semicolonp started a new discussion called Question about number locks.

My dad has an attache case (is that how it's spelled?) whose three-number combination he has forgotten. I'm trying to open it but I'm not good enough at math to figure out how many possible combinations a three-number lock has. I tried starting from 0-0-0 and went up progressively up with 0-0-1, 0-0-2... 0-0-9, 0-1-0... 0-9-9, 1-0-0... 9-9-9 so I've essentially done 1,000 combinations. It st...

I don't really know how I can express my reaction without some spoiler-y bits but suffice to say that the ending saved it for me. I am still skeeved as all hell regarding the relevation about Miwako and Arashi's relationship and I hoped the ending they received was entirely different but the conclusion regarding George and Yukari was exactly what I wanted. I just wished they arrived to that end...

semicolonp responded to a discussion called Between father or to mother: Whom do you think the child is more attached? in questions & answers.

In a case where the mother is a stay-at-home wife and the father works full-time, I agree with your assessment. From what I've read and seen, though, if both parents work full-time and take care of their children after work, there is a pattern I've seen:[b]Daughters:[/b] often closer to their fathers. The relationship might or might not change during the teenage years (as daughters tend to ...

semicolonp responded to a discussion called The Homeless are not all drunks,druggies, or mental cases. in life.

I think it's a stereotype. And just as the case with all stereotypes (haha, I'm generalizing, sorry) it's never 100% accurate but perhaps it's common enough that the minds of people automatically equate one with the other (in this case, that people without homes are all drunks, drug-addicted or mentally ill). Media doesn't help either but if it's worth anything, I've never actually met anyon...

While I do agree that everyone's unique and discussion topics viewed differently by others makes it interesting, in a case where the topic of discussion needs a certain tact and brevity, I find it annoying when someone makes a careless joke. It'll be one thing if you were talking metaphysics or biochemistry or math complexity only for someone to go in and tell you (jokingly) that you're bein...

semicolonp responded to a discussion called If you weren't getting paid here, would you still come to myLot? in mylot.com.

I would probably still visit for the discussions but I doubt I'll be posting any of my thoughts on the matter. I am a lurker at heart and being invisible is how I like my online experience. On previous forums that I've been in, I tend to post some when I'm new then peter out my activity until I become the lurker than I often am. This is troublesome when activity is the basis of earning but that...
