I ran out of weed in March and just stopped using it. If anyone would have been addicted it would have been me, but I just stopped and nothing happened except for getting extremely vivid dreams. It's been 10 weeks and I'm doing just fine. But I'm going to Washington in June so we'll see how long my willpower lasts.

quote:No ‘Prairie Home Companion’ at Sea, and So Far, No Refund, Either Buckle up folks. quote:When reservations for this year’s cruise with Garrison Keillor, the former public radio host, went on sale last May, Mr. Keillor’s loyal listeners rushed to claim passage. Cabins sold out in 23 hours. quote:In the wake of the pandemic, would-be passengers who booked directly through Carnival’s nine cruise lines have been able to choose between a refund and rebooking with 125 percent credit, said Roger Frizzell, a company spokesman. But the refund process for those who booked through charters, like Mr. Keillor’s Prairie Home Cruises, LLC, is more complicated. The charter, which essentially rented the boat from Holland America, had already spent much of the money the cruisers prepaid. This reads like an Onion article. quote:“There is a lot of red tape,” said Elissa Wolfson, who had spent $4,947 for reservations for herself and her daughter on Mr. Keillor’s cruise, and now wants her money back. For weeks she has gone back and forth with employees of Prairie Home Cruises. “It’s not only Holland America, it’s Prairie Home — and lawyers. Big ifs here,” she said. quote:On 11 cruises since 2005, what Mr. Keillor calls his “floating small town” had traveled to Scandinavia, the Mediterranean and the Canadian Maritime, among other locations. Such rich cultural tastes. quote:As with the previous cruises, this year’s was centered on performing arts. The ship was set to stop at ports in Jamaica and Cayman Islands, before turning back up through Cozumel, Mexico, and Key West, Fla. With 45 musicians aboard, time at sea promised performances of jazz, reggae and honky-tonk piano, as well as nightly shows with music and stories — sometimes in the stylings of “A Prairie Home Companion” — by Mr. Keillor. quote:When passengers eventually receive a refund from Prairie Home Cruises, it will not be the full amount they laid out, Ms. Gustafson said. quote:Ms. Wolfson said she finds the whole process “rife with bureaucracies” and told the charter company in an email that: “Waiting until June for an unspecified partial refund seems callous, unprofessional, and unacceptable.” You chose to waste $5,000 on this. quote:David Bartlow, 77, of Richmond, Va., sailed on all 11 Prairie Home cruises and dates his introduction to Mr. Keillor to his show’s debut during Watergate. He was signed up for the March cruise with his wife, and said the cancellation was “kind of devastating.” quote:Without another cruise on the itinerary, the company has considered other ways to get together “on land or sea, whenever the pandemic lets up,” Mr. Keillor said. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/05/18/...§ion=Travel

I've always had an irrational hatred for Garrison Keillor's voice. It was like Tom Brokaw meets Mitch Mcconnell before I even knew I would hate his voice too when the sex pest poo poo came out I was like "yup"

I'd heard of the JoCo cruise from some of the McElroy podcasts. Never bothered to look it up but it sounds like every sci-fi/anime con in existence except way longer and you can't escape. I bet if the ship ever sinks it'll leave a bigger oil slick than the Exxon Valdeez.

Why do people who get caught inappropriately using government funds always spend it on the worst things? - The "Downtown Abbey" office. - Plane tickets for their pet rabbits. - $1,302 worth of DLC and skins on Steam. - Expensive haircuts. And now, more than $200,000 on a full-time harpist, $190 pens, "goody bags," $45 cocktails, and $17 spiral notebooks. quote:Pompeo's elite taxpayer-funded dinners raise new concerns quote:Secretary of State Mike Pompeo regularly held taxpayer-funded, 500-guest formal dinners — and President Trump reportedly knew nothing about them. quote:Just 14 percent of attendees were actually involved in foreign policy. quote:State Department spokeswoman Morgan Ortagus acknowledged that, "The CEO of Chick-fil-A is not someone I would say is involved in foreign policy directly," but said the dinners are "a world-class opportunity to discuss the mission of the State Department and the complex foreign policy matters facing our exceptional nation. Each guest has a stake in America and its leadership in the world." quote:Guests to the "Diplomatic Advisory Meeting" included Reba McEntire, Dale Earnhardt Jr., Dr. Larry Beamer, a surgeon in Wichita, Kansas, historian Niall Ferguson; and Fox News host Brian Kilmeade. quote:Other invitees included Supreme Court Justices Samuel Alito and Neil Gorsuch, Fox News host Laura Ingraham, American Conservative Union head Matt Schlapp and his wife Mercedes, GOP operative Karl Rove, and anti-abortion lobbyist Marjorie Dannenfelser of the Susan B. Anthony List. Various corporate executives, such as Raytheon CEO Thomas Kennedy and AOL co-founder Steve Case, were also invited. quote:The dinners were paid for out of the State Department's Emergencies in the Diplomatic and Consular Service Appropriation, known as the "K Fund," which can be used for "confidential requirements in the conduct of foreign affairs as well as other authorized activities that further the realization of U.S. foreign policy objectives," according to the State Department's website. People, if you're going to misappropriate funds, then get a jet ski or a night in Vegas with hookers and blow. Also, if I am a billionaire CEO or millionaire TV personality/Supreme Court Justice/Lobbyist, then would I really give a poo poo that you are giving me an insanely over-priced pen and spiral notebook?

That nerd boat sounds like hell. By day three the stench must be unbearable. And hearing people shout "the cake is a lie" unironically for a week would be maddening. But definitely GWM on Coulton's part. The Z-list celebrities he's inviting on aren't going to be cutting too deep into the profits and the type of person who goes on a cruise celebrating 2007 Video Game Music Man is going to snap up every bit of merch you put in front of them.

True, the crime is usually possession, not "got high before". But with this guy's attitude I'm pretty sure if his PO asked him to empty his pockets after he failed his UA that he'd get hit with possession.
