Silly question: is there a community for real, sailing piracy?
Not sure how many Somalis use Lemmy and how good their 5G is on the water
Their spell check sucks too. "I'm the capstan now!"
You're a winch, wench!
Probably better than at&t in the middle of the city.
sad but true
Make a lemmy instance for somalian pirates
You could pick them up from Twitter if you weren't a bunch of reddit brained tweaking crackers
There was that hot Somali who was Tik Tokking himself while boarding a cargo ship.
But he was enforcing a blockade enacted by his government within Yemeni territorial waters so unfortunately it wasn’t piracy.
I don’t think the worlds remaining sea pirates are very technical, or smart at all for that matter.
If Piracy wasn't a legit, high technician career, why would MIT offer a Pirate Certificate?
"Students who have completed Archery, Fencing, Pistol (Air Pistol or Rifle) and Sailing should send an email to..."
When a university education becomes a fantasy story meme. At least if you're attending MIT, you're probably multiclassed into some kind of technomancer.
I mean, it's just a piece of paper for competing an otherwise random set of extracurricular activities. MIT students do memes all the time. Well, they use to. I think the administration is trying to crack down on fun stuff.
Guess I'm not going to MIT, then.
Well of course they can't offer a real certificate for piracy. It would actually be for privateering.
Because you need a privateering license, i've heard Russia gives away some
~~does not~~ give the recipient license to engage in piracy or any pirate activities.
I repacked it, enjoy guys, arr
Good enough for me.
"A lot of technical terms there. We're naught but humble pirates!"
I imagine there are fan groups for Our Flag Means Death.
Got cancelled though, so don’t expect much growth
