"not even trying to get a date"
No you probably gave your number to them and told them when your husband isn't gonna be at home.
"isn't gonna be at home" = "will be in the cuck closet"
If you are pushing 40 and still live your parents, you need to just neck. There's no hope for you.
I'd caveat this: If you are pushing 40 and you HAVE to live with your parents, you need to just neck.
If you
choose to live with your parents - that is, have your life together, have self-sufficient income, have the life skills to live on your own, such that your are basically roommates with your parents, that's fine. Save money for a house, help keep an eye on mom and dad, even divorced parent and you want someone to be able to help with the kids during the day. I don't see anything wrong with that.
However a there are a bunch of non-functional failure to launches. And if you aren't able to leave the nest by 40 its time to visit Canada for some MAID.
The current economy is trash and rent is insane. I do not blame anyone for moving back in with their parents or parents moving in with their children to save money.
But anyway, this wasn't my point. My point was, Ellen is complaining about something that isn't even a real issue. Your average Western parent isn't giving their kid the boot the moment they turn 18 or expecting them to pay rent. That's one of the many myths redditors keep repeating.
Agreed.
Many redditors act like this is a huge problem because they are the ones being expected by their parents to get a job instead of sitting around banning wrongthink on Reddit all day because they "don't have the spoons" to do adult work.
There is nothing wrong with multi day fasting, lots of people do it without issue. In fact, it's popular in Islam to fast... is Ellen calling Islam dangerous?
The multi-day thing would concern me a bit depending on who's doing it. And too much fasting can do bad things to your metabolism especially if you keep it up for weeks or months. Like a fatty-fat trying to lose weight with not more than moderate exercise that schedule is fine until they hit a reasonable BMI, but even your average 40 year old skinny-fat like Ellen I would be concerned.
But intermittent fasting, anything less than 36 hours (16 hour overnight fasting, or no-cheat days) is completely fine and your body is well adapted to deal with a lack calories for that long without making drastic changes. Intermittent fasting can also help counter/prevent/delay the 'Betes by keeping your body from going into insulin desensitivity.
I usually do a 24 hourish saturday to sunday fast (no religious reason, just I am often out drinking on Saturday so that's not a good combo with fasting) and try to not eat overnight but work schedule & insomnia makes that difficult.
Islam is also day-time fasting, you can eat once the sun goes down.
Vegas used to be pushed a lot out here as the vacation destination. It's also cheaper to fly there than to fly across Canada.
It still is.
But more to the discussion, Vegas used to be THE place for quiet marriages.
Back in the old day, they woudn't just give a marriage license to anyone (remember the Kentucky Clerk shitting on fags?) and Nevada was one of the few states the basically said "We will issue a marriage to anyone who shows up and is legally able to marry (of age, not already married)". Add to this legalized gambling and you have a bunch of low-impulse control people together in an area designed to jack up emotional highs, and Vegas was the wedding capital of the world in the 60s and 70s. the Elvis thing was because of Elvis' residency.
One of the reasons this scheme started was to low-key legalize prostitution - until they managed to officially legalize prostitution. They still do this in Muslim countries, principally Iran, where you find your whore, "get married", fuck, and then anull - you have not fornicated nor engaged a prostitute as you'd just pay a "wedding fee".
