Bounties are better than nothing

I make plenty of poker resolutions, but it's next to impossible to keep all of them. Here are two that have an excellent chance of remaining permanent:

1a. I will never play a strictly Omaha tournament again (note that this leaves me the option of playing 8-game tournaments, where two of the eight flavors are Omaha variants)

2a. I will never play a cash game again

Here are two that have no chance of remaining permanent:

1b. I will never play a rebuy tournament again

2b. I will never play a bounty tournament again

1b has no chance since as far as I can tell, PokerStars no longer offers tournaments without rebuys. 2b has no chance since I must play a minimum amount of poker every session, and if I haven't met my quota, I'll play any available tournament, regardless of whether it has bounties.
