#Tempering
Also the media can be so dumb; any “tempering” wouldn’t be that, it’s not tempering to dial it down from an 11 to a 9

A morally and practically appropriate tempering would be to just resign

Does not bode well for the tempering of authoritarianism post-defeat.
Trump: "I am pleased to announce that Mr. Stephen Miller, the current Deputy Chief of Staff of the Trump Administration, & one of my most trusted advisors, will become Chief of Staff starting Monday. Susie Wiles, who has done an outstanding job, will be moving over to the Trump Political Operation."

Tempering expectations.. but remaining hopeful

“Woke is back” meaning there’s a chance for the slight tempering of the outright persecution of anyone not a cishet wealthy white man will never not be insane to me. Bc that was never what that word meant.
The CNN panel doing a segment on whether "woke is back" is funny as hell.

it’s wild to see regular people already yelling at *other* regular people about tempering their expectations and being realistic about what democrats can accomplish

i mean, i don't think the people i'm talking to are miserable scolds, and i think there's ample room for tempering expectations, but, like, bad outcomes aren't the only outcomes available now

Tempering parts of my ego just a bit to satisfy certain kinks

“Your soul already belongs to another god.” slightly scarier phrasing than I remember the introduction of tempering immunity but really funny if Martine is like “it is definitely halone protecting me” here.

found out about tempering and quenching in vintage story. Honestly this is a fucking evil mechanic to me. There's no greater pain than having an item break on me in this game and now they have a risk reward mechanic based around having items break

People /are/ getting themselves worked up into a frenzy about a problem that simply is not very high on the list of priorities in how transit use should change and are incredibly resistant to tempering their tone over it.

Wow. Round of applause for chocolatiers. I have enough problems simply tempering mine. 🤣

Tempering my expectations, but man it would be nice if *for once* Ohio didn't straight-up poop the bed tonight.

I don’t want to say I’m resigned exactly, but the injury list is tempering my expectations.

Yes, not saying they shouldn't ask, just tempering expectations on getting quick results out of this. Also, there are reasons to think a court might view an oversight subpoena differently from a grand jury subpoena when it comes to the misconduct exception.

Protests like the one where a Congressional candidate was physically assaulted by an ICE agent on camera during a peaceful protest, a candidate who was then indicted for crimes that required falsified evidence presented to the grand jury and jury tempering to even get billed?

What’s your biggest surprise about the remake overall? I know you both were tempering your expectations before it released. Thank you!
