But I don't get why you say that socialist media claimed that American evil motives are lies?

The usual American definition of socialism differs from ours by several magnitudes. Basically it starts at the edge of this guy's philosophy.

Haters always hate. And many haters are liars also.

After Fresh's post I get that you didn't mean socialist in the sense of Eastern Europe

 

[WWGD]

It is very true, at least to many people outside the US.
The US invaded other countries not solely for the help as they claimed, as they had other plans to grow their military power and control in those countries. When they got disclosed, the media worldwide particularly those from socialist countries called them lies and fallacies. Still, their original claim and actual help were to be recognized even though their dark side of the helpfulness was stinky enough not to be easily eradicated.

I think you may be misinterpreting my point. Reagan was proclaiming his radically anti-state position in this video.

I found a chicken!

It had baby chickens following her! The baby chickens were very tiny and cute.

I tried to capture one because they looked so cute and I wanted to touch them. But... I won't tell you whether I succeed or not in capturing one. I... I don't want to talk about it.

But..you've posted it on a forum. Do you want people to reply or not??

Ps. Did the mother chicken chase you away??

When i was a kid we raised baby chickens every summer at Grandma's.
They don't have sense to stay out from underfoot.

When one gets taller than about 3 feet he must be very careful to not step on them. Makes one feel awful.
If that's what happened, well, you're not the first.

How did you guess? Man, she got all hysterical about it. I was definitely not expecting that reaction. It was just so sudden that I got scared for a while there and made a run for it. I was like: "Ahhh, what the?... What's this reaction?! What do... What the..." *while running*

Afterwards, I tried to sneak, but she went nuts about it again and I couldn't get closer. I think she was overreacting . I wasn't going to hurt them, I just wanted to touch them.

hysterical - deriving from or affected by uncontrolled extreme emotion.

You raised baby chickens? That sounds pretty nice . You have touched them? Are they soft?

Oh no, I didn't step on them. Once discovered by Mommy Chicken I couldn't even get close.

Past experiences; I've been chased by a chicken ( and a flock of geese) . It sounds hilarious ( sorry but the thought of a human being chased by a bird is very funny).

You know you can get these chicks at a pet store, they cost very little.

fuzzy, downy soft , and fun to hold. They get tame pretty quickly.

I also raised a petty newly hatched blue jay whose nest had got blown down in a windstorm. What a great pet for a kid. Jays are smart .

Small note: I said "overreacting", but I'm just kidding. I know she wasn't overreacting. But all in all she took me by surprise since I wasn't expecting that reaction from her.

You too have been chased?! It wasn't only me then. Geese too?!

I must admit it was comical. If I see someone else chased by a bird I would probably laugh too.

The places I always live never allow pets . That's why I was happy when I found a chicken with baby chickens in the wild. Though I didn't expected it to turn out the way it turned out .

I searched for blue jay and found some pictures . It looks awesome! That bird is very pretty .

It is decided. I must touch one yes or yes.

Psinter's Mission Number 34: Capture a baby chicken to touch it.

Let's start the training. My coach is this cat:

Spoiler

Cat coach: Faster Psinter, faster! Give me more power! You run like a baby and your breathing is irregular! Control your breathing!
Me: I'm tired!
Cat coach: What did you just say?! Tiredness is in your mind! It's all mental! Now give me more speed on your sprinting!

Unless the bird is a cassowary.

(Yes, 90 years ago, but attacks do happen even today now and then, they are just not fatal.)

I grew up in a small rural town and my first summer job when I was a kid was collecting eggs at a local egg farm. For six hours a day I walked through this huge three story chicken barn surrounded by a huge mass of chickens who all wanted to kill me. They pecked relentlessly at my legs and by the end of the day I had no feeling left in them. It was a surreal experience.

Kind of a fun day. I was walking and thinking about an old joke and, without notice, I started smiling. I noticed this after people walking opposite my direction started smiling back, thinking I was smiling at them.

I've often speculated it's not all visual, includes some sort of "vibes" that' are sensed subliminally .
You were after all in a happy frame of mind.

Could be, I have noticed something similar a few times. Weirdly, if you just choose to smile for a while, it seems you start actually feeling happier, maybe somehow "resonating with happiness" . And it seems memory is also mood-specific in that when you are happy, you tend to remember other happy experiences. Still, seems like a recipe for disaster , or at least difficulties, if/when you are depressed.

 

[zoobyshoe]

And it seems memory is also mood-specific in that when you are happy, you tend to remember other happy experiences.

The psychiatric community now calls that, "Emotional Google": you automatically call up memories that are similar in mood to the one you're currently in.

Exactly. Things that aren't relevant to your current mood get filtered out. Confirmation bias, "I can't remember a time when I wasn't depressed."

Incidentally, I just made this up.

My post about being hounded by murderous chickens was true, though. I was taking their eggs.

For the record they are classified. Maybe in the future they will get unclassified.

Poor zooby! I hope the salary was good and that your legs recovered. That was Chicken Siege.

dictionary's definition of siege - a military operation in which enemy forces surround a town or building, cutting off essential supplies, with the aim of compelling the surrender of those inside.

my definition of siege - a relentless and vicious attack.

Surrender zooby, surrender! Chicken used peck...

Here is someone else (very famous, a classic in the game industry) being chased by chickens:

Clean one's wind instruments occasionally.

He withered away for 7 years. Doctors didn’t realize his passion was killing him.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...rs-didnt-realize-his-passion-was-killing-him/

An X-ray suggested pneumonia, a blood clot in the lungs or an exacerbation of the still mysterious HP. A CT scan ruled out a clot but showed that the lung scarring that had started seven years earlier had gotten worse.

Doctors gave him a cocktail of drugs to treat what they thought was bacterial pneumonia. When those didn’t work, they added Posaconazole therapy, used to treat pneumonia caused by fungi.

Despite their efforts, the man died on Oct. 10, 2014.

According to the paper, when doctors initially tried diagnosing the man’s illness, they overlooked his daily hobby: playing the bagpipes.

Tests conducted on the man’s bagpipes found a slew of fungi and yeast living inside the musical instrument.
