Hello.

1nn1t2/10/2026

hey !!
just btw, it's really ominous that you're using proper punctuation lol

TechnoBlade2/10/2026

Oh.
Sorry

1nn1t2/10/2026

it's alright, dw about it
okay so. on the topic of totally legal activities
you mentioned wanting to learn about piracy?

TechnoBlade2/10/2026

Yeah
I've done it before, but I kinda retired for a bit, and now everything's different

1nn1t2/10/2026

yeahh fair
that tends to happen
like i stop paying attention for a week and suddenly all my favorite sites are down

TechnoBlade2/10/2026

Mhm

None of the sites I used to go to for items are active anymore
It sucks
I also don't have a crew anymore

1nn1t2/10/2026

a crew?
you mean like a team

TechnoBlade2/10/2026

Basically, yeah

1nn1t2/10/2026

did you have one back when you started?

TechnoBlade2/10/2026

Yep

1nn1t2/10/2026

dang
my crew's just me lol

TechnoBlade2/10/2026

Really?
That's pretty impressive

1nn1t2/10/2026

eh, not really
i've never heard of anyone having a "crew" tbh
but anyway
what dyou want to learn about?

TechnoBlade2/10/2026

Everything

1nn1t2/10/2026

…
okay so i'm guessing you'll want to start with movies
or music
do you like listening to music?

TechnoBlade2/10/2026

Yeah
How are you supposed to pirate music though?

1nn1t2/10/2026

… the same way you'd pirate anything else
by stealing it

TechnoBlade2/10/2026

But what's the point?
It's all online anyway, isn't it?

1nn1t2/10/2026

yeah, but sometimes it's behind a paywall
or it has ads
or stuff like that
so you pirate it to get around paying money to giant corporations

TechnoBlade2/10/2026

Hmm

1nn1t2/10/2026

you don't have to personally do that ofc
there's a lot of other stuff you can pirate
like games
tv shows
school textbooks

TechnoBlade2/10/2026

School textbooks?

1nn1t2/10/2026

those fuckers are EXPENSIVE okay

TechnoBlade2/10/2026

I see
I suppose what I'm wondering about is how to get around the Navy

1nn1t2/10/2026

the what

TechnoBlade2/10/2026

The Navy
You know what that is, right?
It's like law enforcement for the sea

1nn1t2/10/2026

obviously i know what the navy is
anyway
there's definitely things you can do to stay safer
like using proxies whenever you're trying to torrent something

TechnoBlade2/10/2026

I see
And if I didn't want to use a proxy?

1nn1t2/10/2026

you don't HAVE to, but it's a bigger risk if you don't

TechnoBlade2/10/2026

Isn't there a risk of the proxy betraying you, though?

1nn1t2/10/2026

not if you pick the right one
there's some pretty secure proxies out there
and like
it's not the end of the world if you don't
just don't start downloading a bunch of shit all at once

TechnoBlade2/10/2026

That won't be a problem
I don't need to download anything

1nn1t2/10/2026

??

TechnoBlade2/10/2026

Unless that's something else that's changed

1nn1t2/10/2026

yyyeah
hold on-

TechnoBlade2/10/2026

Alright

1nn1t2/10/2026

sorry about that
i was hanging out in a coffee shop and they closed
didn't realize what time it was
would recommend the coffee shop, btw
it's called "niki's bakery"
super chill place
if you happen to live in the area ofc
niki's chill with me hanging out there and doing my thing
which is nice
i've had people chase me out of coffee shops before
"pIrAcY iS iLlEgaL" yeah well so is your FACE, bitch
sorry
anyway
just lmk if you've got any more questions

TechnoBlade2/10/2026

I've never been to a coffee shop before
I'll have to check it out

1nn1t2/10/2026

you've never been to a coffee shop???

TechnoBlade2/10/2026

Never wanted to
I can just make my own coffee
That one is near where I live, though

1nn1t2/10/2026

it's not about the coffee, it's about the VIBES
doing work in a coffee shop is so much fun

TechnoBlade2/10/2026

Interesting
Well, thank you for the information
I have some things to sort out in regards to my ship, so I will be logging off for today

1nn1t2/10/2026

ship?
OH like a computer?

TechnoBlade2/10/2026

No, like a ship
You know what a ship is, right?

1nn1t2/10/2026

haha
very funny
well, gl with the "ship"

TechnoBlade2/10/2026

Thank you

TechnoBlade2/11/2026

I have a question

1nn1t2/11/2026

yeah, what's up

TechnoBlade2/11/2026

What does that coffee shop serve

1nn1t2/11/2026

coffee
and also tea
cookies
crosants
lots of baked goods
why? are you there now?

TechnoBlade2/11/2026

Not yet, no
I was hoping to figure out what to order before I got there
What's a crosant?
I've never heard of that before

1nn1t2/11/2026

oh FUCK off
crissaunt is a hard word to spell
the stupid
cresent moon things

TechnoBlade2/11/2026

Do you mean croissant?

1nn1t2/11/2026

YES
that
they're really good btw

TechnoBlade2/11/2026

Hmm
I might have to try one

1nn1t2/11/2026

let me know what you think of them!
are you going today, or?

TechnoBlade2/11/2026

Yeah
Once I figure out how to get there

1nn1t2/11/2026

it should be on google maps

TechnoBlade2/11/2026

The last time I used Google Maps, it told me to walk through a river

1nn1t2/11/2026

HA
skill issue

TechnoBlade2/11/2026

I've got a map printed out
So I should be able to find it anyway
It's like two minute's walk from where I live

1nn1t2/11/2026

that's cool
it's a longer walk for me
worth it tho

TechnoBlade2/11/2026

Thanks for the recommendation
It's good coffee
And the owner seems nice

1nn1t2/11/2026

yeah ofc!
niki's awesome :D

TechnoBlade2/11/2026

It was pretty quiet, too

1nn1t2/11/2026

yeah, it gets empty in the afternoon
that's when i usually go
oh also
check this out
[img.png]
saw this guy there today and he reminded me of you
like an old-fashioned pirate

TechnoBlade2/11/2026

How'd you get that picture of me

1nn1t2/11/2026

LMAO

TechnoBlade2/11/2026

No, like actually
That's me

1nn1t2/11/2026

wait
wtf

TechnoBlade2/11/2026

You were at the coffee shop today?

1nn1t2/11/2026

… maybe

TechnoBlade2/11/2026

I'm just curious
Because I didn't see you there
The only person when I got there was some kid with a laptop computer

1nn1t2/11/2026

oH FUCK OFF
IM NOT A KID
IM A BIG STSRONG MAN

TechnoBlade2/11/2026

Wait, that was you?

1nn1t2/11/2026

uh. no

TechnoBlade2/11/2026

Really?

1nn1t2/11/2026

internet safety, bitch
i'm not telling some random internet stranger where i am or what i look like >.>

TechnoBlade2/11/2026

Fair enough
I just thought you were a pirate

1nn1t2/11/2026

yeah, i am ??
been doing this for like. five years now

TechnoBlade2/11/2026

Have you ever even been on a ship?

1nn1t2/11/2026

???
how is that relevant

TechnoBlade2/11/2026

It's sort of required to be a pirate, right?

1nn1t2/11/2026

literally all you need to be a pirate is like. a computer

TechnoBlade2/11/2026

What do computers have to do with being a pirate??

1nn1t2/11/2026

the fuck are you talking about
you pirate things online
that's how it works
pirate ships were a thing back in the fuckin . 1700's or some shit

TechnoBlade2/11/2026

… yeah
They're still a thing, aren't they?

1nn1t2/11/2026

wait…
hold on
are you saying
you're like
an actual pirate
like sailing the high seas, cannons and muskets and rum sort of pirate
davy jones locker and all that

TechnoBlade2/11/2026

Somewhat?
All pirates sail on the seas, though, that's kinda the whole thing

1nn1t2/11/2026

yeah, well, literally no one's that kind of pirate anymore

TechnoBlade2/11/2026

Then why is there a whole SubReddit for piracy?

1nn1t2/11/2026

that's for ONLINE piracy
different things

TechnoBlade2/11/2026

Oh
You know what, that actually makes a lot of sense
I'm pretty sure real-life pirates still exist, though
I looked it up the other day

1nn1t2/11/2026

no way

TechnoBlade2/11/2026

They're not as cool, though
Fashion peaked in the 1700's

1nn1t2/11/2026

so what, you're a modern day pirate?

TechnoBlade2/11/2026

Trying to get back into it, yeah
It's a lot different than it was back in the day
There's been too many advancements in sailing technology for me to keep up with, but it's hard finding a crew who's experienced with older sailing ships
Not to mention how the Thanatos needs a lot of repairs to be seaworthy again

1nn1t2/11/2026

the thanatos???

TechnoBlade2/11/2026

Yep

1nn1t2/11/2026

how the fuck did you find it
it hasn't been around since captain philza finally caught the blade
the ship just. disappeared

TechnoBlade2/11/2026

How do you know about that?

1nn1t2/11/2026

idk man
i like learning shit about pirates
they're just awesome
but seriously
did you find the actual thanatos??
because if so i HAVE to see that

TechnoBlade2/11/2026

It was never lost in the first place
And also, Captain Philza never caught me
I faked my death
The government just told everyone otherwise, so it would look like the Navy was actually doing something

1nn1t2/11/2026

are you insane
like actually

TechnoBlade2/11/2026

?

1nn1t2/11/2026

captain blade was around like two centuries ago
he's definitely not alive anymore

TechnoBlade2/11/2026

Did you not see my user name?

1nn1t2/11/2026

usernames aren't proof of anything???
what, you think my name's actually innit?

TechnoBlade2/11/2026

Yeah?
It clearly says your name is 1nn1t

1nn1t2/11/2026

that's a USERNAME
not my ACTUAL name

TechnoBlade2/11/2026

Is a user name not supposed to be the name of the user?

1nn1t2/11/2026

i mean, it can be, but usually it's not

TechnoBlade2/11/2026

Ohhhhh

That explains a lot, actually

1nn1t2/11/2026

so wait, are you immortal?

TechnoBlade2/11/2026

No

1nn1t2/11/2026

you're literally claiming to be a pirate from centuries ago
how tf does that not make you immortal

TechnoBlade2/11/2026

Just because no one's managed to kill me yet, doesn't make me immortal

1nn1t2/11/2026

a mortal person would definitely have died by now

TechnoBlade2/11/2026

Well, I don't believe in immortality
Anyone who ever tried to kill me just needs to get good

1nn1t2/11/2026

wtf

TechnoBlade2/11/2026

Although, come to think of it, I definitely killed Captain Philza at least once
By accident
And he's still alive

1nn1t2/11/2026

?????
WHAT DO YOU MEAN HES STILL ALIVE

TechnoBlade2/11/2026

Maybe immortality does exist
But no, I'm not immortal
Just really good at staying alive

1nn1t2/11/2026

genuinely how do you think that

TechnoBlade2/11/2026

Because it's either that or immortality, and again, immortality isn't real

1nn1t2/11/2026

CLEARLY IT IS
also you literally JUST said captain philza is immortal
which is a WHOLE OTHER THING

TechnoBlade2/11/2026

Maybe it's real for some people, but I'm not immortal, I just haven't died yet
It's really not that complicated

1nn1t2/11/2026

oh fuck off
iTs NoT thAt complicated

TechnoBlade2/11/2026

What happened to your capitalization?

1nn1t2/11/2026

it's called sarcasm, bitch
i'm making fun of you
because you're being stupid
you're clearly immortal

TechnoBlade2/11/2026

I don't get why this is so hard for you to understand

1nn1t2/11/2026

ITS NOT
YOURE JUST NOT MAKINGN SENSE

TechnoBlade2/11/2026

Mhm, sure

1nn1t2/11/2026

FUCK YOU
anyway
that does explain why you don't know anything about piracy

TechnoBlade2/11/2026

I know a lot about piracy, actually

1nn1t2/11/2026

i meant modern piracy :/
the online kind
so! i have a deal for you

TechnoBlade2/11/2026

A deal?

1nn1t2/11/2026

yep
you teach me about being a pirate on a ship, and i teach you how to steal things online
sound good?

TechnoBlade2/11/2026

Why do you want to learn about being a pirate on a ship?

1nn1t2/11/2026

because it's cool as fuck

TechnoBlade2/11/2026

Fair enough
You have yourself a deal

1nn1t2/11/2026

LRTS GOOO
this is the best day of my life :DD

TechnoBlade2/11/2026

I regret this already

1nn1t2/11/2026

L
