What’s y’all’s beef with cruises?

Anyone I know who has lived in a prominent cruise destination despised them. Obnoxious loud entitled tourists who get dropped off, clog the city, spend no money in the local economy and then disappear. We have an equal issue in rural Ireland with foreign tourists on bus tours from the cities, mainly Dublin. Anyone if you come here and want to see rural Ireland outside the main city you’re staying in please visit the places properly and come stay in the hotel, buy dinner in the restaurant, drink in the pub and invest in the local economy of the place you are invading.

What album do I start with?

For Nicholas Jaar? Ooooh man. His discography is very diverse and has several different aliases. I consider him, Kendrick and Grimes my holy trinity of modern music. And I'm someone that grew up on alt/indie/classic rock + underground hip hop.

I'd probably go in this order:
Nicolas Jaar: Space is Only Noise (his debut LP from 2011 captures his signature sound)
Darkside: Psychic (him + a jazz guitarist from 2013)
A.A.L. 2012-2017 (released in 2018-- his house music side)
Nicholas Jaar: Cenzias (2020) Lots of piano, very meditative
Nicholas Jaar: Sirens (2016)- A little bit of everything he does
A.A.L: 2017-2019 (2020)- Him doing techno

Also has its fans but is more ambient than my tastes usually lean:
Nicholas Jaar: Nymphs
Nicholas Jaar: Pomagrannets

Some more samples:

From Space is Only Noise until Ray Charles sued and it was yanked from future copies:


Darkside live:


A.A.L:


From Sirens:

Cruise Ship Pollution Is Causing Serious Health And Environmental Problems

The cruise industry transported over 26 million customers last year and was worth upwards of $117 billion in 2017. All market projections show that the industry will continue to grow as operators build new state-of-the-art ships, but there are growing concerns about pollution and emissions.

The wife and I took one on our honeymoon. We enjoyed it.

I've honestly never been on one. They don't intrigue me. I don't like being told what to do. And I feel like cruise ships tell you when you can go onto the island and when you must leave. I like to explore the hidden gems of where I'm visiting.

I bet with the right group of people, it would be fun.

But that time may have passed. Both for me and for the industry.

I heard something about this at work, but hadn't seen a lot of info on it. Didn't know if it had come from a reliable source.

But it's a thing that some of the epicenters are considering - it takes so many people to do a proper code there isn't enough to care for the other patients...when there are 13+ patients dying in a day that's about 1 every 2 hours.
