you're right, i think we're in agreement. the side with guns and tanks retaliated against the side with bricks and molotov cocktails by opening fire

I'm less concerned about the specifics of where it happened and how many people died, and more concerned about how military personnel shot live ammunition at citizens.

According to the Tiananmen Papers, a collection of internal Communist party files, soldiers started using live ammunition at around 10.30pm, after trying and failing to disperse the crowd with tear gas and rubber bullets.

my favorite part about these kinds of comments is that the article they commonly cite basically says there was no tiananmen massacre because the massacre happened outside of the square in the rest of beijing, and that's treated like it's some big gotcha

  2. Spongebob opening a trash can that's full of garbage labeled "unfinished games from 2023 in my steam library"
  3. Spongebob pointing to piled up trash in the corner that is labeled "unfinished games from 2022 in my steam library"
  4. Spongebob gesturing at the open fridge overflowing with garbage labeled "unfinished games from 2021 in my steam library"
  5. Spongebob yanking up a sheet to reveal that a sofa was made of trash labeled "unfinished games from 2020 in my steam library"
  6. Spongebob ripping down the wallpaper revealing that the walls are stuffed full of garbage labeled "unfinished games from 2019 in my steam library"
  7. Spongebob gesturing for Patrick to look at a spot from their window
  8. A gigantic mound of trash taller than the pineapple house is labeled "unfinished games from 2018 and earlier in my steam library"
 

Description: Three panels. The first panel is a picture of a sign on a window with Chinese that tells people to not to throw things out the window. There is a poor English translation on the sign that says "Do not shit in the air like a god." The second panel is D.W. from Arthur glaring at the sign. The third panel is D.W. saying "That sign won't stop me because I can't read!"

 

Description: A three panel comic often referred to as "No take, only throw." The first panel is a dog biting a toy with the caption "I want to be good at my hobbies." The second panel is the dog looking angry and refusing to let go of the toy when a hand reaches out to throw it for the dog again, and it has the caption "No practice." The third panel is the dog, still angry and refusing to let go of the toy, with the caption "Only good."

if i had a nickel for every time i read a series where the most powerful exorcist was killed and he reincarnated in another world where he was looked down upon for his low magical talent, but his exorcism powers made him the strongest anyways, i'd have two nickels, and that's fine with me

second one is alternatively titled "reincarnated as a son of an aristocrat"

 

Transcription: Two panels from the movie Interstellar. The first panel shows two astronauts on another planet, with one of them saying "1 hour here is 7 years on earth." The second panel is the other astronaut replying "Good. We will wait here for all the chapters to be released"
