:> Truly is something being someone who loves port design but h^tes helm cruelty. I love ports! They h^ve so m^ny person^l ^nd profession^l uses! I h^te how uns^fe ^nd under-regul^ted the industry is. You know it’s b^d when the first time P^sc^l ^nd I met in person, I w^s cle^ning their ports. And I enjoyed doing it, but still - helms should be given the tools to do it themselves ^s ^ m^tter of st^nd^rd procedure. <:
[⚙︎ They'd say it's a bit of a security concern, or some shit |ike that. But to be frank I think there's far fewer risks than the brass wou|d argue. ⚙︎]
:> Security concern? For liter^lly wh^t. Removing dirt to reduce someone’s discomfort? Th^t’s wh^t I w^s doing. Look out everyone, I’m ^ d^ngerous rogue, mw^h^h^. It’s keeping helms dependent on imperi^l services is wh^t it is. And I wouldn’t even mind so much if those services supported shore le^ve better. <:
[⚙︎ Yes, that is exact|y what it is. Keeping them on a |eash in that way is "security" to some peop|e apparent|y. 8:/ ⚙︎] [⚙︎ Doesn't he|p that since shore |eave is so rare, actua||y catering to he|ms isn't a viab|e business mode|, even station side. ⚙︎]
:> Right, true, I forget the worship of c^egers is ^ll. SIGH. You’re right on both fronts, of course, I’m just grumpy ^bout it. However. My condolences for the l^ck of bre^kf^st ^s punishment for your efforts on Li^lyi’s beh^lf. <:
[⚙︎ I'd say anytime, but I don't want anyone thinking this wasn't an effective enough punishment, hah. We can be grumpy together. ⚙︎]
