Can we please stop censoring words on the internet.
I kind of understand content creators doing it because they want that sweet, sweet money. But when I see people who are not getting paid ad revenue censor themselves so whatever social media platform they are on can make more money something is very wrong.

It’s US culture :/
Americans don’t have freedom of speech. Really sad.

It has its own terms for a very good reason.
It’s relative to the boat, so that if you are standing on deck and looking back everyone knows what you mean and not if you are talking about your reative left or the boats.
Port was also initially Larboard, but it turns out when shouting a direction from the other side of a boat, having two similar sounding terms for opposite directions often results in crashing said boat, so it was changed in the mid 1800s.
Theaters just call it stage right and stage left
Ok so are we settling on bow left and bow right then?
Yeah, the enemies gate is always down. My body’s left is always my body’s left. Just like the ships left is always left from the front lol.
Ain’t nobody riding around in a intertube ship lol.
So you just collectively agree that left is the ships left while you’re on the ship.
Problem solved.
The left is always the ship’s left, just like the left side of a car is always the left side of a car.
Except we say drivers/passengers side when referring to the side of a car. People dislike port because they can’t remember it from lack of use. Insecurities cause this whole discussion.
I don’t use it often at all, but when I was 6, I just remembered left/port had 4 letters and haven’t forgotten yet. Some day I might, but me forgetting doesn’t mean I should ask everyone else to stop using language.
E.g. I have a plethora of grapes. We should stop using the term plethora because they could just say “a lot.”
Let’s name them something edgy and disruptive. How about calling all four sides “X”.
All sides should be called Alladeen.
“attention all hands, pirates off the aladeen”
As. Long as no one fucks with poop deck. Don’t you take my poop deck away.
Port has the same number of letters in it as “left”. Starboard does not have the same number of letters in it as the word left.
This is such a useful fact that I probably won’t remember!
I can never remember which is which. Is there some easy way to recall which is left and which is right?
(Same goes for red and green light on the sides.)
Port ----- starboard
Left ----- right
I always remember that port is short, left is short, in terms of letter length.
Red ----- green
Also!
I was once on a boat where that stairs thingy was on its left side. The port is where you get on the boat, and the stairs thingy is how you get on the boat. The stairs thingy is on the left, so port is left. Works every time.
I give you my permission to use this mnemonic device however you see fit. You’re welcome.
“left” and “port” have the same number of letters. Conveniently, they’re also the same direction (while facing forward on the boat).
“Red Right Returning”
When two ships approach each other bow-on (that’s the front of the ship), each will see the red running light to their right. Which if my spatial reasoning hasn’t failed me, means that they’re on the left (port) side of the ship.
Red Right Return actually refers to returning to harbor or marina. The red channel navigation markers and lights will be on your right.
And not quite; the boat mounted lights indicate to the other boat who has right of way.
For two powerboats crossing, the one on the right has right of way, and they will see (are given) a green light on the other boat.
While the other sees red, like a matador’s cape, which tells it to yield. (which doesn’t work for bulls and just makes them angry because they are color blind)
If you always say left before right you can remember that port and starboard is the same order. I’ll say to myself in my head “left right, port starboard” whenever I need to remind myself.
As long as no one brings up “larboard”, it’s fine!
Well, you Left the Port to sail…
No I didn’t, I right the starboard. Right?
Which side would we tie up to the dock?
And what the fuck kind of speed measurement is “knots”?
It’s based on nautical miles which are in turn 1/60th of a latitude degree. It’s meant for easy conversions when navigating using map coordinates.
