- Corner guy is my bladder: They don’t know I need to pee.
- Right side couple is my sensory system: Yes we do. It’s really obvious.
- Left side couple is my executive system: But the Golden Age of Piracy is too interesting.
omg, don’t get me started! The pirates were sooooo interesting! They were revolutionary for their time. One of the things they would do is assault slave ships and free the people that were enslaved. Then, those people could join the pirate ranks. They formed a democratic republic in the Bahamas. Then, individual ships would elect Captains. Outside of live combat, the Captain could be replaced by a simple majority vote at any time. The majority of them really preferred to avoid hurting others, so they tried to employ fear tactics that would cause the ships being assaulted to surrender without a fight. One time, a group of them mounted a ship completely naked except for their weapons. The other ship was so terrified, they surrender without any fight. Can you imagine a pack of pirates mounting your ships ready to fight completely naked?? lol
I hear even today, the best way to get out of a fight is to strip naked so the other person thinks you’re insane.
