Yes, they were leaving, this was after they had cleared the square, but I can’t find anything that indicates “tank man” was trying to get them to stay. He wasn’t blocking the from entering (people do get this wrong) but was chastising them for what they had done. At least, that’s my understanding,

> Bro who help up the tanks, for example, was trying to convince them to stay and oppress the student movement.

Source?

Wikipedia article says nobody has a clue who he is/was: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tank_Man

Chinese state TV treated him like a protester, and spun it as an example of what nice guys the Chinese Army is:

  CHINA TELEVISION ANNOUNCER: [subtitles] Anyone with common sense can see that if our tanks were determined to move on, this lone scoundrel could never have stopped them. This scene flies in the face of Western propaganda. It proves that our soldiers exercised the highest degree of restraint.  https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/tankman/etc/transcript.html

It takes a brave businessman to speak out about how government regulations are killing their business. Thank you for your service.

Interesting that Ukrainian soldiers need this motivation.

It’s not about motivation, it’s about flexibility and transparency in procurement, and additional stimulus to be more data-driven on each side, from operator to officer to government officials.

This is like saying long exposures don't count because they're composite images

I disagree.

All photos have an exposure time; that's an inherent property of them (think film). Compositing images digitally on top one another is not an inherent property of photos.

You can double expose film, and I think that's a finer line, but I think the distinction most people care about is really analog vs digital.

That doesn't make any sense. Did you mean double exposures?

Isn't a long exposure one where you leave the aperture open for a long time, but it still constitutes as a single take?

Yes

Even multiple exposures of one frame of film is, as far as I can tell, still generally considered one photograph.

abs(ofuckinglutely) you do not.

People wonder why north america has gone to shit and this is it right here.

Looool this is such bullshit. All of these things are the exact opposite of what's been getting on the air.

If my heavily-armed neighbour were screaming racist obscenities at me all day every day I might consider stockpiling something myself

A dataset of one (1), eh? And epileptic to boot.

It always starts with 1 :)

Suuuuuuure they are
