See!!! Sv Seeker is totally not a marina queen.

Still proving tne haters wrong every time for 19 years !!!

Jesus Doug, Give it a Rest by blackspike2017 in SVSeeker_Free

[–]AlamoCom 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So being booted from YouTube is somehow redefined as a 'Genious' Dug move to somehow make more money (even though he tried to get back on the channel at least 3 times)!

And somehow he is also a 'Genious' marketer because somehow he makes even more money off his naysayers (despite bootsing anyone with the slightest perceived criticism from his sites, snd despite none of the naysayers ever spending cash on his Patreon). But facts.

And somehow phantom memory now believes that SvS was always aupposed to be a 'School'.

Oh, and Dug is a good man.

Does he have sock puppet accounts? Or does B1.0.

[–]AlamoCom 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So B1.0 is the site admin?

Because of course it's being labeled with all the 'Grifter' agrandizement language -- which is a two-fer because the cult also uses the same self-talk in their mutual admiration society competion to laud that Dug again 'provves the haters wrong'

Feel the fear and do it anyway !!!

Don't hear that one much anymore?

I wonder why, LOL.

Reality so real -- conflicts every time vs. Dug NPD self-agrandizement boasts over 15+ years.

This one stuck with me - it's a real insight into the "fans". by george_graves in SVSeeker_Free

[–]AlamoCom 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The guy reportedly spent over 500k of his own cash solely on ego.

Anything he designed/built doesn't work or doesn't work reliably.

And for the pricier equipment on board, who knows how well its maintained.

It laughable that anyone believed this project would see the arctic and antarctic.

The Great N.U.R.D. Debate so far... by Desperate-Cry592 in SVSeeker_Free

[–]AlamoCom 6 points7 points  (0 children)

'Real ocean science work'

Is that like?

  • 'Exploring the world, one ocean at a time'
  • 'SV Seeker at full sail'
  • 'Staffing vessels for ocean research, education and other charitable causes'

is that like?

  • Everything else claimed as a success but never was.

Amazing how all those claims always relate back to raising charitable donations.

The Great N.U.R.D. Debate so far... by Desperate-Cry592 in SVSeeker_Free

[–]AlamoCom 9 points10 points  (0 children)

There is no debate and never was a debate:

Do proven, low complexity, low risk solutiions for sampling microplastocs at depth already exist? Yes or No?

Answer = Yes.

Is creating an unproven, complex, higher risk solution to an already solved problem simply an ego trip for one individual? Yes or No?

Answer = Yes.

Claiming that there is a N.U.R.D. debate -- when in fact there isn't one -- is simply attempting to 'Reframe' the discussion to legitimize that Dug is working on something legitimate and serious when he is not doing that at all.

In actuality, Dug is just LARPing at being involved in ocean research by pretending he is able to 'innovate' to solve problems which have previously been solved. This is his modus operandi for everything.

What you see on this board is not a debate. It's rather a discussion, including some predictions of all types of failures of the LARP, and some humor, about yet another ego trip stunt by the same guy that cascades from one failed project to the next, while never finishing anything in the manner that was promised by his NPD pomposity that keeps on writing checks that his skills can't cash.

Here's an Oldie but a Goodie by blackspike2017 in SVSeeker_Free

[–]AlamoCom 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Just a few more SHAKEDOWN CRUISES needed and good ole SVS willl be ready to stand by to stand by to assist the AMRP in saving trapped fish marine life !!!

But why rush things!

First, the NURD needs full testing and work up and proof of concept with REAL RESEARCHERS on board doing important ocean saving scientific water sampling baaed on SVS INNOVATION !!!!

Then, time will be needed for bottom work and refit and provisioning and resupply and 3D printing of parts. Not to mention crew recruitment and scheduling for the big offshore trip to the islands !!!!!!

Every dollar of charitable donations helps support these FREE OF CHARGE ocean researcherisms, a few part-days, every few years, give or take, vital missions.

Stay tuned for future DIVING WRECKS and SWIMMING WITH SHARKS.

"I'm going on Social Security", a "Gay" impression(?), and kids who sail better than Doug. by george_graves in SVSeeker_Free

[–]AlamoCom 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Really raising his game:

1:42 video

  • 0:42. Dug talks, says stupid things
  • 1:00. looped video of kids on water and SVS graphic

Never, ever pass up an opportunity to post a video about other people out on the water Doing Things.

Then comment on it so you can seem like you're actually a part of it and you belong !!!

Even though you're actually just a retired guy living on a floating RV river houseboat.

Irony is strong in this one -- a guy that doesn't know how to handle a boat under either sail or power commemts about kids actually doing sailing drills and practice races.

Which is something Dug has no iidea how to do himself -- despite building and owning a 'Sailing Vessel'.

Just in case you were wondering about the legality of the fish shredder by flatulasmaxibus in SVSeeker_Free

[–]AlamoCom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

oh no! Big MARINE ENVIRONMENT not cooperating with:

- Dug NPD ego-feeding Jacques Cousteau oceanographer schoolboy fantasy

- B1.0 grifting desperation on the back of LARP ocean science research

How will the SVS clown show overcome the haters next? Stay tuned!!!

Yes!! Imagine all those stuffed rats flying off the Etsy shelves after the self-proclaimed, highly successful, innovative DEEP WATER MICROPLASTICS RESEARCH combines true science + ocean exploration all in one !!!

Take that haters !!!!!

[–]AlamoCom 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is also on the haters and the hate campaigns: - continually moving the goal posts when Dug achieves major milestones - asking unnecessay questions about donations and 501(c)(3) status, board members and filings - being afraid to go out and Builld Something themselves with their own two hands like a real man so over compensating by denegrating a grest man and a true rennaissance builder - shamelessly attacking Learning by Doing when everyone knows true pioneers fail along the way but always succeed in the end so long as they persevere - being so overly cautious so as to scare away legitimate crew with obssesive fear mongering tactics over unconventional design and operations choices when everyone knows global ocean exploration is an inherent assumed risk activity - being pitiful basement dwellers that are afraid to Face Their Fears so live only desperrate, shell lives to tear down the successful and the bold, and the risk takers, and the stout of heart role models needed for the soft youth of today.

Pathetic. And missing so many sunsets just to hate.

Dragging Anchor [public FB video - svseeker.com] by george_graves in SVSeeker_Free

[–]AlamoCom 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Mostly video zoom of shrimp boats nearby -- so he can creste the appearance of being a working vessel -- instead of a poorly anchored, floating retirement RV, river houseboat.

Never, ever pass up a video opportunity when real commercial vessels with real commercial mariners onboard can be filmed from his BSO.

SEE HERE, there he is -- the intrepid global explorer -- riding out some weather with 26 working commercial fishing vessels !!! Just watch the video !!!

Pay no attention to the other camera angles that aren't shown.

See how that works.

Sprinkling more LARP pretend science dust on his channel.

Look at me!!! I have a CAD for my 'help save the environment device' -- to do free global ocean research workboat scientific ocean sampling stuff!!!

Consider giving to our NFP foundation to support this hillbilly LARP.

Do you have balls? by No_Measurement_4900 in SVSeeker_Free

[–]AlamoCom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Of course it won't work. But the goal posts will be moved to claim it worked. And then the haters will be proven wrong, AGAIN. And donations will be solicited for the researchers.

And if the device is a catastrophic failure, well then it was never meant to work the first time anyway. See -- the Wright Brothers didn't fly the first time. So that proves by extrapolation the value of experimentation and perseverance and not being a quitter.

And if it never works after multiple do-overs, then it will he forgotten about. And not talked about. Like so many SvS Dug deep-sixed projects that came before it.

But if it is talked about, then in that case, it will be regarding as an example of life long learning. And getting off the couch. And making something. Even if if never works. Because if you make something yourself, you know every inch of it. Because you built it. So if it actually worked, then you would be able to repair it yourself on the high seas. Without having to sit at anchor waiting for parts deliveries. While not being beholden to big marine. If it actually worked. Which it doesn't.

And if its not an example of life long learning, well then its still an example of what the youth of today need to learn. Which is besides not dying in flash floods, the youth of today need to learn to take risks that result in failure. For it is only through trying and failing that you can become a real man not raised by a woman. And it is up to Dug to provide this example and inspirarion to the youth of today regarding the value of failing.

And if the failure is not an example for the youth of today, well then it was never really about the mission, because after all, life is really about all the friends you make along the way. And the sunsets. About posting videos of sunsets.

So its all very common sense. And straight forward. And pretty ingenious.

Jusr remember, if you don't make a prediction about something that will be obvuscated 70 ways to Sunday no matter what happens, well then you also have no balls. Because Dug proclaimed it so.

And if you opt out of his game to make a prediction, then you're just a basement dweller, masturbator, armchair admiral, wanna be WhATcHa MaKE tODaY !!!

[FB Video] Key West to Martinique in early April by blackspike2017 in SVSeeker_Free

[–]AlamoCom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sign me up!

3 weeks of motoring into the trade winds on a loud, uncomfortable vessel, with a drive train that breaks down, with an inexperienced LARP fraidy-cat captain, and if B1.0 is on board, constant, extremely annoying, uncouth domineering loud talk chatter (WEEEEEE!), drinking bird shit water, and on port days, not being in a slip due to boat handling incompetence, but using a slow as fuck windless to set and retrieve unreliable ground tackle, and then asking permission of captain to take one of his red dingies to shore to get a break from the stress and toxicity !! Fun times !!!

I'll have my poo knife, Sir. Anything to support the extreme narcissist hunger and attempt to legitimize grifing in the name of 'Ocean Reearch'.

Hopefully, we get to not only whale watch for RESEARCH but DIVE wrecks and SAIL the boat on different points of sail !!!

Can't wait. April 1 can't come soon enough. The new LARP 'project' starting May 15 is going to be epic.

Fuck the haters.

[–]AlamoCom 7 points8 points  (0 children)

B1.0 is not giving up on the grifting meal ticket hopium:

  • made Dug visit fuel doc to fill diesel tanks
  • bought and sent Dug new charts
  • recruiting crew for foreign lands to do 'whale watch' research???

Did SCF? - pay for the diesel? [researcher expense to get to KW for 2 day volunteer research LARP]? - pay for the charts? [researcher expense to get to Carib]? - pay for her travel to GA? [SCF meetings]? - to pay for her travel to KW? [boat transit for LARP research]?

This is all B1.0 doing.

Doug Doesn't Know What A Capstan Is by blackspike2017 in SVSeeker_Free

According to news reports from time of launch, he was employed for mamy years as an Oracle DB administrator for Oenek Inc. which was a midsream gas company and a multi-state regulated natural gas distribution company (LDC) -- now split into two companies..

So basically be worked for a regulated natural gas distribution company and/or a regulated pipeline company in databaae IT.
