i find it funny people are more upset over the tits than they are the guy that was flashing 9/11 imagery.

Id assume that's a liability thing? I'm not too sure as I believe it's legal to be topless in NYC, although probably not Dublin, but it's almost definitely not a crime to show 9/11 imagery.

Its… not a question of legality and more of tact.

It’s not a funny/comical or even casual thing to show.

It was pretty funny. Would have been better if the new yorkers responded with the potato famine.

You are allowed to be to be topless in New York state, but it's illegal in Dublin.

$10 says their "solution" involves some combination of wildly expensive tech that doesn't work, inappropriate use of AI, and raging privacy violations.

and later it will turn out that the AI solution was actually two clickworkers in a trenchcoat

Displaying images of 9/11 to new yorkers is pretty savage.

God forbid the public see a nipple.

I can't believe people acted like people and did what people are known and expected to do

-- city and company execs, probably

apparently, there was an incident with a boob, which is legal in NYC, but not Dublin

[–] HobbitFoot@thelemmy.club 8 points 6 months ago (1 children)

And I find it hilarious that this was the thing that closed the portal down.

Yeah, but it seems like it was the straw that broke the camel's back.

Who could have foreseen any of this..

The toilet licker, ruining it for everyone yet again.

Why not share a source that doesn't fund fascism?

[–] Flax_vert@feddit.uk 10 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I saw a clip online of someone in Dublin showing a picture of 9/11 and people in NYC laughing

[–] Thcdenton@lemmy.world 7 points 6 months ago

I fucking spit out my drink laughing when I saw that. 🤌

The two articles you posted appear next to each other in my feed and because of the thumbnails, at first glance it looks like they are from each side of the portal.

Behold! The female nipple - the most dangerous topology of she skin - immorality and depravity follow anywhere these brazen bings are witnessed - avert your eyes and pray to be delivered from their trespasses
