going to be working on a cargo ship for 6 months what kinos should I bring?
Waterworld
preferably non water related kinoes
it's weird, when you're gone for extended periods of time you start to crave watching random shit
like last time I put twilight on my 1TB hdd as a joke but ended up watching it and wishing I brought the sequels
Pirates of the Caribbean
JAWS
Based.
b***h ass homie.
4 and you fall overboard to drown and die alone
Digits and you get raped and thrown overboard by Somalian butt pirates.
do you have any entertainment on there? you should probably bring a book
my laptop and my steam deck
Bring a copy duke nukem megaton edition. There's a fun level in Episode 4 where you get to shoot up the exxon valdez.
>troony deck
Kek loser
deck is great, except for the godawful wifi card
Honest advice? Six months is a long time, you will probably run out of shows.
I agree with this guy, bring a few books, they last longer. Heck, bring a Bible.
books take up too much space, I have a bunch of audiobooks I listen to while I play dark souls on my steam deck
Can you bring a console?
sure but why the frick would I do that that sounds gay
A handheld.
Why not just bring a kindle or something, get a bunch of books on that?
just download a free ebook reader like "calibre" for your laptop
you can get most books for free from online archives in pdf format
so you just read it on your lappy
also put a few cracked games on the lappy that don't require access to the internet
just get some cheap mp3 player and put music on that not on your phone
and maybe get a jailbroke portable gaming device and load it up with games
So if you have time off-shore you can just take your phone and listen to spotify if you have to go through customs and leave the rest of the shit in your locker.
clean your backpack and luggage with bleach before you leave so it has no traces of drugs and shit on them
same with your wallet
get a wallet that stops people with chip readers from being able to read your bank cards
same thing with a passport holder
scan all your id, including your passport + visa, any documentation proving you are employed to work on the ship shit like that, as well as health insurance and phone details for next of kin save it as a high quality pdf to a thumb drive and keep that in your luggage
i'd be hesitant to scan bank cards and shit like that in case someone stole the thumb drive but that's up to you.
Maybe keep one bank card separate in your locker or luggage or whatever along with some id so if you do lose your wallet you can cancel your cards but you still have the ability to use your back up card and you still have some form of id as well
Some long running tv show so you don't run out of something to watch
You got no WiFi onboard to stream?
not good enough to stream, you get 40gb a month
you need advanced first air and stcw basic safety certs so like 2k worth of certs every 5 years
>you need advanced first air and stcw basic safety certs so like 2k worth of certs every 5 years
Thanks, I always assumed you needed to have some navy/cruise ship experience to those jobs
As for your question
Dexter 1-8
Six Feet Under
And Tubi
digits and you get raped by some southeast asian crewmates
How does one get a job in a cargo ship?
benjamin button
Skinamarink, Hardware, and Death Machine
Fargo (both the movie and the show)
I watched the show on my last ship, it was good>meh>pozzed-beyond-all-recognition
Das Boot
>going to be working on a cargo ship
Enjoy getting taken hostage with no way of defending yourself besides flimsy water cannons.
How do people like you have relationships?
I mean I post on this website, does that answer your question? might get a tug job later on so I can go home every night
Hint: they dont
Not OP, but fellow seafarer here. Mostly we don't. Every sailor has been cheated on at some point. Don't go to sea kids.
Also Avatar last airbender, GITS, and other long anime series.
Any job where you're away for months or years really
yeah but we cheat also so it evens out
Is it true that sailors frick other dudes or is that just a meme?
Maybe it was true in the past. Nowadays they instead catch and spread every STD known to man in every port they visit. Especially guys on bulk carriers which stay in ports for weeks on end.
>6 months
That's nothing. You'll be fine.
Don't bring depressing shit. No dramas or historical movies.
Just get some action slop that you can pass around the crew, like Top Gun or whatever. Maybe also series like Sunny Philly or South Park. Shounen trash anime is also ok.
We don't. It's a perfect job for socially dead people on this site.
DBZ streaming 24/7 for the boys
it's fine the first time you do it and maybe one or more time after that, once you get used to 6+ month long contracts life gets very sad
I'm not sure we just call it the officer's deck
Also gets lots of music. Music videos too. And some braindead sandbox vidya like GTA or Ubishit games.
I'm heading for couple of 10+ contracts. It is what it is.
Life is kinda sad but it was worse off as a NEET tbh. Like I said, for poor antisocial people, stuck in 3rd world shitholes, this job is a ticket out.
>officer's deck
A deck then. View seemed kinda low but it's facing forward so I assumed you were an AB or something.
The Shot Caller (2017)
>be you, in a very possible future
>char-dark coon somalian pirates start to board your ship
>everyone else is panicking the frick out, no one knows what to do
>everyone's dumb asses gets taken hostage
>you: "put the word out, these lames are greenlit"
>you, before you got taken, had craftily managed to stick 2 whole pocket knives up your veteran ass
>you start taking out guards, and steal their weapons
>facing the original crew members, you say "time to put in some work, iron up"
>some homosexual goes "are we gonna kill people?"
>you: "The fact is, we all started out as someone's little angel. But if you leave one of those Black folk breathing, I'm whacking you."
>"o-okay"
>you start calling the shots, making them take certain positions to out-maneuver the enemy
>total Black person death on the ship
>you're given the keys to the ship
do it OP
underappreciated post
Cats Don't Dance
Is it labor intensive or lots of sitting around? I can scrounge up cert money easy but I don't really want to "work"
Not OP, but those types of jobs are luck of the draw. I had a few jobs this year where I was sleeping in trucks or just sitting in an office all day.
Current job I'm on requires me to actually work like 70% of the day.
I don't know how it is on cargo ships but my brother works for the navy and he says it's a normal 8 to 10 hour work day then you get your off time to do whatever. Also constant fire drills.
>40gb/month
thats only enough for Cinemaphile browsing
you're going to want to bring some porn.
Porn to keep you from going gay
Don't go to the red sea. Thank me later.
This sounds like a based way to kick my Internet addiction. How hard are those jobs to get?
Pornography? Also The Little Mermaid, your choice as to version
I like to watch video game cutscenes compilated into a movie. GTA San Andreas is like 10 hours worth of cutscenes.
Honest question, how do you cope with seasickness? Do you get acclimatized to it after a few hours or days?
Some people just don't get it as much. You can take dramamine.

Do they take 29 year old losers?
Below Deck!
The Wire season 2
My degree only gets me jobs that pay ~$15/hr. Should I try to join the army as an officer? I think it'd be cool to fire artillery.
Become a lineman, those frickers make bank
My brother in law does this, good pay. He doesn’t have a degree, not even sure he can read tbqh
I have an uncle who did this for 30 years and still has a high-school drop out’s understanding of electricity. He’s also a multimillionaire from buying and holding real estate. Cast him
This didn’t happen.
It absolutely did. He’s arguably the dumbest rich guy I know, and I know a few. He also never shuts up about moose hunting. Cast him
You don’t really have an uncle.
False, I have a few
They're a bunch of fricking morons but their job is so dangerous no sane person would do it so it evens out.
I don’t know what that is
The guys who are up in buckets working on power lines
th-thanks
They’re the guys who block for the running back and quarterbacks.
They're the guys that draw the lines on ruled notebooks
arc flashes are my worst nightmare
6 months is a long time. Buy a used 1tb and just hoard stuff from open directories, they usually have good selection of movies
The Dark Knight Rises
Titanic
Master and Commander
Das Boot
Hunt for Red October
watch all of days of our lives
Download Rome Total War collection and Medieval 2 on a cheap iPhone.
A mix of movies you love and some you haven't seen.

God Bless. Jesus protects you.
The entire to date 14430 episodes of Days of Our Lives. Do it. DO IT.
Unless he’s trying specifically for buttsex from other sailors, maybe not the best choice
I've been at sea for 6 months, it's pretty tough. I watched some anime essentials like nge, death note, berserk etc.

Slowly murder everyone on the ship one by one, meticulously hiding their bodies. See how long it takes for anyone to notice (in minecraft)
make sure to hide your porn and nazi documentaries in various random subfolders before you share your hard drive with the rest of the crew, also buy a kindle and stock up on ebooks
>t. work on cargo ships
Na what you do is take someone's hard drive and replace all their tv shows with dirty porn but rename the porn to the episode titles
Oh, fellow bulkhead. Nice view buddy. Cabin on the B deck?
>buy a kindle and stock up on ebooks
Good advice. Get a bunch of podcasts too and some fun books from Tom Clancy or whatever.
You'll have wifi so you don't need to 'bring' anything, you will have access to the internet and can get whatever you need. However, you are not going to have the time or energy to watch kino. I worked a Cargo ship along the Columbia River between Washington and Oregon and we worked 4-16 hour days. Any free time I had was committed to eating and sleeping. So glad it's over, it was hell on earth. Hope you make it, anon.
14-16 hours a day***
>You'll have wifi so you don't need to 'bring' anything
absolutely not the case in international shipping

Coincidentally enough I watched this during my last voyage. Great movie but it's not a comfy watch. It's more grim than Dunkirk.
Lord of the rings trilogy extended edition, theres 12 hours for you right there
X Files. You can’t get comfier than X Files
I’m on season 2 and it’s starting to lose me.
You’re not supposed to binge it. It’s a comfy monster of the week show.
Anyone ever read moby dick
How does it pay?
hope your ship isn't full of mislabeled Chinese DG or Teslas
