Why do we feel the need to be accepted? Because we evolved as social creatures, forced to band together against larger threats to survive, a strong sense of community and social dependency is instilled in us. On top of that, most people are brought up, intentionally or not, with the idea that it is good to conform to society and find your place within the larger whole. It is a very 'tribal' mentality taken to an extreme...

A doctor recommends putting an important iten like a cell phone or purse or wallet next to child so you don't forget your child in the car. What the hell? When did cells or purses become more important than a human life? I doubt he intended to imply that babies are less important than your cellphone. He likely meant that, while you do not normally need a baby in a supermarket you will likely notice the lack of a wallet when going to check out, so you will remember it is in the car. Especially if the baby is sleeping, it is very easy to overlook it if you are not yet used to carrying the baby around a lot....

Unscrupulous men will always attempt to dupe people to make a quick buck. The bottom line, I believe, is that...

What is the break DC of the Moon? I understand this is a joke, however if you wanted a real answer I suppose you could calculate it. The break DC for a 5ftx5ftx5ft section of stone wall is 60. Since 5ft = about 1.5 meters, you could say that the break DC for a 3m cube of stone is double that, so 120. The moon's volume is around 21968000000KM^3...

I think my boyfriend has a secret online personality or something because he has an email from a random girl with a pic and he sent one to her. I know I shouldnt be snooping, but what do i do? Sending a pic to someone isn't anything bad. If you can't trust your boyfriend then perhaps you aren't in a very stable relationship. You should just be honest and ask him, don't accuse or snoop. If I had a female friend online and found my girlfriend snooping around behind my back, I'd be angry with them and probably upset that they didn't trust me.

Answer to:
Why is "space" considered as an invalid character for our nicknames? The real reason is very likely that the name server cannot handle the space character. Some serves strip spaces off of usernames, like AOL. Some simply don't recognize that character. I'm sure if it was easy to impliment, they would have done so. The space character is handled oddly in a lot of software.

My best friend is moving across the country with a boyfriend, even though she's cheated on him with an ex for a year. How can I convince her not to move? Your best bet, in my opinion, is to caution her about cheating and give your best wishes that they have a good life. While it may work for some, you can't be a guardian angel for everyone.

I know these Anonymous down rating trolls are sad, angry, narrow minded, backwater vermin who interbreed and eat their own feces - so why do I get so angry when a thoughtful insight is down rated by these losers? Did I answer my own question? I think your true problem is anger. It is a path to the dark side. (Just like Fast Foods, salty snacks, and too much butter.) Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering. Suffering leads to binge eating. Binge eating leads to obesity. Obesity leads to depression. Depression leads to more anger. Its a dark cycle. I think I had too much coffee this morning.

If we as humans were to have "evolved" into what we are today, why hasn't pooping been made easier and cleaner?

Once more complex life evolved, most organisms would expel waste through the same orifice through which they ingested food,...
