    I say grow it out. Nothing wrong with looking like a scientist.

    I know it's time for my kid to get a haircut when he starts looking like Energy Secretary

    This, of course, is where all this is going. Issue isn't ads as much as huge info asymmetry within a social context.

    Facebook is going to turn Messenger into a channel for advertising.

    Facebook collects click stream data even if you are logged out, iirc? Combine personal interaction with your clicks. What could go wrong?

    Preschool is expensive despite the fact staff are paid too little. You simply need more people to properly care for/teach little children.

    So, as a college professor.. It makes sense. It is expensive to do right by small kids. We should help defray costs.

    23 states where preschool costs more than college Care for a 4-yr old is 73% more expensive than college in Florida

    Emoji cultural clash across platforms! It's a bit like I have to adapt to different hand gestures around the world.

    I cannot do justice to the tragedy and the farce of most domestic pro-gov't media in Turkey. It's ... beyond belief at this point.

    Ah, the same "journalist" had "interviewed" Amanpour where she "confessed" she attacked Turkey for bribes!

    same "journalist" responsible for this awesomeness:)

    Much of domestic mass media in Turkey has descended from propaganda to farce, if only it weren't all so tragic. :-(

    "Journalist" keeps saying "ZDF official has his hands in his pockets!" as proof Germany doesn't have press freedoms.

    This is embarrassing. Pro-gov Turkish TV channel A Haber tries a lengthy photo bomb of ZDF. Seriously. (In Turkish).

    That's right. It's the *fourth* murder inside Turkey of a Syrian journalist reporting on ISIS.

    If we took all the money for-profit schools siphon from students and taxpayers and put it in state schools: affordable, useful education.
