My dog just saved me from a rather rabid street cat earlier today and now she's limping. I am unable to send her to a vet by myself (they're pretty far away and rare where I live) and I can only have help Tuesday at the latest....

semicolonp Thanks for this! And sorry, I used the wrong word. The cat was feral, not rabid, and was actually fighting with other cats from the neighborhood when I had the misfortune of disrupting them. The other cats moved to different directions, but this one went...

Have you ever disliked someone for no real reason? They haven't done anything bad to you, and you haven't really seen them do anything bad to anyone. They aren't doing irritating stuff, they're not doing stuff you hate, they might...

semicolonp But I would usually hate someone on first sight.. because of the way they acted. You know what, that's probably it. The way they acted. I think that, even though I don't realize it NOW and I didn't realize it THEN either, that that guy must have...

semicolonp Well, it's not really that there's no reason, it's more that I'm not yet aware of the reason. It's more an unconscious reaction to someone, which is often rooted on individual perceptions. For example, your culture, your upbringing, even your parents' biases...

semicolonp Right? Although in this case, it was more, "I wonder WHAT exactly set me off?" because I don't think he was doing anything really annoying or dislike-inducing. I think it's more something that set me off unconsciously, but I'm still wondering what that was.

semicolonp Oooh. So it's like a third sense when it comes to people, huh? I wonder if it's like that. I think I've had people I've liked/disliked for no other reason but that this was the first time I was actually conscious about it. I don't think it's a gut feeling...

semicolonp Well, it's not really something that we can control, so I don't think it's really bad or something we should feel guilty of. I mean, unless you do something against them, then even the person we dislike isn't affected by it. And actually, I'm not annoyed...

semicolonp Exactly. Exactly that. I still can't quite pinpoint the reason, actually, and from the responses, it seems no one really knows how and why it happens either. Regardless to the reasons, thank you so much for your participation! Maybe we'll figure it out...

semicolonp Right? I really didn't know why but there it was, rearing it's ugly head, haha! I don't know if it was based on stress because I think I'm pretty relaxed right now. But yeah, it just happens randomly. And I still don't know why.

semicolonp Yeah, I guess that might be on reason. I don't think he looks dirty or unkempt or looked mean, but it might just be that we have very different body chemistry and that affected my perception of him. I was joking with my cousin that, if animals can determine...

semicolonp Oh, it's not really that big a deal for me. Once he was done paying his bills (he was ahead of me in the queue), my irritation was also gone. I don't dislike him now that I'm thinking about him to write this post up, either. It was just an instant dislike that...

Anyone notice how, every time it's an election year, unexplained and/or "random" killings, coordinated robberies, and sometimes, even an increase in kidnappings happen? I noticed this during two past elections (can't quite...

semicolonp If he heard it and did not stand at attention or give it the smallest amount of respect, that's actually a really telling thing about his character. You don't judge someone because of the big things they do where everyone can see; you judge them based on the...

semicolonp @rsa101: It doesn't matter if we are an ally of the US, if it comes to helping us versus fighting against the Chinese, I can't see US defending us at all. If there's nothing to be gained, the US won't lift a finger to help us. It's been proven time and again...

As the title says, how many is a few? I have a pretty consistent view of a couple. It's 2 or more, but less than 3. A few, I'm more ambivalent. It's more than 3 and maybe up to 6? But never more than 10. I'm asking this because...

semicolonp Yeah, I'm pretty consistent about a couple. I describe it as "2 or more, but less than 3" in case of fractions. In the case of 2 and a half liters, I'll still say a couple of liters. But now that you've brought in a handful and I don't actually have a set...
