That evolution is some linear process where organisms evolve into something more "advanced" and that the original species just magically goes away when the "advanced" new species appears.

Found out my girlfriend has been cheating on me for the last 2 months, I've honestly never felt this low in my life, how do people deal with these kind of feelings? by s_dafuq_jin AskReddit

What is the most computer illiterate thing you've witnessed? by Peppe22in AskReddit

[–]ruotwocone 0 points1 point ago

my dad does the same thing. he can program in basic and c++ (he's old). he's a genius in illustrator. and he still double clicks fucking everything. i asked him why and he responded that, "it functions the same as a single click on things that only need one, and this way i don't have to remember which to double and which to single."

What are some boyfriend/girlfriend/relationship hacks? Example from my girlfriend inside. (Potentially NSFW?) by cjknjknin AskReddit

[–]ruotwocone 0 points1 point ago

yes. in general: men want resolution women want affirmation

she doesn't want the problem fixed, all you need to say is "I understand. I would feel the same way in your situation"

"I understand" gets me laid more than any other phrase I've ever said to my wife.

Need advice whether to go for surgery or not. by icando2backflipsin cancer

I'm with you. If he's healthy enough for surgery, it could mean the difference between beating cancer and delaying dying from it for a while

seconded. for that matter you can make mozzarella with vinegar or lemon juice, but rennet should always be your first choice! tell her good luck!

Did you ever have a moment of "evil genius" that you actually went through with? by EvaSylvestrein AskReddit

[–]ruotwocone 25 points26 points ago

once this ginger kid tricked me into buying his pubes (i was a 4th grader at the time and didn't know you had to grow them yourself). when I figured out how I was screwed out of my cash, I devised a plot that ended with me cooking his parents into chili and tricking him into eating it. the baby cried like a little girl when he found out what he had done!

Just monkeying around by BinaryCatDNAin pics

[–]ruotwocone 54 points55 points ago

sorta. the pan genus is composed of two species - pan troglodytes (your standard "chimp" that you think of) and pan paniscus (bonobos). "chimpanzee" can refer to either simply pan troglodytes or to both pan species together.

Local news story on my good friend who is 29 and has stage 4 colon cancer by ruotwoconein cancer

[–]ruotwocone[S] 1 point2 points ago

Thank you! In her interview, she actually mentioned that her aunt died of colon cancer a few years ago (and that she has a hereditary type of colon cancer), but I believe that part of the interview was left on the cutting room floor.

Just got diagnosed and don't know what to do by Starcrusherin cancer

[–]ruotwocone 2 points3 points ago

My wife (stage 4 colon cancer) loves using caringbridge to vent about what's going on in her cancer world and our friends and family love it too because it helps them feel more in-the-loop.

Also, TakeThemAMeal has been a huge help for us. With the chemo schedule, putting meals together gets hard. We've had great support from friends and family bringing us meals once or twice a week.

The kitchen in the chemo area where my wife goes always has tons of ensure that's free for patients to take home. might be that when you start treatment there will be something like that where you are.

SHORT GUYS: How do you deal with Life as a short person? by Gladihaterin AskReddit

[–]ruotwocone 2 points3 points ago

I'm 5'6" and can honestly say it doesn't bother me at all. The only time I think I've ever grumbled about it would be if a girl said something like, "wow, that guy is so hot. I mean, look how tall he is." I'd get a little upset thinking it's unfair, then remember that it's just the girl equivalent of having small boobs. Girls can't really help boob size any more than I can get taller (ok, they can eat a ton or get pregnant, so it's not a perfect comparison). I remember that there are lots of guys who like small boobs too (myself included) and realize that just because there is a general preference for taller men, doesn't make me unattractive.

From a professional side people respect me because I'm smart, I'm competent, and I know it. I don't think my height has ever affected me professionally.

Reddit, what is your favourite running joke in a t.v show? by JesusJuice45in AskReddit

[–]ruotwocone 525 points526 points ago

I personally prefer the running "this is how we get ants" comments every time somebody spills food.

Please help: Loved one was recently diagnosed with breast cancer and is now ignoring advice of her oncologist. She is now taking the "holistic approach" at the advice of her naturopath and I need to put together sources to help convince her otherwise. by MIXEDGREENSin cancer

[–]ruotwocone 4 points5 points ago

quackwatch is a great place to go. try and figure out where she is planning to go/what she is planning to take. then find out everything you can on it. when you present your data to your loved one, make sure to remember that nobody wants to hear that they are wrong - and if you say it straight out, they can shut down to your help very quickly. Make sure to reassure her that the decision is ultimately hers, but you care - and you might even remind her that you have more invested in her well being than her naturopath (also,you may want to figure out what you can about the person and see if there are other people out there calling him/her a quack)

this. seriously. going into the catacombs and not being able to do anything in a pre-let's look it up on the internet world was terrible. my brother and i wandered around in there for weeks before giving up.
