Expectating

The act of smugly waiting for someone to pick the fucking ball up and do something while a swirl of consensus gathering and discussion without decision results in cloudy direction. Most commonly used in inner dialog. It's the exact opposite of "?!!" or "Let's try."

My brain hurts from EXPECTATING all morning. Something great will come of all of this. I'm sure everyone will read my mind soon enough. We just need to keep talking."

EV (expected value)

In poker, EV (or expected value) is the amount of money a player is expected to win in a given situation, based on math.

EV=F($POT)+C(%WIN$WON)-C(%lose$lost)
%win/lose= equity
$won/lost= number of big blinds

You should bet 10bb on this flop, it will give you the highest EV (expected value)

Expectations

Impossible or unrealistic expectations are not something anybody is going to live up to.

Some people were expecting the guy to work himself out until he physically resembled Superman in order to keep his job, and since drugs were like kryptonite, they didn't want him to touch any drugs, they wanted him to comly with their agenda, their program. Their expectations were never really realistic, since the guy was always going to end up doing human shit like everybody else did.

Expectations

Impossible or unrealistic expectations are not something anybody is going to live up to.

Some people were expecting the guy to work himself out until he physically resembled Superman in order to keep his job. They didn't want him touching drugs, since drugs were like kryptonite, they wanted him to comply with their wholesome agenda/program. They called it lighting a fire under his ass. They could not under any circumstances, let the guy do what they were paying him to do or be human instead of superhuman, they had to turn his best efforts into bullshit over doing human shit that other humans did, and not satisfying their expectations.

Expectations

Telling somebody who already is the way they are to be themselves, then telling them to be more, do more, is an unrealistic expectation.

Unrealistic expectations don't allow anybody to improve on their own terms, so they don't really allow somebody to improve at anything. People don't try to improve at something for or because of a program. Really, they are better off deprogramming themselves, and unplugging from the bullshit.

social justice two-way expectation rule

An ethical rule that states that before an individual can start calling out other people for making discriminatory comments or performing biased actions against minorities, the individual must first acknowledge and deal with their own implicit and explicit biases, as well as effectively manage their emotions, so they can lead by example. This includes recognizing biases that are not typically viewed as being part of social justice. (That means you must confront biases like Privilege of the Living and Political Identity Privilege.) It is recommended that when calling someone out over biased comments or behavior that you try to so in a calm and polite manner, so they are less likely to feel attacked, and to avoid supporting the stereotypes about social justice supporters spread by some far-right wing political commentators. Basically, if you expect other people to listen to you and change their behavior in order to be less biased, then you have to be willing to deal with your own biases and privilege and control your emotions.

The social justice two-way expectation rule is an important ethical responsibility for any person considering standing up to discrimination, because if you don’t deal with your own biases first, then a lot of people will ignore you due to the fact you don’t practice what you preach. Failing to deal with your biases prior to calling someone out can also negatively impact the views of social justice in other people as they may see the movement as being just being all talk, without producing any real results.
