For once, no, actually. The CIA tried to overthrow him a few years earlier and failed. Pinochet's coup caught the CIA by surprise, as Pinochet had... very effectively given the impression of being 'nonpolitical' and loyal to the government, to the point where Allende himself was shocked to hear of his involvement.

There the CIA is falsely denying spending money to attempt to destabilize Allende's administration. They absolutely tried. But as I noted

The CIA tried to overthrow him a few years earlier and failed.

Can you tell the spoiler? I wont watch that anime, but it would be interesting to know the full background of the meme.

The other 2 characters on the top image are Pim and Charlie from Smiling Friends

Magical girl who's power is to go back in time. Keeps going back in time to try and save one of her friends but each time reversal results in them being less close as friends. In the main timeline of the show they've basically become strangers.

Being meguca is suffering.

Time travel sucks. No accurate time travel story ends happily, even if the resolution overall is good. Looper is a great example of a good one. I think Primer too, but I still have trouble with it, even with all the aids and charts. Oh, and 12 Monkeys, an easier one to follow.

who's power is to go back in time

Also stopping time. And hammerspace. Like, for storing whole aircraft carriers, if she felt like it. Also teleportation. Also creating projectiles out of thin air (but I think that goes for most magical girls in the series). Possibly also flight, or just jumping very high, but again that probably goes for all of them.

::: spoiler Minimal context Her ability as a magical girl is to travel back in time. So yeah, the meme itself is a spoiler. :::

There's only the one season, but the first two movies are remakes. The third movie is a sequel to either and there's a forth in production.

Yeah, Europeans trying to dunk on Americans for their date formatting is pretty funny when they're both absolute shit compared to ISO

Shittiness is relative, not absolute. The American system is shitty compared to the European one, and the latter is shitty compared to ISO.

What could you even do on 9/11? Get up early to watch it all happen again? Better come on 8/11

Homura..? She'd have more than time enough to do whatever she damn well pleased.

If you haven't read The House of the Spirits by Isabel Allende, put it on your list. Please and thank you.
