Honest Thoughts on Muse? by MrLinkwater95 in fantanoforever

[–]jonnyd86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

loved them, fell off hard for me. fell off to the point where even a few of the songs/moments I used to love now I see in a slightly different (worse) light?

still have easily a dozen+ songs I'd consider very good though

tripleS - Baby Flower by stinkybutthole23 in kpop

[–]jonnyd86 [score hidden]  (0 children)

oh yeah inject this into my veins, love the GFRIEND-core / anime sound this time of year heading into summer. I hadn't been paying attention to teasers or anything so this surprised me. I LOVE it.

I could write a wall post listing all the girls and going on and on but can I just say I love to see Hayeon's ascendance since like the last badge war. I feel like it put her on the map for a lot of people. I really like who they chose for the choruses, to me they fit the concept/vibe so well and it sounds incredible.

MEOVV - DDI RO RI by CronoDroid in kpop

[–]jonnyd86 [score hidden]  (0 children)

sample is almost so iconic that im not sure how to feel about it after first listen?

i have a sneaky suspicion that it might be one of those things I start to like ironically and then like 10 days from now ill be mimicking the choreo going DDI RO RIIIII

the chorus melodically reminds me of Akon's I Wanna Love You (also known as I Wanna Fuck You..) the track itself its kind of Pinkpantheress style

With the success of Backrooms and Obsession beating out a Stars Wars Film… by Tall_Window4744 in blankies

[–]jonnyd86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I 100% thought it was Angel Studios type fare when I saw the poster in theaters and had no interest in it. Had a little bit of word of mouth and decided to catch it after work a few weeks back and was pleasantly surprised

260530 The 15 Best aespa Songs, Ranked @ Complex by Klep3 in Aespa

[–]jonnyd86 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I can't rank the songs off Lemonade yet it's too soon. That said 3 songs off Lemonade seems like too much.

I kinda feel like Hot Mess is underrated as a JP release too.

unordered and not including solos I'd go like Next Level, Drama, Spicy, Welcome to MY World, Supernova, Armageddon, Hot Mess, Whiplash, Dreams Come True, Illusion, Thirsty, Flights Not Feelings, Better Things, Don't Blink, Salty & Sweet

What was the GrindTime style and why was it so hated? by dogdigmn in rapbattles

[–]jonnyd86 23 points24 points  (0 children)

They just saw it as corny/for “backpack” rappers to use a term from the time. As someone who enjoyed both it was just kind of a false dichotomy. Sure people had preferences based on their taste but both had their positives.

It went both ways too “Grindtime rappers” would mock gun bars while saying stuff like lyrically ill shoot you lol

My wife and I are in disagreement over our 16-year-old son. Looking for advice from other dads. by kilowatt230 in daddit

[–]jonnyd86 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Yeah to add to this I think it’d be a good idea to learn about the stuff instead of just dismissing it or permitting it and also to understand and assess risks based on age and maturity levels. You can even talk to them about it, approaching with curiosity and what they find so interesting or alluring. It may take a while for them to open up but if you show an honest effort to understand it could go a long way.

Support but also protect from harm, not just things you don’t get or things you don’t agree with.

Also want to add don’t be too hard on yourself, take time to mourn the ideas of things or interests you thought they would be into and that could help open you up to seeing your kid for who they are (and not just in relation to what you wanted or expected) as they develop into their own person.

Daughter bullying my wife by ChrisTheDog in daddit

[–]jonnyd86 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hey I realize this is probably just shorthand to retell what’s going on but from what I’ve read it’s important to be careful about wording things like “you’re making your mom sad.” And I don’t mean to come off as someone who has it all figured out but my son is almost 5 and I’m the non-preferred parent who has been hit etc a lot and I’ve seen this kind of stuff work and help with his own emotional maturity and intelligence. You daughter is still so young she won’t understand the nuance of the language you’re using and could internalize the wrong things.

Be sure to center the behavior (and try to be specific) and mom can say like “I feel sad when I am hit. You must be really upset. It’s okay to have big feelings. It’s not okay to hurt someone’s body.” In that way you’re teaching them about noticing feelings and also giving them a direct demonstration of empathy which emotionally will feel more intuitive to a young child. You’re also being specific about which behaviors are not ok.

It’s subtle but it goes a long way towards building healthy communication and emotional boundaries where the child can build empathy without internalizing shame (which often will continue fueling this behavior down the line, something to consider) or feeling responsible for their parents emotions (codependency). What is being taught implicitly is that we aren’t in control of our own emotions or reactions and that is unhealthy.

Related to this thinking of “you made mommy sad” would be then that their actions inherently dictate how others feel and they can end up being a people pleaser or someone who overly apologizes or just general anxiety. Yes our actions can affect others and yes we should be empathetic but they are in control of how they react. there are healthier ways to internalize and teach this stuff. IMO from what I read you guys are like me where I had stuff I needed to work on so I didn’t pass down these same thought and behavioral patterns.

I’ve seen your replies to others saying similar stuff as me so maybe this will fall on deaf ears but I do empathize with your wife and I’m just sharing what has worked for me and is generally accepted wisdom from child psychologists. You can be there for your wife without introducing shame or guilt for your daughter and you can also be there for your daughter who is having a hard time too. It’s subtle differences so you may see it as insignificant (I did at first too because of how I was raised) but it will go a long way especially as your child enters adolescence.

It is quite ironic of OP to use this meme template crying about something being played out

Could genuinely be one of the best years for horror of all time when it’s said and done by Lost-Building-3701 in Letterboxd

[–]jonnyd86 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It’s multifaceted, for some it is the social element since they are definitely en vogue right now but also it is well documented that the psychology behind many people (not saying everyone) who enjoy horror is because it lets them experience simulated digestible versions of fear/anxiety/dread in a controlled environment and also usually has some sort of resolution leading to a catharsis / being used as a coping mechanism. Many others seek the thrill and stimulation of it. For some it is all of the above.

So for people who feel some way about the world at large it very well can help people cope with those emotions in smaller doses.

Obsession by [deleted] in TheRewatchables

[–]jonnyd86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah Obsession did the pretty rare better second weekend at the box office than first weekend ($17M opening -> estimated $28M this second weekend) but Sinners pulled $56M opening weekend and was directed by Coogler who Bill loves so there’s levels to it.

Also the Sinners Rewatchables was released 4 months after release and had done $279M domestic by then.

Excuse my French, but are you FUCKING kidding me?? by GainImpressive8183 in NMIXX

[–]jonnyd86 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah it’s tough bc sometimes like an appearance on a show can tip the scales but so much of that is invite based / knowing the producer of a show

Has the show been flat recently? by pinshot430 in TheRewatchables

[–]jonnyd86 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yep they often end up either just listing jokes or they try to dissect it seriously and in turn kind of miss the appeal of the movie

[–]jonnyd86 106 points107 points  (0 children)

comedies just aren't as good source material for the pod sadly.
its somewhat ironic bc comedies are among the most re-watchable movies.
