    You know this kinda makes me think that it would’ve been funnier if they connected two cities that hate each other more than just like, dublin and new york, which I can’t really think of as ever having had beef. Maybe NYC and chicago, or something. You can’t really put something like this in texas or LA because nobody fuckin walks anywhere, unless maybe you put it in like long beach or like some random part of Austin or something. Seattle? Does Seattle have beef with anywhere? On the other side, could we connect Dublin with like, London or something? Maybe some city in northern Ireland?

      Something like outside Yankee Stadium and Fenway Park, and they’d probably be destroyed in minutes…

        That’d be fuckin awesome though, imagine the chaos you could just ambiently cause, especially if you made it out of like, bulletproof glass and concrete, and maybe included some self-cleaning mechanism, or set the camera back from the glass a ways, so people couldn’t obfuscate the camera or the image. Could be the move, could be the play.

      Seattle has beef with Portland. Hippie beef. Impossible beef.

        You’d just have the religious nutjobs get the thing shut down in the name of “saving the children.”

        I don’t know what the Baghdad citizen would do though.

        (In case this goes over people’s heads, I’m calling the Mississippians the religious nutjobs)

          I don’t think the average Chinese person is as rabidly nationalistic as Americans and Russians though.

          Give me Tehran and Jacksonville. Miami and Havana. Nashville and Pyongyang.

          Equally likely to be shot down by Russian soldiers for spreading “western lies”

      I fear, stones would quickly put an end to such portals.

      Miami and San Francisco would be excellent

      But make both of them out of bulletproof glass
