It's quite literally the law of the sea

Anyone skippering his vessels knows what they're signing up for, and should be hung out to dry for this shit

[–] Flower@sh.itjust.works 7 points 53 minutes ago

Billionaires and following law don't mix.

[–] mobyduck648@lemmy.world 20 points 1 hour ago

Yeah it was literally drilled into me as a child that you aid a vessel in distress until the point you would be in distress yourself, provided you are in position to do so. It's the law certainly, but without highly extenuating circumstances there's also the matter of serious personal disgrace in my view.

should be hung ~~out to dry for this shit~~

[–] theyllneverfindmehere@lemmy.world 16 points 1 hour ago (3 children)

Sorry to be that guy, I know what you're trying to say but I think you mean hanged, not hung. I'd rather be hung than hanged and I assume most people would.

No you're not🤣. You live for the dopamine when you correct them. Own it.

[–] PennyRoyal@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 hour ago

Nono, they’re wishing exceptionally large genitalia ion the captain. I’m pretty sure they know exactly what they said

[–] P1nkman@lemmy.world 2 points 57 minutes ago

OMFG!!!!! HOW did I not notice that? God damn 🤣🤣

[–] DupaCycki@lemmy.world 4 points 39 minutes ago (1 children)

Bro would literally ignore a child dying next to him, even if all it took to save it was a pat on the back.

Unless there were cameras, of course. In that case - phenomenal opportunity for good PR.

[–] eleijeep@piefed.social 1 points 5 minutes ago

And the latter only if his PR person was there to tell him what a normal human would do.

[–] Origen@lemmy.world 21 points 1 hour ago

He was probably having an Epstein cruise and didn't want to risk anyone finding out.

[–] llii@discuss.tchncs.de 62 points 2 hours ago

Because Billionaires aren't known for giving back. They only take.

[–] dabu@lemmy.world 16 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

He's either a dickhead or didn't want stranded to see what was happening on his yacht. Most probably both

[–] OwOarchist@pawb.social 8 points 1 hour ago

or didn’t want stranded to see what was happening on his yacht

Gee, sure are a lot of underage girls in bikinis on this yacht...

[–] ExLisper@lemmy.curiana.net 5 points 45 minutes ago

Yes, answering some questions is the punishment he deserves here. Hurray for justice!

[–] robomuffin79@lemmy.world 6 points 1 hour ago

Because they were NPCs

[–] lokalhorst@feddit.org 9 points 1 hour ago

I guess he was disgusted by common people. There was a "Do not disturb" sign on the yacht.

[–] 0x0@lemmy.zip 11 points 1 hour ago

Helpings the plebes? Puh-lease...
Guy's lucky he wasn't shot at.

[–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.zip 7 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

Brcause he can't feel for others. Also thinks he's too important.

[–] Miller@lemmy.world 5 points 1 hour ago

Because its ordinary people, what would he talk about.
