Yes, most of us do in Utah. However Russ moved to Las Vegas right around Christmas time.
Nevada's a "fun" place right now with its Shaolin Shakes response. The state government is firmly controlled by democrats, and so is Clark county (where Las Vegas lives), but they're surrounded on all sides by
very red counties. There is vicious disagreement on how (and when) to reopen the state properly and lift all the restrictions.
Team blue naturally wants to keep everything locked down tight. The casinos, who have more money than god and wield untold political power in the state, leaned
really hard on the governor to allow them to reopen. The Nevada Gaming Commission (which regulates all the casinos in the state and has essentially unlimited and unchecked authority over them) begrudgingly agreed to allow casinos to reopen, but sided with the governor's Wu Flu paranoia by requiring casinos to practice social distancing and face masks for all patrons, employees and contractors. Gaming will literally shut down a casino indefinitely for failing to enforce that.
The governor has started to relent in recent weeks about keeping the state under restrictions and supposedly things are going to loosen up in May. But despite that, at least one county commissioner (I think Nye county -- home of the two legal brothels closest to Las Vegas) has publicly stated he's going to keep his county locked down as much as possible. In response, casinos there started banning him for life from their properties.
It's hilarious to watch from a distance, but I feel really sorry for the regular people stuck in that political quagmire.
No true creep would be deterred by a wedding ring.
Ironically, I found that women were all of a sudden very interested once I got married and was wearing a wedding ring. I guess a guy being taken means he must be worth something, at least to a certain set of women. I even had an old friend of my wifes outright offer an affair, just to fuck with my wife and try to take something she had.
Some people just suck, period.
Being married means you're "safer" -- stable home life, stable finances, and you've been vetted by someone well enough that they deemed you worthy of marriage. You're probably not a psychopath, violent or otherwise dangerous. You're likely to be healthier, especially if you're raising a family. You're far less likely to be carrying an STI, and if you're a woman you're very likely to be on birth control unless you're actively trying to conceive with your spouse. Both of those factors mean raw-dogging is on the table and is a much safer prospect than with some random one night stand.
Because you're married, you're also (presumably) highly motivated to be very discreet about any extramarital relationship because the cost of being caught can be extremely high. If the person you're cheating with is also cheating on
their spouse with you, it's in your mutual interest to be extremely careful to avoid getting caught, so discretion is assured. It also makes you vulnerable to manipulation and blackmail (e.g. "if you stop seeing me/stop giving me money/stop buying me things, I'll tell your wife all about us").
It's sadly very common for married people to cheat on their spouse with someone else who's also married. I'd go as far as to say more extramarital affairs involve two people who are both married (not to each other, of course) than they involve one married person fooling around with someone who's single.
Of course there are also plenty of singles who actively seek out married men or women to fool around with because of these same considerations. They're scumbags for trying to hook up with someone who's married, but doing so is practically a zero-risk proposition for them. Even if they get caught, there's usually no repercussions for the lover (apart from maybe a heated argument and some name-calling) -- the cheater suffers the real consequences, while the lover can just vanish into the ether.
As someone who's never cheated but has been cheated on by two ex-wives, you're a fucking asshole if you cheat on your monogamous partner, and you're a fucking asshole if you fool around with someone who's married to someone else.
And if you find out your partner has been cheating on you, end the relationship immediately. No second chances. They'll just do it again since they know you'll forgive them when they get caught and even if they don't, you'll never fully trust them again. The relationship is fatally damaged because that intimate trust is gone and can never be restored. It hurts to lose a long-term relationship to infidelity, but forgiving a cheater and finding out they're still cheating hurts even more. I speak from experience.
There’s no storyline to the clip that matches anywhere near the song, this albino running around Pripyat having convulsions occasionally doesn’t inspire much body confidence. Also, the blurred guy walking away in the orchard near the end, did he just bury her? It looks like a clip they’d use in a murder documentary when speculating where the killer dumped the body...
