffective as homeopathy. Intelligent people understand their utility.
History has shown it is wise to constructively engage with your neighbors. Building walls is the opposite of that.
Also, net migration from Mexico is near zero. The main reason for that is economic growth and better job opportunities in Mexico.
Today, most illegals are coming from further south: El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras. $25B spent on economic cooperation with these countries would do infinitely more good than the same money spent on a wall.
Lots of rich liberals have walls around their homes and/or neighborhoods, so they seem to believe that they work.
And the greater their proximity to the poor and desperate, the more likely they are to have those walls.
Either they think their breasts aren't big enough and want to hide them, or they think they're too big and all the boys will be staring at them. (This isn't guesswork; I once asked a woman about it and that's what she told me.)
Also, and this is the reason why he got fired, that difference is minor and the author of the study he cited for it has said publicly that the conclusion it affects women's performance in or preference for engineering jobs is unwarranted.
Well, that's definitive. I mean, it's not like you could get fired for saying that it does affect anything...
Seems like a rather big clue that they went after everyone exact the far-right AFD. If it wasn't an AFD member/supporter it must be someone supporting the far right.
Trust no one.
Something "so obvious" may be just what you are supposed to think.
Is someone who plays a game more of a "mindless zombie" than someone who watches TV?
I'm not saying either activity is probably very healthy if overdone- but surely, playing games where you think and interact is less "mindless zombie" than watching TV where you don't interact at all.
Depends.
Shooting zombies or catching cupcakes or whatever might be a little less intellectually stimulating than a Sherlock Holmes movie or a serialization of The Brothers Karamazov.
So TV, film, music, and everything else is less than the 50 of the "entertainment market" (whatever that may be)?
I would have thought the millions who watch TV programs outnumber the gamers, not the other way around.
So just to be clear... Iran is an actual theocracy.
Not just a "theocracy" like as a slam against your political opponents, not an imaginary theocracy like your Handmaid Tale crap, Iran is an actual theocracy.

I suppose "Cancer death rates plummeting" might not have generated quite as many clicks.
Come on, editors. You're better than this.
They are?
Well, AT&T was already subjected to that fate, but then the parts seem to have reassembled themselves like the liquid metal robot from Terminator 2.
I was thinking more like 80s cartoon robots :)

They've just now discovered preinstalled non-removable apps??
Yes, they suck. They are also why your phone is a little cheaper (at least theoretically) than it otherwise would be.
And Obama said that under Obamacare you could keep your doctor.
Well, er, yeah, but ... but ... orange!

It's a transparently manipulative move.
I am shocked, shocked that anything untoward could happen with an app designed to connect people for anonymous sex!

You should ask the Chinese about the effectiveness of walls.

Meh, I am perfectly well able to have a depression without using any social media.
I know, right?
Pfft, amateurs.

Thankâ(TM)s forâ(TM) tâ(TM)he explâ(TM)anation!
Mr. Rogers had this solved in the 70s, with Trolley!
Great name for a band. Yes, the whole thing, "Super Blood Wolf Moon Eclipse Is Coming Later This Month" :)

In the 80s we called 'em "limousine liberals".
Oh, you thought the high taxes, "fair share", "progressive" stuff applied to us, Google? Ah, no, lol, that's just for you.
Now shut up and pay us to install a surveillance device in your house. (Oh, and go shout at Ajit Pai some more, your two minutes hate isn't over yet.)
"Bring out yer deaaaaaaad!"
"I'm feeling much better!"
"You have 30 seconds to comply!"
Even in Orwellian dystopia the hate was only two minutes ...

Probably make more money off each gamer though.

There is nothing surprising about this at all.

Aiyee! Dystopia! I saw this in manga once!

Woo hoo! You go, totalitarian communist dictatorship!
I know folks don't like partisanship,
{checks site logo to make sure I'm on /., spews coffee}
b. Censorship. Again, ISP no longer have to treat all packets equally. That means if they don't like the Alt-Right (or the left) they can ban them.
So in other words, what's already happening (in only one political direction though) but at the packet layer.
Should save you guys some work; now you won't have to do it at the domain registrar, payment processors, etc.
