The timing of the boat’s arrival in Seattle and the job cuts was coincidental, but the irony was not lost among the people who hustled down to the locks to see the giant yacht after word spread through the neighborhood and online. Some booed from the shore and heckled the crew.
Bumpers on the side of the boat were about the size of small SUVs, while the back deck had a covered pool and hot tub. More than a dozen crew members were visible, many enjoying the trip through the channel on a partly sunny evening.
im seeing lots of “mildly” infuriated comments lol … carry on
Oh Dagon, Father of the Deep Ones. Please hear our prayer and accept our sacrifice.
Blow his brains out
Set it on fire.
Literally took the words out of my mouth!
Torch it!
Remember that time when Ukraine used a remote control mini boat loaded with explosives to sink a war ship that was basically the jewel of Russia’s navy?
Anyway, just reminiscing. Gonna read the article now.
Didn’t the boat take out a bridge?
Not sure if you mean the Moskva, that one was taken out by anti-ship missiles. But let’s do both, just to be sure?
I saw this when I was on vacation in Mo’orea a couple of years back. It’s truly egregious. There’s a helipad, jet skis, a floating bouncy house, and more. As ridiculous as that is, his super yacht has a buddy yacht that has a full medical staff on board and travels with it. It looks like a military radar ship with all of the dishes and shit on it.
Eat the rich.
If I was a talented writer I would consider a short story about someone getting onto the medical staff just to murder Zuckerberg.
Maybe some sort of rom-com where two people have done so and they suspect each other of being corporate bootlickers, but in the end they fall in love. And murder Zuckerberg.
Oh the romantic payoff would be fantastic :-)
Idris Elba and Anne Hathaway should be the leads.
I still can’t wrap my head around why he has 2 helipads. They don’t have that for most hospitals.
One for his helicopter and another for his built in bionic flight system. He’s rich enough that he can have separate helipads for each.
If I had to work for Zuck I’d be fucking thrilled to be on the buddy yacht instead of the main ship.
That is 100% close enough to land a molotov
Me calling those whales:
They should have been raining down from both sides of the canal.
Drone-deployed thermite, anyone?

Except Americans are fucking cowards to the last individual
I don’t strictly disagree, but it’s harder for Americans to properly protest when they may be killed or jailed for a peaceful protest vs, say, France, where farmers literally coated government buildings with shit and their non-militarized police just went “well of course, that’s their right!” Meanwhile, when German press went to the US to cover the George Floyd protests, police shot at them, even though they were well identified, cooperative members of the press.
It’s not like Americans have been dining out on a national identity of “personal sacrifice to fight tyranny against great odds” for a couple centuries or anything, right?
If they’d spent the last 50 years of obnoxious flag-waving about “let’s all not make waves and chill out so that we can continue to keep our shitty jobs and maintain our relative comfort,” then I’d give them a pass.
But no- putting down authoritarians and fascists is exactly the thing Americans have spent the last 70 years belligerently insisting they’re especially good at. If they don’t have this, they have fucking nothing and they deserve whatever MAGA gives them.
It’s just a matter of time now
While I’m all against polluting, that would make a fine artificial reef at the bottom of the lake.
Complete with zuckerberg skeliton.
Wouldn’t it be funny if someone snuck onboard and sabotaged that fucker somehow?
would be the perfect crime. there’s 1400 suspects.
You’d better thank America’s Job Creators for the gig economy, Peasants!
Sorry but why are these things even called yachts still? Mega yacht, super yacht, whatever you call it they are basically billionaire holiday ships.
They are basically the billionaires version of an emotional support vehicle (aka. american sized pickup trucks), and should have a name that reflects that, not take the name of a small self skippered boat thats used for adventure and exploration under the skippers own sweat and skill rigging the sails, steering, etc.Cope boat
Yeah. It’s a motorboat. My great uncle was rich and had a ridiculously big motorboat, but he never called it a yacht. He loved sailing. He had two actual yachts for that.
motorboat is not the term you guys are looking for. a motorboat is a step above a dinghy
It’s a boat. With a motor.
Although we do mockingly refer to ugly boats like that as clothes irons.
Motorboating usually happens to tig ol bitties.
Yeah, my first thought was “that’s no yacht. It’s a ship.”
It would give me joy to see that thing sink.
underwater drone with 5kg of c4
Wait wait wait wait! Hold on! You should be ashamed for even suggesting that!!! You can’t sink Zuckerbergs yacht!!!
Get a camera crew down there first, and put it on ppv! THEN blow it up!!! I’d pay $34.99 or whatever the current ppv price model is to watch Zuckerbergs yacht get blown up!
But also, can we do this while he’s out at sea first???
Wait!!! Hold on!!!
…I need to go make popcorn first.
The problem is insurance would pay it off and all their customers would get a payment augmentation. Isn’t it nice how the rich world works.
He would just buy another, probably even bigger 😕
then we infect the supply chain
5kg of c4
overkill. Shitty shotgun loaded with a slug. Hit it at the right spot.
