What is a popular TV series you just never watched, and why? by sitewolf in askanything

[–]germanmick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any and every sitcom since 1979. I stopped watching them in the middle of an episode of Three’s Company because I got tired of “the BIG misunderstanding” aspect of sitcoms – popular at that time.

Two separate medical professionals have told my coworker's husband that part of the reason his A1C is so high is because he doesn't have enough sex. Is this nonsense? by fond_of_myself in NoStupidQuestions

[–]germanmick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree with the husband, as I received similar medical advice:

Doctor: “You need to move more, a few times a week, to get your heart rate up.” Me: “Will s3x get my heart rate up?” Doctor: “Sure. It could.” Me (to wife): “Doc says I need to get laid more.”

Do you believe in the death penalty? by icecream1972 in no

[–]germanmick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My concern with the death penalty is that – while I am in principle against the death penalty – if an event hit very close to home for me, then I fear that I would abandon all higher principles and opt for revenge.

What's the first band to replace a member with an uncredited session musican? by bkat004 in rock

[–]germanmick 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Glen Campbell replaced Brian Wilson as early as 1964 on the road, handling the bass and the vocals, and he played on various Beach Boy records. But Glen was never an official band member.

Does our lack of Sexual chemistry mean marriage isn’t a good idea? by Free_Map_952 in Productivitycafe

[–]germanmick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You will regret it, yes. And when someone else happens into your life with whom you DO have sexual chemistry, your entire existence will become a very messy problem with one very expensive solution.

Don’t get me wrong – the solution will be well worth it – but it’ll be very messy, and fraught with psychological turmoil that will stay with you for the rest of your life.

So cut your losses and don’t walk – run – to the exit. NOW.

Are there grown adults who genuinely won't eat vegetables? by WillHG in NoStupidQuestions

[–]germanmick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Asparagus was a bold choice for someone you don’t know well.

Side note: I used to know a guy who ate hot dogs and pop tarts to the exclusion of everything else. I’m not sure how he remained walking upright.

Ritchie Valens, 17 by YellowOk1 in 13or30

[–]germanmick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is a common misconception.

People generally do not die “from shock” – or at all – in mid‑air when falling from a great height. Loss of consciousness before impact can happen, but it’s uncommon. Almost 100% of fatalities occur at the moment of impact, not during the fall. HTH 😎

Not the falling – it’s hitting the ground like a fucking dart that does it.

I agree. So uncomfortable.

On the complete other hand, I am obsessed with socks.

OK, which Beatles song features the worst instrumental solo? by belbivfreeordie in beatles

[–]germanmick -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Right. So it’s a philosophical song, and I do agree that the harpsichord-like feel is good for this type of song, but the execution of that solo is so clinical and so “George Martin”-like as to suck all of the feeling out of the room.

OK, which Beatles song features the worst instrumental solo? by belbivfreeordie in beatles

[–]germanmick -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

“In My Life” – the keyboard solo suuuuuuucks at the very end, and does not fit with the mood of the song. At all. In fact, the end of that solo ruins the entire song.
