A 26-year study of couples found that when husbands are close to their wives' parents, risk of divorce significantly decreases.
But when wives are close to their husbands' parents, the risk of divorce increases.

@CathyYoung63 If you had concerns with importing people from third world countries how would you word it? Or are you telling me even the inclination to question this policy is beyond the pale?
The 'Miss Côte d'Ivoire' beauty pageant has banned wigs and weaves, requiring participants to embrace their natural hair, whether short, braided, or shaved.
The editors of the world's most prestigious medical journals are sounding the alarm, and nobody is listening.
"We have peer reviewed, high impact editors in most of the journals that are the most high impact, saying that they don't believe what is being published in those journals is trustworthy anymore."
"The BMJ, The Lancet, all of those editors have come out and said, we have a huge problem. We can't replicate this research and we actually don't even know who did the research."
"Everywhere we've looked for corruption, we've found it."

#VPDNews: VPD have arrested four individuals suspected of operating a coordinated distraction theft operation across the Lower Mainland.
The incident began on Wednesday at approximately 1:46 p.m., when an elderly man was approached in the rear alley of his residence near East 20th Avenue and Windermere Street by a grey Hyundai Kona with two men and two women inside. While the victim was distracted by the male driver, a female passenger exited the vehicle, targeted the victim, and swapped his genuine gold necklace with a counterfeit replica. The suspects fled the scene before the victim discovered the theft.
At 2:17 p.m., while VPD officers were actively investigating, a second incident involving the same vehicle type was reported by West Vancouver Police near the Ambleside neighbourhood. Investigating West Van Police officers obtained the vehicle's license plate information and broadcasted a regional alert to all neighbouring law enforcement agencies.
Just before 3:00 p.m., proactive VPD officers and Canine Units patrolling Highway 1 intercepted the grey Hyundai Kona and initiated a traffic stop just east of the Brunette Avenue exit. All four suspects inside the vehicle were arrested without incident. Investigators believe the group is responsible for both the East 20th Avenue theft and the West Vancouver incident. The VPD also responded to another distraction theft near Waverley and Nanaimo Street earlier the same day. The suspects fled before police arrived, and investigators are working to determine if they are connected to the earlier arrests.
The investigation remains ongoing. Two suspects have been released with conditions and the other two were transferred over to WVPD custody. Police encourage anyone with information, or who may have fallen victim to similar distraction tactics, to contact the Vancouver Police Department.
‼️WOW -
Carney and Eby are now implying they're pulling a fast one on developers with their $1.45 billion bailout
"this is not what developers want" ... "its a distress sale"
"oh no, please dont give us $1.4B on terms we accept" -No developer ever.😂😂
How do luxury beliefs spread to the general public?
Imagine that tomorrow, the people who shape culture decide that littering is no longer a big deal.
The opinion pages of major newspapers start running essays arguing that concerns about litter are overblown. Glossy magazines publish longform pieces suggesting that cleanliness norms are socially constructed, maybe even a little oppressive. The hot new series on your favorite streaming platform depicts attractive and interesting characters tossing trash on the ground without a second thought.
Academics, journalists, politicians, CEOs, and influencers all start saying some version of the same thing: littering is not a serious issue. And if you criticize someone for doing it, you are the problem. You are being judgmental. You are enforcing outdated norms. You need to let people live.
Perhaps some new legislation is passed that decriminalizes littering.
Over time the message becomes clear. Throwing trash wherever you want is acceptable. It is normalized. It is actively defended.
Now let me ask you something.
Would anyone be surprised, 5 or 10 years later, if garbage started piling up? Would anyone be surprised if that problem was not evenly distributed?
If it showed up most in lower-income neighborhoods while affluent areas remained relatively pristine?
That’s the pattern. The people who promote the luxury belief are insulated from its consequences.
NYC had a nuclear power plant 36 miles away called Indian Point.
It supplied carbon-free safe power that would mean no one would need to turn up their thermostats.
But it was closed in 2021 by the degrowth Death Cult. Now NYC relies on fossil fuels for 90% of its power 🫠
The hysteria over the unsurprising resent decisions of the Roberts Court shines a light on the real problem facing America today. Of the three branches of government, we currently have an activist Judiciary, a powerful Executive, but a flat tire when it comes to the Legislative branch.
Birthright citizenship, for example, was not expected to be overturned by the Supreme Court. Congress could easily establish common sense legislation that would define more clearly the original purpose and boundaries intended by the 14th Amendment. That would, however, require John Thune to act like an American statesman rather than a RINO hack, so there is, as usual, no hope.
As long as the pansy-ass Republicans mince around the halls of Congress, we are doomed.
