Someone posted about losing a cat. I saw a cat outside. I looked for that post to compare. The app remembered.

I almost have enough pack points to buy one, but I'd prefer to trade. I can offer the following cards.

Amid the harsh realities of South African apartheid, two boys β€” Themba and Joel β€” form a dangerous friendship. As hate and fear threaten to pull them apart, their bond faces its greatest challenge in the form of a life-saving gesture. Through their eyes, we glimpse a moment of innocence β€” where hope, empathy, and understanding still feel possible.

In my defence, I only remembered the melody and I didn't know the name of the song until I heard it again today.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enola_Gay_(song)

The lyric to the song reflects on the decision to use the bomb and asks the listener to consider whether the bombings were necessary ("It shouldn't ever have to end this way").[15] The phrase "Is mother proud of Little Boy today?", is an allusion to both the nickname of the uranium bomb and pilot Paul Tibbets naming the aircraft after his mother. The phrase, "It's 8:15, and that's the time that it's always been", refers to the time of detonation over Hiroshima at 8:15 am JST; as many timepieces were "frozen" by the effects of the blast, it becomes "the time that it's always been". It is identified as an "anti-war" track,[b] although McCluskey stated he "wasn't really politically motivated to write the song", which was informed by a fascination with World War II bombers. He hoped it "conveyed an ambivalence about whether it was the right or the wrong thing to do".

"Enola Gay" is popular with early home computer enthusiasts, being used in demos such as Swinth (Commodore 64).[73] Hackers have also enjoyed the song; it can be found as the "music bed" for numerous mega-demos and "cracktro" found on releases by warez groups like the Beastie Boys.[74] The song was featured in the 2015 film Ex Machina, a sci-fi thriller about the implications of artificial intelligence.

Some of the examples in the Wikipedia page don't make sense to me.

Journey was the one that prompted this question πŸ˜†

Neal Schon has been around through their history no?

While watching this scene, I was thinking about if the choking was really necessary or if they could have gotten the emotional turmoil / betrayal across some other way. It didn't fit that well with how they had interacted with each other up until that point

But later on in the episode, it looks like she again feels choked, but this time by the collar of her uniform. So if the intent was to set up that symbolism, I guess there is a reason for the scene in the post

Listening to the real soundtrack now, I'm so disappointed that my first watch was with... that version

The line is quippy, but it's silly when you look at the batman stories. Anything can be funny if you get reductionist with it

When the writers have her saving plants, they do it in a way that you root for her. Same with Mr. Freeze, those episodes and the movie is really touching, solely because of his motivation.

You don't root for batman to beat them up or flex his wealth on them, you want Batman to help them. You want them both to get happy endings.

The stories usually end with batman stopping the carnage, while also arresting whatever CEO was cutting down trees or doing experiments on Nora. In other stories, he funds social programs and advocates for reforms as Bruce Wayne.

Maybe there are other stories where he acts like a frat boy. I skip content that has shitty writing

Sometimes I have the opposite problem, where the audience is more disruptive than anything. I haven't been in a while, but I'm thinking back to the random cheering and clapping that pulls you out of the movie.

I also find that a lot of theatres are too loud now, but maybe my ears are getting old
