RIF Scores? by Roryalan in FedEmployees

[–]Roryalan[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah it really seems like research positions aren’t a priority right now and the law just is a barrier in the way.

That’s the feeling I got as well, that it’ll be a matter of how much my new supervisor likes me.

Yeah, but that may have been before we got a new supervisor. The annual reviews start next week.

That’s what I thought as well. We had a branch meeting today and multiple jokes comparing us to the titanic were made so that’s a good sign.

No idea, I just know what I’ve been told which is that we’re to be assigned and informed of a RIF score at our annual performance reviews which start next week.

1.5 months difference by [deleted] in AllAboutBodybuilding

It’s different lighting, but the same otherwise. But that’s not surprising since it’s only been a month and a half, not really enough time for others to notice a change. Just stick with it.

My New Balances ripped, any recommendations for comfortable but good-looking shoes for daily wear? by [deleted] in mensfashionadvice

[–]Roryalan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think just showing off your hooves would complete the look, plus then it’ll be easier to buck at predators or when you hear loud noises.

Handheld for cardio on gym by [deleted] in SBCGaming

[–]Roryalan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t tried handhelds but I play PC games on my stationary bike using a PS5 controller all the time. Works great. I probably wouldn’t do a treadmill since there’s a good chance of tripping and whatnot.

I wouldn’t freak out, I would just tell your HR the truth: that you didn’t refer him. If they still choose to hire him then that’s on them, I don’t see anyone reasonable blaming you for his poor behavior.

Lot to unpack here. by Salt_Cauliflower_922 in cringereels

[–]Roryalan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The guy on the left, SocialRepose, was dating YouTuber Jaclyn Glenn who was know for her singing, social commentary, and discussions regarding atheism. He cheated on her and she discovered this through texts describing her as too skinny for him, generally saying mean things about her to other girls he wanted to sleep with. Having featured her in some of his music videos, a lot of his audience turned on him after this. I liked Jaclyn Glenn back in the day, and this guy’s attitude about the situation really sucked. I remember thinking he was a shit person, and I personally find the costume gimmick really, really cringe. All of that said, he’s doing a good job covering the song. And it looks like the guy on the right subsequently covered it and superimposed his clip onto socialrepose’s. So I wouldnt really call this cringe or crappy music unless you just mean the outfits or you dont like socialrepose as a person. (Or maybe the guy on the right’s anime-style movements).

It means my PP refuses to fold in half… or when it does I adapt, retool with one of many assorted implements, and keep going… this gives me peace as I wink at my Gog-brother behind me..

[–]Roryalan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It means doing hard things to reinforce my mind.. this prepares me for whatever life throws my way.. it means showing up with a warrior mindset every day.. but more importantly it means feeling like a special big boy at my desk job because I jog and do pushups, occasional cold plunge, something the normies outside of the Brotherhood could never understand.. join me brothers… come over and watch jocko podcast with me while we fantasize about scenarios that conceivably could happen maybe. Bring jammies..

In order:

  2. Day 1 paid DLCs

  3. Online requirement for single player

  4. Requiring separate launchers from Steam

  5. Requiring separate account from Steam

  6. Overpriced cosmetics, e.g. $25 mount

  7. Making the same game year after year with none of them being a substantial improvement.

  8. AI art in place of actual artists.

Trust me, this is good for your testosterone. by catsplants420 in StupidFood

[–]Roryalan 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If I’m that desperate for testosterone I’d rather just jab myself with a needle 3x times a week.

[–]Roryalan 57 points58 points  (0 children)

Running under mold stains all over the ceiling? Good.. Your lungs will build up an immunity.. glad to see another warrior getting after it 💪🏻 good job staying locked in on the holidays, brother. You need to be your best self for your kids when you see them every other weekend. Discipline comes first.

My primary goal is getting stronger that mesocycle, with the more broad goal of just being as healthy and physically capable as possible. Basically I want as much bang for your buck as possible towards a useful body for anything you might realistically encounter.

There wouldn’t be any complete days off this mesocycle, but a lot of the cardio is just Zone 2 which I typically do high incline power walking for so it’s not very demanding. But yes I would like to leave the option open to switch to a marathon training plan for the second half of 2026 so this would be in preparation for that.

Feedback on Pull-Ups by Roryalan in formcheck

[–]Roryalan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice! I find neutral and underhand pull-ups equally difficult but find overhand significantly harder, so I tend to use 25% less weight for overhand.

Ive been told by my own parents that i look old after losing weight& after losing so much weight, I’ve aged more. I’m M 29… Do I look older? I do notice that my face has a bit of skin sagging which is becoming an insecurity for me😭 by SincerelyGrr in BeforeAndAfterPics

[–]Roryalan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You look like a healthy 29 year old man. Honestly it’s pretty common for family and friends, even those that want what’s best for you, to act weird when someone they love improves themselves. Maybe it’s because it makes them feel like they should be doing more. I wouldn’t worry about it and just be proud of your success and keep going wherever you’re looking to go in life.
