That’s how Pirate’s codes were written, a deck swabber gets one share of the loot, a cook gets two, officers get three, and the captain gets five.
And if the crew isn’t happy with the captain they could vote him out and elect a new one.

That’s a great way to see it, thanks for sharing.
That’s how I view different religions. Each one has one part of a big picture and a bunch of extra fluff. The trouble is that people tend to think that the extra fluff is just as important as the core message, and religions as a organizations encourage it.
The receptors for psychedelics aren’t there for no reason, heavy prayer and meditation can trigger similar effects. Substances are just a shortcut, that’s why religion don’t tend to like them. Personally I think that as long as it isn’t used as a crutch it’s totally fine to buy a day pass.
Socialism without an underlying set of morals beyond socialism is doomed to fail. It invites end-justifies-means to implement socialism, which taints it beyond repair.
The people liked Hitler. Shit was actually bad in Weimar Germany, Trump’s support is built on the sand of pure propaganda. That’s where my hope lies.

And if you’re desperate, the back of a shampoo bottle
I’m still using both, but I’m sure with the changes in administration I’ll be getting banned soon. I already got a warning for saying that self-declared kings are liable to self-declared regicide
Life has as much meaning as we give it, humans think life has inherent meaning, ergo life has meaning.
Let’s start thinking that cooperation has meaning, that the divine plan is for us to realize that everything around is what life should not be and that all of it is a choice we make every day
I’d like winter if it was a blanket of snow making everything pretty and white. But the last few years it’s just been gray and brown with a day of snow before it melts.
Never has been.
There is meaning in the endless toil, one can find peace in knowing that the boulder will never reach the top. Let go of expecting a reward for reaching the top, and appreciate the rewards in pushing the boulder.
This is exactly why I purchased a steam deck. My gaming PC died (RIP to a real one), and I needed something for general use more than I did for gaming.
All killing is murder, states are just gangs big enough to have a PR team and the ability to indoctrinate the youth into following their rules.
Good on South Carolina for making that more plain.
