Just like hackers need an black hoodie. And where can I get one? Is a simple costume one enough or do I need an expensive one?

Sry I'm new here.

No, but at leat say "yo ho" when you download something. Also VPN.

Yarr is the preferred vernacular to us older pirates.

You wouldn't download a hat.

You need a boat. How do you sail the high seas without a boat.

I don't know where to get the boat tho.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Don't you DARE call my mighty vessel a boat. It's a ship, A SHIP!! You feebleminded SIMPLETON!

If I learned anything from Luffy it's that you can call any ship a boat 😁

Stan S.Stanman sells some used ones for great prices.

This is a common misconception. A ski mask is both effective and very adaptable. The pirate hat is antiquated, bulky, and has a much more restrictive use case. If you're in a pinch you can just use a face mask. It also has the advantage of preventing malware, but any experienced user would take the ski mask over an N95 for flexibility.

Newspaper can be folded into a hat in a pinch.

This was all covered in the on boarding process. We'll let it slide this time but next time have your hat on or you'll have to walk the plank 😄

Hat? Unnecessary. But an eye-patch helps reduce nausea when using VR goggles to search for booty.

Follow the pirate code and share the spoils, i.e. be seeding.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

Those rules be more of a guideline though.

Think about renting a parrot. That's what I did for a while before getting my sea legs

[–] [email protected] 12 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Imagine the vocabulary of a rented parrot.

A bandana is fine if you have one.

An eye patch will suffice. If you really want to show your dedication, a wooden peg leg would be ideal. I should note that it is a bit difficult to conceal a peg leg in public.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 11 months ago

An eye patch, a parrot or a wooden leg will also do

Nah, as long as you buy it dinner first, or at least try to connect on an emotional level, it'll let you enter.

I've got a big pirate flag hanging up in my room, is that good enough?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago

Most important: A mindful for seeding the downloads.

What you reallly need is a tattoo of a small plant in a box to represent that you have a seedbox.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

Not per se, but it is ideal

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

You have to pirate it first.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

I find this stereotype offensive.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

It comes with.
