    First step, learn the name of the historical location + event you want to pretend you know about. Second, use internet search to look up where Tank Man was Tankmanning. Your browser should automatically search the web if you type appropriate keywords in the navigation bar. You can also use this to learn how things are spelled.

    Are you referring to the like twenty minute video where a guy stands in front of a tank and even jumps on top of it before two other protestors come by and he walks off with them willingly? Not even the US embassy in China claimed there was a “massacre”. Was the embassy full of tankies?

  • Keepass and Bitwarden respectively. Keepass has a lot of fringe advantages but most important to me is automation and offline consistency. Bitwarden will let you stay logged in offline depending on the options but it’s a bit different and they offer some kind of premium service. They both have good Android apps and Firefox addons
