That’s the theory posited by Miranda in Sex and the City, who explained her now-infamous thesis in an episode of season three: “It’s not fate, his light is on, that’s all”, she explains to Charlotte, who is convinced her relationship with Trey was written in the stars. “Men are like cabs; when they’re available, their light goes on,” Miranda continues. “They wake up one day, and they decide they’re ready to settle down, have babies, whatever, then they turn their light on.” The idea is then that whoever that man happens to meet next will wind up becoming his wife. It sounds simple, …

Allow Euthanasia for the Mentally Ill or They Will Commit Suicide

Allow Euthanasia for the Mentally Ill or They Will Commit Suicide

Wesley J. Smith April 10, 2026 2 Ethics The result will be more mentally ill Canadians dying by suicide. Wesley J. Smith April 10, 2026 2 Ethics This republished article first appeared in the National Review. A Canadian activist has argued that the mentally ill must have access to euthanasia to prevent their committing suicide. From the National Post story: A leading MAID advocate argued to parliamentarians last month that Canada must legalize assisted suicide for the mentally ill, lest those same patients commit suicide. The statement was made at a March 24 parliamentary committee debating the legalization of MAID for Canadians whose “sole underlying medical condition is a mental illness.” Jocelyn Downie, a leading MAID activist since 2004, warned that if the federal government keeps excluding mentally ill Canadians from accessing assisted suicide, the result will be more mentally ill Canadians dying by suicide. The idea here is that a “suicide” will be potentially messier and/or perhaps less successful than a doctor or nurse administering a lethal jab. Or that a person will take his own life …

Foreigners Commit Nearly Half Of All Rapes In Austria, Syrians Largest Foreign Group Of Suspects

Foreigners Commit Nearly Half Of All Rapes In Austria, Syrians Largest Foreign Group Of Suspects

Published by Jenni Sidey

Via Remix News, The number of rape suspects in Austria has more than doubled since 2015, with foreign nationals — and Syrians in particular — driving a disproportionate share of the increase. In addition, foreigners nare now responsible for nearly half of all rapes, a major increase from 2015 as well. The figures, provided by Austria’s Interior Ministry in response to a request by Austrian newspaper exxpress, paint a striking picture of a decade-long trend. The composition of those suspects has shifted markedly. In 2015, 250 of the 688 suspects were foreign nationals — 36.3 percent of the total. By 2025, that number had risen to 538, representing 46.9 percent of all suspects, despite foreign nationals making up only 20.5 percent of Austria’s population. Reported rapes under section 201 of the Austrian criminal code rose from 826 cases in 2015 to 1,359 in 2024 — an increase of roughly 64.5 percent. The number of suspects rose in parallel, from 688 to 1,196. Preliminary figures for 2025 show a slight decline to 1,147 suspects, but that still …

Why Creative People Struggle to Commit to One Path

Why Creative People Struggle to Commit to One Path

Published by Jenni Sidey

Many people seem to move through life with a clear, singular trajectory. They have one career, which is often a big part of their identity. But many of us don’t. We are pulled in multiple directions, drawn to different fields, ideas, and ways of living. We start things. Pivot. Reimagine. Expand. And from the outside, this can look like a lack of focus. But what if it’s something else entirely? Struggling to commit to one path isn’t necessarily a failure of discipline. It might reflect a cognitive style rooted in flexibility, integration, and creative potential. The Mislabeling of Creative Breadth We live in a society that rewards specialization. From the time we are young, we’re asked what we want to be when we grow up. Explicitly or not, we’re told to “pick a lane.” Often, multipotentiality is framed as distraction or avoidance. Are you really serious about law school if you’re playing in a soccer league every weekend? Are you truly dedicated to your art if you choose to pursue a STEM career alongside it? …

Men Who Can’t Commit Often Share These 4 Deep-Rooted Issues That Have Nothing To Do With You

Men Who Can’t Commit Often Share These 4 Deep-Rooted Issues That Have Nothing To Do With You

Published by Jenni Sidey

Why does it seem like so many men have some deep-rooted issues keeping them scared of commitment? If this feels familiar, don’t worry, it has nothing to do with you: One study showed men who felt they fell short of traditional relationship norms were more likely to compensate through aggressive and dominant behaviors, which could potentially translate to avoiding commitment, which is often viewed as a vulnerable and emotionally open act.  That’s because many men need to have specific things aligned and organized within their own lives to feel fully open to a woman and able to choose her, no matter how good a fit she may be for him. Not all men are necessarily able to see these issues at work within themselves. But with your awareness, you might be able to see through confusing situations and more easily recognize the truth of the matter, to tell whether a man is truly ready to commit, or not. Men who can’t commit often share these 4 deep-rooted issues that have nothing to do with you: …

I’m panicking about my new relationship. After my husband’s affair, how can I commit again? | Australian lifestyle

I’m panicking about my new relationship. After my husband’s affair, how can I commit again? | Australian lifestyle

Published by Sam Flores

I was in a relationship for 26 years, married for 17, and my husband had an affair. It was hidden, long term and denied until discovery. I divorced him but that was delayed and I had to live with him for a further two years. I spent a year alone in my new house with my now adult sons. Now I am a little over a year into a new relationship and suddenly panicking about it. I’m scared to go forward. I’m not sure I can commit to long term again, and if I see him looking at other women (we work together in a predominantly female workplace), I panic! I’m older than him by nine years and I feel like I want to end things to prevent getting hurt. But then I feel I’m being cowardly. How can I stop going down this road in my head? Eleanor says: On behalf of everyone everywhere, let me say: what a schmuck thing for your husband to do. That is such a big betrayal. And the …

SCAM Act Introduced To Revoke Citizenship Of Migrants Who Commit Fraud, Serious Felonies

SCAM Act Introduced To Revoke Citizenship Of Migrants Who Commit Fraud, Serious Felonies

Published by Jenni Sidey

Via American Greatness, Sen. Eric Schmitt (R-MO) has introduced the Stop Citizenship Abuse and Misrepresentation (SCAM) Act that would strip citizenship from individuals who commit serious crimes within 10 years of their naturalization. According to Schmitt, the legislation would expand the grounds for beginning the denaturalization process to include welfare fraud, aggravated felonies and joining a terrorist organization, including gangs and cartels. Fox New reports that the SCAM Act would create a 10-year window, post-naturalization, which would lower the threshold for federal authorities to strike an individual’s citizenship and to begin deportation proceedings. 🚨 BREAKING: Sen.

5 Rare Traits Of People Who Don’t Commit To One Job

5 Rare Traits Of People Who Don’t Commit To One Job

Published by Jenni Sidey

We all know someone who’s constantly bouncing around jobs, or maybe we’re that person ourselves. While this is often looked down on, people who have non-linear career paths actually have some unique traits and skill sets compared to those who stick with the same job forever. The traditional route of career success is to go to school, get a degree, land a job, and climb the corporate ladder from there, but what if this is no longer the ideal? The real value may lie in non-linear career paths, a flexible professional journey that may include industry changes and varied roles throughout a worker’s life.  Here are 5 rare traits of people who don’t commit to one job for their entire life: 1. Curiosity-driven fizkes | Shutterstock People enjoy switching jobs not because they lack discipline, but because their motivation works a bit differently. They have a desire to learn, solve new problems, and navigate unfamiliar environments. Once a role feels comfortable and predictable, the enjoyment fades. Their attention is naturally pulled towards the next new …

A moment that changed me: my client was accused of a crime he didn’t commit – and it led me to confront my past | Health & wellbeing

I spent nearly 20 years working as a criminal defence lawyer in the remote communities of the Canadian Arctic. Nunavut – roughly the size of western Europe – is home to fewer than 40,000 people, most of whom are Inuit. The brief summers boast endless days, while polar night descends over long winters where temperatures occasionally drop as low as -50C. Despite the lack of urban centres and a small, homogenous population, the territory records one of the highest violent-crime rates per capita in the world. There are no roads connecting Nunavut’s 26 communities. Aircraft is the only option, except for a brief ice-free window in late summer when supplies and fuel can be delivered by boat. Several times a year, the justice system arrives: a travelling circuit court sets up a temporary courtroom in local gymnasiums or community halls for three to four days. I handled many tragic and strange cases over the course of two decades, but one stands out. Early in my career, I represented a young Inuit man charged with firing …
