Jojo Rabbit feels like two halves of two really good movies that just so happened to feature all the same characters. I really liked it but it was the weakest of his films so far.

Nazi satire is a delicate thing. Like the line between The Producers and The Day The Clown Cried is razor thin. I don't think Jojo lands on the side of the former for me, but in its defense I don't think any Non-Producers movie really does.

Foochs, my wife really liked the book Co-Dependent No More and it’s helped to progress the relationship between her and her hosed-up mom. https://www.amazon.com/Codependent-No-More-Controlling-Yourself/dp/0894864025/ref=nodl_ Once, my mother-in-law told a story of how she bought a lock for a neighbor’s yard and put it on their gate because their dog kept getting out. This is unfathomably rude and invasive to me but everyone at their family table just nodded and smiled so I kept my mouth shut. I was willing to go along with a lot of their co-dependent behaviors—lots of manipulation of especially my wife through guilt and money—and do all the little lies of convenience. When my wife’s drinking problem became apparent I said “gently caress all this”, told them about all the lying, told her parents I had thought they needed therapy since I met them, and that I wasn’t going to skirt around poo poo anymore because it was putting my wife’s life at risk. On a long enough timeline, Dishonesty=drinking=dead. Anyway co-dependence is scary and mean and can be a bummer gently caress of a time and if it sounds like what you’ve got, maybe that’s a good book to read. I don’t know your life and I wish you the best. Your situation sounds crappy and I am sorry. I know as a person who is aggressively NOT co-dependent, I would nonetheless get sucked into these weird responsibility games all the time just because I like fixing stuff and coming up with solutions (lol can you tell?), and understanding the nature of co-dependence was really helpful. Also HOLY gently caress in retrospect, it’s been a mistake to displace all the stress from massive uncertainties in my personal and professional life on the surefire gambit of at least knowing who the gently caress would win the Iowa caucus.

I’d just like to post that I’m glad I have supportive parents. I just landed in a bit of a pinch because all my most expensive items (phone, iPad which I use for music production; computer) started to break down simultaneously during a time I can’t afford to replace any of them because I’m at the university. Dad announced he’d help me out. Took me a while to make him accept the fact that I’ll pay all of it back as soon as I’m gainfully employed again (autumn). He tried to insist I shouldn’t. No dad you will take the money or I’ll kick your rear end

So...imposter syndrome (or something drat similar to it) is a right bitch and a half. Normally, I have no issues speaking in a conversation I’m in. If I’m familiar with the topic and know my audience, no issues. Just got out of a 20-minute mini-meeting/conversation my supervisor and I had with about a dozen child abuse casework supervisors about “why aren’t we getting old case files.” Note that I’m almost the lowest person on the hierarchy list just in my unit, but I’m getting pulled in because of my research and logical approach to this subject. I had numbers, and facts, and even conjectures about some things. But the whole time I’m in there, I have the sinking feeling that nothing I say will matter because I was the only person in a room of about 15 who was both under 40, and have had zero supervisory work experience under my belt. Does the whole “feeling over your head when you’re the only person in the room who isn’t a supervisor” feeling ever start to go away after a while? (Also, this is why I could never be good on the mic if I were a wrestler—too much of a nervous wreck, haha.)

In a statement on his website, representatives of Powell said: "It is with great sadness and regret that Don needs to inform his fans that he now is no longer a member of Dave Hill's Slade. "Dave has sent Don a cold email to inform him that his services are no longer required, after working together and being friends since 1963." However, in a twist, Powell has set up a band rivalling Dave Hill's Slade - called Don Powell's Slade. The statement added: "However, the great news is that Don is now fully fit to play drums again! He is coming back with his band who will be called Don Powell's Slade.

It's getting... not worse, but my frustrations are stewing more and more. As I believe I mentioned, we need to go see a lawyer to set up the financial safeguards. The ball is in my dad's court and he's refusing to act and I'm like God damnit every time they want me to do something it's "WE DON'T SEE THE MOTIVATION WE NEED TO TO BE CONFIDENT ABOUT WHEN WE'RE NOT HERE" and they were on my rear end for a long time about doing that, I find a specialist, and now they won't loving do anything about it. My partner thinks it's because subconsciously they don't want me to have more autonomy and won't admit it. They want to keep me codependent. I used to dispute that but it's kinda getting harder to.

For all intents and purposes your partner is probably right. What with having an outsider perspective.

What do you think happens to bands that get kind of popular amongst the trendy and in tune with music, maybe tour the world a bit, then don't really have another song or album as successful and fade away. Say they've been out of the regular job grind a few years touring/ being in a band, then suddenly it goes away. How do you get a regular job again no one would ever believe you if you told them you were in a mildly, briefly successful underground act. I wonder as someone who consumes a lot of music and sometimes just never hears from some bands again. Anyone here have experience in or around that?

Most of the guys I knew transitioned back into day jobs fairly well because they were college educated and came from well to do households. A few didn't do so well graduating from stunt partying to straight up death. A few keep on grinding, eventually getting ancillary gigs like studio work and whatnot. That's why more than one luthier is a pretty decent guitar player. Aside from stealing beers from the drummer of Matchbox 20 when they were Just a Local Bar Band, the only real success story is a good friend of mine. He still gets checks from his time playing in a post college gig(Secrets Between Sailors) that was smart enough to license the gently caress out of their music.
