Homie how tf are you sailing with no boat?

[–] [email protected] 100 points 3 days ago

That’s the power of your imagination!

You wouldn’t download a boat

Not a sailboat, but still a downloaded boat. https://www.drdflo.com/pages/Projects/Printcess.html

sail on home to the never say die flavor of simple Rick.

A friend with a boat is what you want. Same with a pool.

[–] Peppycito 29 points 3 days ago

The best boat there is is one you don't own!

First they tell me I can go sailing, now you say I can make friends... What other pie in the sky fantasies are you selling!?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Never sailed in a pool before, brb.

[–] ryathal 13 points 2 days ago

You get really good at tight turns.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 days ago (1 children)

It’s always good to have friends with things you want to use but don’t want to own. Another thing that falls into that category: puppies and kittens.

Hey, cheap nephlings and cousins once-removed! 👋 wanna run around and wrestle and part ways at the end of the night?!

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 days ago

you join a club and are crew. it's literally how most sailing clubs function. How the hell are you supposed to race a boat if only the owner gets to be on it? The larger the boat the more the crew you need. The fees at my club for crew are $40 a year. That's like 1/3 the cost of netflix and way more worth it. And many clubs also have a "why buy?" club where you can captain one of the fleet boats a certain number of times a year and bring your own crew.

Show up to race night with beers and sailing gloves. And the aforementioned knowledge of sailing.

Show up to race night with beers and sailing gloves

And prepare to get wet! ^.^

The same way you live in a place that you don't own.

OK, but you don't see me starting an "apartment renting school"

[–] ZombiFrancis 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

If renting an apartment carried with it a similar significant risk of drowning, there might be a demand.

I would like to introduce you to Florida

They said you don't need a boat.

[–] Peppycito 20 points 3 days ago

You don't need to own a boat. Apologies.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 3 days ago

You don’t need a boat, but sailing is much easier with a boat.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 days ago (1 children)

you can stick a tiny american flag in your lil belly button and float on by.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

Even ten years ago I was like what the heck is an American flag doing on this boat?? The American empire is like one of my least fave so can we at least use the less horrifying state flag?

That's what gaming pcs with vr are for
