Instead of raising money for the coast guard he could just… not waste their time needing rescued.

At this point, the guy should have already gathered some support to help him make the cross.

Crazier things have been done.

Set against the 12 million school boys and girls who started term on Monday, the government believes the figures show that its ban has been broadly accepted.

Lol the target was like 300 girls tp start with. What a pitiful way to call this a win.

It is a really cool idea though

Officials said he refused to step off the vessel and threatened to kill himself. He also claimed that he had a bomb on board, according to court papers.

Oh so he’s not a cool weirdo, he’s a terrible weirdo. Damn.

reagansrottencorpse ,

Have you kept up on Florida lately? Doesn’t sound too insane to me.

KyuubiNoKitsune ,

I mean, that sounds kinda like a desperate persons attempts to keep other people off his “boat”.

JokeDeity , to world in French state schools turn away dozens of girls wearing Muslim abaya dress

Yeah, I’m not concerned by this at all TBH. I would like to see more countries fully ban them outright.

JokeDeity , (edited ) to world in French state schools turn away dozens of girls wearing Muslim abaya dress

I’ll NEVER understand the need for so many non Muslim people to defend what is absolutely a disgusting sexist practice meant to degrade, humiliate and dehumanize women. Fuck so many of you loser fucking idiots and especially fuck you idiots saying shit like, “well what if they choose to be an object?” “What if they like being obedient to every whim of men?”

gmtom ,

Dude the only loser here is you. Itsa fuckjng dress. It’s not even like a hijab or anything it’s a fucking dress, goet over yourself you utter wank stain.

Great news! More countries need to make it uncomfortable for religious people to live normally. I’m getting tired of coddling adults!

Imagine being so fed up with living in Florida that the only way you can think to leave is by a giant hamster wheel

MrBusinessMan , to world in Florida man arrested after trying to cross Atlantic in hamster wheel vessel

This is what this country has come to under Biden. People are reduced to using crazy contraptions to try to escape to Cuba because inflation is so out of control here, they would rather roll the dice. It’s a sad reality we’re living through.

EternalNicodemus ,
@EternalNicodemus@lemmy.world avatar

Def a joke (I hope)

MrBusinessMan ,

What’s funny about it? This is just the beginning, soon many more people will be attempting such desperate crossings as the situation continues to deteriorate (UNLESS we can take our country back this November). God have mercy on their souls and hopefully they can escape to freedom.

EternalNicodemus ,
@EternalNicodemus@lemmy.world avatar

Ok lmao

supercriticalcheese ,

Are you okay?

canni ,

Why do you think inflation is getting so bad, specifically? You think it could have something to do with the $5 trillion trump handed out during COVID or nah?

MrBusinessMan ,

That has nothing to do with it. It’s because of Bidenomics

canni ,

Go on

MrBusinessMan ,

Biden gave all the money to Ukraine instead of stopping inflation. I had to cut my employees wages because I can hardly afford gasoline anymore for my private jet.

KyuubiNoKitsune ,

There’s your problem right there… You need to cut wages, do some layoffs, and increase the price of your product while reducing the size and quality of it. This is the only way to beat inflation now…

Restaldt ,

Psst stop feeding the troll

Just block him

canni ,

I don’t think your trolling is helping the overall discourse

ashgillman , to world in Florida man arrested after trying to cross Atlantic in hamster wheel vessel

The guy made it 110km?! I mean, I’m still pretty impressed

supercriticalcheese , to world in Florida man arrested after trying to cross Atlantic in hamster wheel vessel

I’m not an expert in maritime law, or any law for that matter, but why they had to help him?

If he wanted to be in danger he succeeded, provided he doesn’t request the coastal guard for assistance he is not hurting anything but himself. Is It because his hamster wheel might have been a hazard to other boats?

barsoap ,

Article 98 UNCLOS, “Duty to render assistance”:

  1. Every State shall require the master of a ship flying its flag, in so far as he can do so without serious danger to the ship, the crew or the passengers:

a. to render assistance to any person found at sea in danger of being lost;
b. to proceed with all possible speed to the rescue of persons in distress, if informed of their need of assistance, in so far as such action may reasonably be expected of him;
c. after a collision, to render assistance to the other ship, its crew and its passengers and, where possible, to inform the other ship of the name of his own ship, its port of registry and the nearest port at which it will call.

  1. Every coastal State shall promote the establishment, operation and maintenance of an adequate and effective search and rescue service regarding safety on and over the sea and, where circumstances so require, by way of mutual regional arrangements cooperate with neighbouring States for this purpose.
supercriticalcheese ,

Thank you barsoap! So even if there is no assistance request is given if the person is clearly lost or soon to be in need of assistance you need to provide assistance.

bobman , to world in Florida man arrested after trying to cross Atlantic in hamster wheel vessel

What is the legal justification for this?

Spikke ,

“He is now facing federal charges of obstruction of a boarding, and violation of a Captain of the Port order.”

nova_ad_vitum ,

If you asked me to make up naval-related criminal charges while I was drunk, this is the sort of shit I would come up with.

nostradiel ,
@nostradiel@lemmy.world avatar

I don’t understand it either… He’s obviously nuts, but that’s his life and he should be able to choose to do what he wishes to. Doesn’t matter on law. Most of the laws is just jurisdictional bullshit anyway. You don’t need to have laws to know what’s good or bad. Every decent moral ethic human being knows what’s good or bad.

stevedidWHAT ,
@stevedidWHAT@lemmy.world avatar

Except for humans who are mentally unwell and might cause damage to others or their property which is why detaining mentally unwell people and getting them help before they can hurt themselves is important.

Would you let a child crawl into a washing machine?

nostradiel ,
@nostradiel@lemmy.world avatar

I don’t want to be cruel but natural selection has its meaning. We as a society are exaggerating helping and healing some individuals who should rather be alone somewhere where they can live peacefuly or weirdly without depleting our resources. It is already out-of control and will end by the end of our civilization. It’s inevitable.

Child is a child and should be watched and teached but severely mentally ill individual cannot be integrated. And if someone wants to die on the see, just fucking let him.

stevedidWHAT ,
@stevedidWHAT@lemmy.world avatar

I think I understand where you’re coming from but I have to say I think you’re totally wrong and dangerously so.

First things first, we’re talking about human life and death and thus should treat things carefully because the results are, well deadly and irreversible.

Now, to get right to the point, natural selection is about masses and populations >>naturally<< surviving those who did not adapt as well. It’s not about what causes death, but what enables the continual existence of life and that distinction is vital.

Lastly, for my opinion portion, we as human beings are cognizant of ourselves and of the universe. We are not birds on an island and thus it’s in our nature to be cognizant and to make choices through our consciousness. That’s our natural selection right there.

Letting someone who is ill harm themselves, instead of helping them live comfortably while we figure out how to “correct or adapt” them to live comfortably is unnatural for us as humans. Many animals and other living creatures seemingly show signs of empathy and team work.

Sounds to me like your environment might be naturally selecting an unnatural outlook for your life if you’re really cool with letting mentally sick or disordered people hurt themselves.

We’re a species that thrives off cooperation and team work, don’t forget that friend! Idk if you’ve had family in your life with mental illness but I know it can burn. You. Out. But you gotta remember that we’re complex and amazing creatures that this planet hasn’t ever fuckin seen yet (probably) were capable of beautiful and powerful things if we keep our heads on straight and our engines cooled

Corkyskog ,

This is like the third time they have had to rescue him, it’s a waste of tax payer money.

Widowmaker_Best_Girl ,

So don’t rescue him then? He knows it’s a stupid idea, let him take his own risk.

Corkyskog ,

It’s a little more complicated then that. He could be a safety hazard for other boats and travel lanes. And then when some boat calls in the contraption as a rescue concern, they have no way of knowing its him until they get to him. It could be some other idiot in a makeshift raft for all they know.

I guess they could just slap a GPS on the device that way they can warn other boats or ignore rescue calls, but that seems like a lot of work just to placate one dude.

Exusia ,
@Exusia@lemmy.world avatar

The part where upon being stopped by the Coast Guard - he threatened to kill himself and that he had a bomb. Also his device is not seaworthy and they would be dispatched to find him anyway when he dissapears because that’s what they have to do.

bobman ,

I didn’t know you needed to have a seaworthy device to sail on open waters.

Agent641 ,

Hazard to other traffic. If you cant steer, dont have lights, dont have a radio, and dont have a beacon or radar reflector, you’re being a pain in the ass for everyone else on the high seas.

Just like how a car needs to have a minimum standard of roadworthiness to drive on public roads

bobman ,

Is he really a hazard to other traffic, or just himself?

Agent641 ,

Cargo ship owners dont want to scrape plastic and meat gunk out of their propellers

Harpsist , to world in Florida man arrested after trying to cross Atlantic in hamster wheel vessel

They are going about this all wrong. They need to HIRE this guy.

He won’t need to flee the continent if he’s gainfully employed.
