Semicolons cost nothing.
Isn’t this acceptable though due to the subject of both “clauses” being the same (“tourist” both climbs and breaks)?
“and” doesn’t cost anything either
It costs horizontal space, and my understanding is that newspaper headlines tend to minimize words as much as possible (while maintaining meaning).
I’m almost certain this would not be a correct usage of a semicolon, semicolons require both parts of the sentence to be compete.
Was it a Brit?
Irishman.
I thought it’d be a fellow American by the title.
I knew it wasn’t an American, because it didn’t “American” in the title. Plus, I feel like Americans have caught so much shit about being idiots abroad that we’ve learned to chill. That American exceptionalism isn’t so exceptional anymore.
Americans are too fat to climb anything.
Honestly, americans are fine tourists as far as i can tell. I witnessed some very old racist motherfuckers, but like the 20 to 40 year olds were always a delightwe’ve learned to chill
Honestly I think we’re just too xenophobic and broke. If we were becoming better people overall I would expect to see a decrease in shitty behavior over here as well, or at least a levelling off.
Very true. Larger countries just happen to have more idiots. Plenty of Russian and Chinese tourists caught doing dumb stuff too. Not too many from India for some reason, at least not that I can recall.
This shit is even funnier if you take into account the fact that they’ve been renovating the place for like 5 years or something and only finished a month or two ago
Bruh why a statue. You have all those buildings around you.
Why blur face?
Because Belgium being a modern democracy (despite having a king) it most likely has laws regarding data privacy and law regarding defamation.
Considering it’s a member of the EU, yes.
well not all eu countries are equal…
Cunt was so ugly they didn’t want to subject readers to his mug.
Hope it was worth the 17k€ fine they try to charge him now.
Honest mistake.
“Sorry officer. I didn’t realize you couldn’t destroy public property “
I don’t care what anyone says, if I see a naked statue I’m getting on top of it! They can’t stop me!
Is that you, Ezio Auditore?
Some people really don’t get it without the /s
The thing about jokes and user interfaces is that if the audience doesn’t understand them that’s not the audience’s problem
Fair. I must admit it can be pretty hard to discern sarcasm online.
