A quick definition of Act of Settlement:

The Act of Settlement was a law passed by the British government in 1701. It decided who could become the king or queen of England after the Glorious Revolution in 1688. The law said that only a Protestant member of the House of Hanover could be the monarch. It also said that the monarch had to be a member of the Church of England. The law also changed how judges were chosen, so they would keep their jobs as long as they did a good job, instead of being chosen by the monarch.

A more thorough explanation:

The Act of Settlement is a law passed by the British Parliament in 1701. It was created to solve the problem of who would become the next king or queen of England after the Glorious Revolution of 1688.

The Act of Settlement stated that only Protestant members of the House of Hanover could become king or queen. It also required that the monarch be a member of the Church of England. This law helped to ensure that the English monarchy would remain Protestant and that the Church of England would remain the official religion of the country.

In addition, the Act of Settlement established that judges would hold office during good behavior, rather than at the will of the monarch. This helped to ensure that the judiciary would be independent and impartial.

For example, if a Catholic member of the royal family were to become next in line for the throne, they would be skipped over in favor of a Protestant member of the House of Hanover. This law helped to prevent a Catholic monarch from taking the throne and potentially changing the official religion of England.

Feeling like sad drinking tonight, wife accidentally tossed out my truck keys and those are expensive as fuck to replace. The crappiest part is that the key chain had the "remove before flight" tab from my first aircraft's rocket pods overseas from 6 years ago. Then find out people fucked around and back dated reports at work making me look like a shit bag so I am working later tonight and missing range time which is my weekly relax/me time. Add in my sleep meds stopped working, so I am thinking vodka (so I stay skinny and hot) and pizza by the fireplace kind of friday.

babycat
14:57

babycat
14:59

babycat
14:59

babycat
15:00
but I don’t use dating apps so all my first dates are with people I’ve already met in some context, which it sounds like is your situation too
Dkk
15:00
I could never imagine myself doing that on a first date.
Dkk
15:01
@BulbasaurNoLikeCardio: hope things get better
babycat
15:01
@Dkk: what if it’s someone you’ve known for a long time but never dated?
Dkk
15:03
Maybe but things would have to go like perfectly. I could not imagine them going perfectly.
15:04
Sleeping on the first date just isn't my style, idk. I take things painfully slowly and much prefer to befriend and really get to know a girl first before doing any of that
Ok another question, what do u tell the ppl u sleeping with already that ur going on dates
Dkk
15:05
The bigger issue is if I sleep with them will I have the emotional connection to finish cus it is harder for me to finish if I do not know the person.
