Was it a Brit?
- Irishman.
  
  I thought it'd be a fellow American by the title.
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
- I'm almost certain this would not be a correct usage of a semicolon, semicolons require both parts of the sentence to be compete.
Bruh why a statue. You have all those buildings around you.
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
Hope it was worth the 17k€ fine they try to charge him now.
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.
- Cunt was so ugly they didn't want to subject readers to his mug.
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!
- 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
