    I have to wonder if people being jerks under anonymity is not because of the anonymity itself, but because of the lack of consequences.

    The people messing around aren’t anonymous, but it’s not like anyone can do anything to them from that far away

    If this were reddit, someone might have posted source of this daring lady.

    Isn’t the purpose of the art piece to demonstrate the human condition across an ocean? Flashing/mooning/offensive memes, that is what humans do. This should stay up and more should be put in place. How much more culturally connected would cities in the US be linked to other UK or EU cities?

        Depends if they’re just flopping it flaccidly from side to side or angrily masturbating. Same goes for if a woman were to start rubbing one off. Nudity isn’t sexual, but what you do with it could be.

          Look, you might be technically correct but I’m sure you’re old enough to understand the difference between a guy’s chest a pair of boobs so I’m just gonna leave it here.

            But, everyone loves boobs. Not everyone loves dick. Flashing a dick is often interpreted as aggressive. Tits, not so much. Everyone has put boobs in their mouth and liked it at one point during their lives. A good chunk of people have never sucked a dick (or want to).

            We all love boobs. They kept most of us alive when we were little and they’re fun as fuck when we’re older. Most people are behind the “free the nipple” thing. Why you trying to see less boobs? The world is already such a dark place without less boobs.

            More boobs, I say. Boobs everywhere. Boobs for everyone. Boobs could bring the world together. And then, we could finally heal.

              You are either a troll or very ignorant. Not everyone loves boobs, the same way as everyone has shit themselves countless times as a baby and liked it(You can literally see the joy on a baby’s face right after they relieve themselves), but that does not mean that it is an enjoyable thing for every grownup out there.

              Yes, everyone loves boobs but not every loves seeing them in public without any warning. First of all, there could be children present in this setting, and second, sex addiction is a thing and flashing boobs to someone struggling with it is kinda like forcing a recovering alcholic to take a shot.

        Def not a bad idea, the more cities around the world the better. I also like the idea of sister cities, if they were to stick to a single portal to portal connection. I’m in Minneapolis, maybe match it with a similarly sized city across the pond. Could root for each others sports teams, offer support in trying times, develop a digital bond.

          Yeah a lot of towns in Europe are ‘twinned’ with another European town - i always assume its just an excuse for the councilor to get free holidays when making the agreement but your idea makes it sound really interesting, a portal could be really cool.

            The biggest problem in Europe in the past was the constant war between the nations, Germany and France in particular. How do You reduce the willingness to go fight each other. You create connections.

            Economic connections in the form of the coal and steel alliance, which evolved to become the EU.

            Personal connections by connecting the people between the countries with multinational friendship. Twin cities are one tool creating the friendship. By having regular exchanges between students and adults. You don’t want to go to war with a friend you visited every summer. That’s also the reason for the Erasmus program, where you can have an exchange semester at university.

            All of those were implemented since the WW2 and they seem to work. There hasn’t ever been a period of such a long peace in central Europe.

            City “twinning” goes beyond the EU. And it can happen for all kinds of reasons. My favourite example is the towns of Dull, Scotland, Boring, Oregon and Bland, New South Wales.

                Because Catholicism.

                Catholics believe that any sexual activity that doesn’t have a chance of making a baby is sinful. Gays obviously can’t make babies as a normal part of their love making, so that’s where the whole ‘being gay is sinful’ bit comes from

                Because they find gay sex unappealing, seems to be the main reason. If you point out that that is simply because they’re not gay, they are unable to understand the point.

      Might read past the headline.

      Another “very drunk” woman was filmed rubbing her behind against the screen, while a different video shows a man

      One person on the Irish side went as far as to show the New Yorkers images of 9/11 on his phone

      Probably wasn’t the only time. People generally being people is probably why they shut it down.

                …Irish car bombs have Bailey’s Irish Cream and possibly coffee liqueur in them. Many people would say that’s a pretty sweet drink.

                You sure you’re not thinking of an Irish Boilermaker? That’s just a beer with Irish whiskey.

                  I think this is a regional thing, as you just made me doubt myself.

                  I’ve ordered car bombs here in the Midwest and it’s always been whiskey and a stout. I don’t know if I’d call anything with just coffee liqueur in it a “car bomb” that’s not a very strong drink.

                  A quick Wikipedia check says it can be either Irish cream or whiskey, and that the names are somewhat interchangeable.

                  Wow, you’re pleasant.

                  See, where I’m from, a carbomb is a cocktail made from beer and hard liquor. We’ve got Chicago carbombs/handshakes which is Malort and Old Style. I’ve even had a Mexican carbomb with tequila and Modelo.

                  Coffee liqueur and beer isn’t really a thing where I’m from, in the heart of corn country. So you’re the one drinking milk shakes at the bar as far as I’m concerned.

                  Maybe instead of being a dick to people because of where they happen to live, you could try to learn about cultural and regional differences.

            That doesn’t really seem very equivalent. The closest equivalence I can think of is either the terrorism of the founding fathers, which is too far back to really strike the same chord, or maybe like, american drone strikes or something. Or, maybe if I was feeling particularly cheeky, I might compare it to the violence enacted by the civil rights movement, since that was also a domestic american liberation movement maybe comparable to the IRA, but, I dunno. not really any american style equivalence there.
