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.

Make a lemmy instance for somalian pirates

[-] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago

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.

The MIT Pirate Certificate is for entertainment purposes only and does not give the recipient license to engage in piracy or any pirate activities.

Guess I'm not going to MIT, then.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 5 months ago

Well of course they can't offer a real certificate for piracy. It would actually be for privateering.

[-] Gooey0210 1 points 5 months ago

Because you need a privateering license, i've heard Russia gives away some

[-] Gooey0210 1 points 5 months ago

~~does not~~ give the recipient license to engage in piracy or any pirate activities.

I repacked it, enjoy guys, arr
