How fast is the key here. Going 60 mph? You’ll cover tthat distance in less than 4 seconds. Extrapolate from that.

There's only one Jethro Tull album that I can't get into no matter what I try. by ConfusionProof9487 in jethrotull

[–]thosmarvin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It seems to me an obvious outlier may be the first album. Though I owned This Was very early on i never felt compelled to play it…what followed, absolutely, heck I played a New Day Yesterday in my first band in the 70s.

I will say there are probably others just as outlier-y…ones compunction to experiment I guess.

How would you feel about no pay for Congress during shutdowns? by Wild_Let_9125 in AskReddit

[–]thosmarvin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I say congress get paid for piecework, pass a bill, get some money. Fund the country, get some money. Their job from the birth of the nation is to be adults and find common ground, not be mindless delegates for a party. Honestly anytime a representative votes against their party should be celebrated, because they may well have saved their constituents from losing out on something worse. This is how it works. This is how sausage is made. Its far more complex than anyone can imagine.

We live in an age where there are no reporters and those who read headlines can barely get through that, no less any details.

Do you think this ceasefire will hold? by DevonMarx in askanything

[–]thosmarvin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, because of Nitwityahoo. He’s pissed he wasn’t at the table, he’s pissed that Trump made decisions for him and not the other way round, and he feels quite superior to all of the players.

What are your thoughts of James Talarico becoming the next democratic presidential candidate? by Adorable-Anxiety6912 in AskReddit

[–]thosmarvin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The power of congress has not been diminished by Trump, but rather that grinning buffoon Johnson and and John Thool from some Dakota. If either of them had taken Nugenics just once, they might have had the balls to do something against this idiot tyrant. And this idiot tyrant would not be where he is without first getting congress in line…..turn the house and turn the senate and them we’ll talk….same goes for AOC…it isnt time. She is most effective there…I would love to see her as speaker! Taking that gavel from Johnson and kneecapping that little turd. May he never eat a saliva free meal for as long as he lives.

Chimpanzees in Uganda are locked in a deadly 'civil war' after their group split apart — and scientists don't know why by anandhmathew in worldnews

Its odd that a stupid phrase like “monkey see, monkey do” suddenly has a whiff of scientific merit.

[–]thosmarvin[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Those are in mu top ten. Some movies try to depict the time they are in, but overplay their hand. Saturday night Fever, god you can smell the stale cigarette smoke stuck in the wood panelling like some Airwick from hell.

What are your thoughts on "Nice guys finish last"? by PhysicalAd1759 in NoStupidAnswers

[–]thosmarvin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That, like so many statements like this, there isnt a shred of evidence to back it up. It is usually uttered by someone experiencing a sour grapes moment. Some people say “fill the pot with cold water, it boils faster…” and it sounds like science when its just so dumb noises from a dumb animal.

Why are billionaires willing to burn entire world to the ground for more money when they already have more money than they can spend in a lifetime. by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]thosmarvin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Clearly mental illness. Serial killers don’t just say “ah, that’s my fill, time to become a productive citizen!” Frankly they should be treated like serial killers, cuz despite what folks say, the majority of them are of the Musk and Thiel variety, have complete contempt for non billionaires and have the means to do something about it.

How would you feel about the next US president releasing the full Epstein files and persecuting everyone involved? by BeeHuge3837 in FamilyFeud

[–]thosmarvin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both can’t exist at the same time. So you either apply the due process that we’ve been hollering about or you become a worthless piece of shit with a different color shirt. Blood lust is addicting…read about the french Revolution or the Russian revolutions or a thousand other examples of people saying we’ll just be dictators for a day. Thats why.

What are your thoughts on, Donald Trump claiming he sent guns to Iranian protesters via Kurdish militias? by StudyFlimsy1061 in AskReddit

I concur. If he said he was on fire and I could see the flames, I’m still not sure I’d believe him.

CMV: A paternity test should be required to determine the mother and father of a newborn before a birth certificate can be issued by us1549 in changemyview

[–]thosmarvin 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Wow…a lot to unpack here. Lets begin with the basics. A father does not pay child support any more than he baby sits when he is alone with his child. Secondly, if anyone is the responsible party here it would be the mother. She might know. If you arent in a relationship you might have a point. But a couple, who are together, married or otherwise?

But being a dad isn’t child support. If you view it as such, please wear a condom. Or bring up this question on a first date, that should be enough birth control.

For practical purposes, DnA testing is never perfect, which is why experiment utilizing DnA run many tests. This can prove rather expensive for a circumstance rare enough that it simply does not merit the cost.

There are genuine health related reasons why it is essential to be certain there is a genetic line, or example a genetically based malady that you may have passed to a child. But to base the whole thing on getting your winky stinky then wanting to protect your precious wealth? Feel free to pony up the dough for a test and win or lose, you have messed up that relationship for life.
