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
Probably better than at&t in the middle of the city.
sad but true
Their spell check sucks too. "I'm the capstan now!"
You're a winch, wench!
Make a lemmy instance for somalian pirates
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.
You could pick them up from Twitter if you weren't a bunch of reddit brained tweaking crackers
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
