I am seeing them tonight - can't see any information anywhere if there is an opening act or not.

Anyone have insight?

I want to start by saying, I hate flying, but I do it all the time for work or vacation. Probably flown over 500 times in the last 15ish years, usually its fine. There have only been maybe 2 or 3 flights where I was really white knuckle / having a horrible time and freaked out.

But I truly cannot understand my fear of the turbulence. Once the plane is headed for what looks like storm clouds, or I feel the premonition of turbulence coming, or they get on the loudspeaker and say there could be some bumps ahead, I start to lose all rationality and begin to panic. This basically does not happen in any other aspects of my life, but during airplane turbulence my brain just shuts off and I am totally irrational and gripped by fear.

I will also say - I know with 100% certainty intellectually that turbulence is not actually dangerous to the aircraft and we will not crash because of it. It is not a fear of death, or crashing, or something like that. It really seems to be something else but my lizard brain takes over and I truly can't reason properly until it ends.

But like I said, I don't let this fear stop me from flying, its too important to my job and I love to travel, and my father stopped flying in his 30s and never flew again because of a similar fear - I dont want to be like that, but I do worry sometimes if I am ever on a truly terrible flight I might not recover.

Anyway - does anyone else feel like this? Any thoughts or reactions would mean a lot. Thanks!!

If you haven't seen it, then it is really worth a watch. I loved the dynamics of the family and navigating the uncertainty of being a parent, making life decisions, and coping with trauma. I feel like this movie was really ahead of its time and is not talked about enough anymore.

​

​It balances comedy and heavy themes perfectly, proving that no one has an absolute instruction manual for raising children - and that goes for parents that are trying so hard not to not make the mistakes their own parents did (Gil), the obsessive cognitive development parent (Nathan), and especially the relationship between Helen, Julie, Todd and Garry.

Fantastic movie!

I got into this band much later than most people here I am guessing (2013), so the only albums that were ever "new" for me were Come Tomorrow and Walk Around the Moon.

So what was it like when BTCS dropped in stores? I know UTTAD and Crash, many of those songs had been in rotation for years, and I know this was true of some BTCS songs too (Halloween), but it must have been amazing to get this record when it was brand new.

So tell me your experiences with this album dropping!

Alright so yesterday I made a post (https://www.reddit.com/r/poppunkers/s/8fckHS4ZeK) with my trinity of post 2010 pop punk bands.

There was disagreement that Hot Mulligan belonged in the same era as TSSF and The Wonder Years, so I decided to do a holy trinity for each era of pop punk, as delineated by me. I chose to start with the 1994 emergence, but if you want to make a trinity with older stuff, by all means.

Mid 1990s - Green Day, The Offspring, MxPx

Turn of the Millennium - blink 182, Sum 41, New Found Glory

2000s - Fall Out Boy, My Chemical Romance, Paramore

2010s - The Story So Far, The Wonder Years, State Champs

2020s - Hot Mulligan, saturdays at your place, Arm's Length

But CMV, what are your trinities?

I am an older millennial pop punk / emo fan, and have been into this genre since the late 90s, and for me these are the 3 bands that delivered the highest quality and consistently great music since 2010 - which for me all counts as "new" pop punk, new of course being a relative term to my old ass.

Disagree? Then change my view, let's hear it! What is your holy trinity of post 2010 pop punk?
