The timing of the boat’s arrival in Seattle and the job cuts was coincidental, but the irony was not lost among the people who hustled down to the locks to see the giant yacht after word spread through the neighborhood and online. Some booed from the shore and heckled the crew.

Bumpers on the side of the boat were about the size of small SUVs, while the back deck had a covered pool and hot tub. More than a dozen crew members were visible, many enjoying the trip through the channel on a partly sunny evening.

That is 100% close enough to land a molotov

They should have been raining down from both sides of the canal.

Except Americans are fucking cowards to the last individual

[-] BreakerSwitch@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

I don't strictly disagree, but it's harder for Americans to properly protest when they may be killed or jailed for a peaceful protest vs, say, France, where farmers literally coated government buildings with shit and their non-militarized police just went "well of course, that's their right!" Meanwhile, when German press went to the US to cover the George Floyd protests, police shot at them, even though they were well identified, cooperative members of the press.

It’s not like Americans have been dining out on a national identity of “personal sacrifice to fight tyranny against great odds” for a couple centuries or anything, right?

If they’d spent the last 50 years of obnoxious flag-waving about “let’s all not make waves and chill out so that we can continue to keep our shitty jobs and maintain our relative comfort,” then I’d give them a pass.

But no- putting down authoritarians and fascists is exactly the thing Americans have spent the last 70 years belligerently insisting they’re especially good at. If they don’t have this, they have fucking nothing and they deserve whatever MAGA gives them.

I saw this when I was on vacation in Mo'orea a couple of years back. It's truly egregious. There's a helipad, jet skis, a floating bouncy house, and more. As ridiculous as that is, his super yacht has a buddy yacht that has a full medical staff on board and travels with it. It looks like a military radar ship with all of the dishes and shit on it.

Eat the rich.

If I was a talented writer I would consider a short story about someone getting onto the medical staff just to murder Zuckerberg.

Maybe some sort of rom-com where two people have done so and they suspect each other of being corporate bootlickers, but in the end they fall in love. And murder Zuckerberg.

[-] SharkWeek 10 points 1 week ago

Oh the romantic payoff would be fantastic :-)

[-] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 week ago

I still can't wrap my head around why he has 2 helipads. They don't have that for most hospitals.

[-] BassTurd@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

One for his helicopter and another for his built in bionic flight system. He's rich enough that he can have separate helipads for each.

If I had to work for Zuck I'd be fucking thrilled to be on the buddy yacht instead of the main ship.

[-] Murse@slrpnk.net 73 points 1 week ago

Remember that time when Ukraine used a remote control mini boat loaded with explosives to sink a war ship that was basically the jewel of Russia's navy?

Anyway, just reminiscing. Gonna read the article now.

[-] crimson_iris@piefed.social 6 points 1 week ago

Not sure if you mean the Moskva, that one was taken out by anti-ship missiles. But let's do both, just to be sure?

[-] k0e3@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 week ago

Didn't the boat take out a bridge?

[-] scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech 71 points 1 week ago

While I'm all against polluting, that would make a fine artificial reef at the bottom of the lake.

[-] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 40 points 1 week ago

Complete with zuckerberg skeliton.

[-] JackFrostNCola@aussie.zone 29 points 1 week ago

Sorry but why are these things even called yachts still? Mega yacht, super yacht, whatever you call it they are basically billionaire holiday ships.
They are basically the billionaires version of an emotional support vehicle (aka. american sized pickup trucks), and should have a name that reflects that, not take the name of a small self skippered boat thats used for adventure and exploration under the skippers own sweat and skill rigging the sails, steering, etc.

[-] starlinguk@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Yeah. It's a motorboat. My great uncle was rich and had a ridiculously big motorboat, but he never called it a yacht. He loved sailing. He had two actual yachts for that.

[-] mrgoosmoos@lemmy.ca 10 points 1 week ago

motorboat is not the term you guys are looking for. a motorboat is a step above a dinghy

[-] starlinguk@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

It's a boat. With a motor.

Although we do mockingly refer to ugly boats like that as clothes irons.

[-] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 23 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I'm surprised there aren't more protesters. When the Mercers were on Lake Union, there were a lot of them. I'm sure it's just his crew because it's parked over on Lake Union at the usual yacht space. They sold *Boeing's and it has taken that spot.

FYI, it's twice as big as *Boeing's yacht.

[-] mbp@slrpnk.net 2 points 1 week ago

Seattle does live to gather for a protest

[-] SnarkoPolo@lemmy.world 13 points 1 week ago

You'd better thank America's Job Creators for the gig economy, Peasants!

[-] DragonAce@lemmy.world 13 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Wouldn't it be funny if someone snuck onboard and sabotaged that fucker somehow?

Did The Zuck pop for the super deluxe Molotov Cocktail countermeasure system? Asking for a friend.

Anyone have the number of the Orca maybe a Orca signal. We really need them.

[-] cyberpunk007@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 week ago
