Context on the pic? Did a ship run aground recently?

Yeah, in Norway

A bit surprised op didn't provide link, but might be because news takes a little bit of time to get translated. No major outlet reported in English just yet, but pics so it happened: https://www.msn.com/en-xl/news/other/astonishing-moment-135-metre-tanker-crashes-into-homeowners-garden-barely-missing-his-house/ar-AA1Fhehd

It is understood the same vessel has run aground three times previously within the last three years.

That sounds excessive; at some point it seems like that should cost someone their job?

spends all its time just cruising around, picking up chicks. damn, i want to be a boat now

Well to be honest if I had to go to Epstein island as something, a boat wouldn't be the worst thing. I might become complicit of human trafficking but I would be a boat, what could I do to stop it anyway? But you do have nice weather and you get tonsee all the other druglord and tax avoider islands.

What the fuck was the crew doing? They ran aground and then just chilled on their boat until the people on shore called emergency services??

[–] huppakee@lemm.ee 2 points 1 day ago

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Yes. Early this morning outside of Trondheim, Norway. It’s still stuck there.
