We’re two days in!

Also doing strict paleo.

Question- is there a good app/program for total diet/exercise routines for home stuff? I have free weights and a knockoff Bowflex type machine. I'm not going to the gym. Everything I've done diet or exercise wise has been half-assed and intermittent, so I guess I'm ready to go full cultist in a program like P90X or some poo poo

edit- and I guess while I'm admitting my failures as an adult, how do I get weed in Alabama beyond making friends

Man, I've been sleeping on Marissa Tomei

She unfairly caught so much poo poo after her Oscar win. She ended up firmly in the middle of two giant Hollywood problems- rampant misogyny, and critical disdain for comedies. Then she ran afoul of Harvey Weinstein and lost what should have been the peak of her career in the 1990s.

How much would it suck for people to think so little of your Oscar win that a practically universal conspiracy theory comes about that it was a mistake that just never got corrected?

Warning- it is exciting and fun, but they are working dogs and very very very much not lovable puppy dog bundles of fur to cuddle. Be careful.

Yep, the last caller of the day one minute before phones cut off incoming calls, on a Friday afternoon before a federal holiday weekend, is asking a followup question on what someone else did. There were 3 people still logged in (out of 60).

Told him to call back Tuesday morning, and he had no idea Monday was a federal holiday. When the caller (a redneck on SSI) asked what holiday it was, I thought “oh poo poo buckle up”

I was not disappointed

I mean, for me 10m easily, but I also feel anyone who has kids and/or a wife is going to take that disproportionately than those who don't.

I'd go to age 6, easily make 10mil with the knowledge I had, and become my now and again wife's guardian angel by bumping her lovely sociopathic father and narcissistic junkie sister off in seeming accidents at different points in her life. (After the sister had her two girls, who are just the most amazing people on earth). Then I'd bump off the girls' molesty little trailer trash gently caress of a father, buy a bank and offer my mother-in-law a do-nothing job for lots of money so she didn't strangle my wife's college education for need of help, and start the love story over again.

Oh, yeah and this time I'd make sure she never got on a toboggan and save her a broken arm.

If Trump doesn't/can't run, I feel pretty confident the Republican candidate is going to be DeSantis. Anything can happen, but in a Donald Trump-free primary, he's going to go in as a prohibitive favorite.

I can only remember one primary in my voting adult life where the clear (non-incumbent) frontrunner years out actually got the nom.

92- Tsongas, 96- complicated (Powell, who didn’t run, then a very weak Dole had a hard fight), 00- McCain, 04- Dean, 08-Hillary, Giuliani, 12- Romney*, 16- no frontrunner (tossup Cruz/Trump)

I counted Gore ‘00 and Hillary ‘08 as incumbents because of continuity from the outgoing Administration; the GOP didn’t have anyone equivalent running in 2008.

Romney in 2012 was really the only one that largely cruised for years into a nom.

Do employee self evaluations typically mean anything? I rated myself 3/5 overall

I've never done one but I've thought about it, and vacillated between a basic "I don't do anything" Tyler Durden-style one and a "you should all be lucky to breathe my loving carbon dioxide" one.

It sucks that my immediate supervisor is a smart, capable, good manager with common sense who I'm on good terms with. It means I have to shelve all the fun games I played with his predecessor, that I helped get demoted.
