annexation

Read a random definition: investment indebtedness

A quick definition of annexation:

Annexation is when a country, state, or city takes control of land that was not originally part of it. This is done through a formal process that involves raising a flag and making an announcement. Sometimes, the land being annexed is not connected to the rest of the area, and a narrow strip of land is used to connect the two. This is called cherry-stem annexation.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Annexation is the act of attaching or incorporating land within a nation, state, or municipality's dominion. It can also refer to the point at which a fixture becomes a part of the realty to which it is attached.

Examples:

When a city decides to annex a nearby area, it means that the city is incorporating that land into its boundaries.
If a homeowner installs a built-in bookshelf, it becomes a fixture and is annexed to the property.
Cherry-stem annexation is a type of annexation where the annexed land is not contiguous to the acquiring municipality, and a narrow corridor of annexed land leads to the targeted area. This type of annexation is called cherry-stem because the annexed territory resembles a cherry on a map, with the narrow corridor being the stem.

The examples illustrate how annexation can refer to both the incorporation of land into a larger entity and the attachment of fixtures to real property. Cherry-stem annexation is a specific type of annexation that involves a unique configuration of annexed land.

I don’t think the movie is responsible for the intelligence of the average viewer and I don’t think it needs to have an unambiguous moral message to be a good film

babycat

This is like those people who say that Lolita is ontologically evil because it’s from the perspective of the narrator. You need to be comfortable with ambiguity in life

babycat

15:12

The movie or book doesn’t have to tell you how to feel

well with lolita maybe some versions don't have it but at least in the original russian publication the foreword of the book is that this is a court transcript of his confession

jackfrost11770

15:13

so yeah it does tell you how to feel because it shows every description of her is completely untrue and warped

jackfrost11770

15:14

babycat

I think it can be ambiguous, but it should be something the viewer should be able to figure out. If not then what is the point. In terms of audience intelligence, I don't think the highest level of movie watchers would care for this movie. I think the opposite. The movie does not appeal to the highest level of movie watchers. It also doesn't appeal to like the lowest level either. It just tells a simple story that comes off as propoganda.

yeah you're right thank you

jackfrost11770

15:16

i agree dkk if we are talking about lolita

babycat

15:16

we’re talking about the movie perfect days by wim wenders

jackfrost11770

15:17

unfortunately it very much distills the actual novel which yeah i mean that is typical of any film ever so it's not profound of me to say that

Does the status date disappearing on GW mean something?

Ahh nah was talking about the Japanese movie. And I would say how people are comfortable with ambiguity can be completely different. I feel as if when I see ambiguity I just say whatever, but when others see it they obsess over it to the point they gain anxiety and it is not healthy. Engaging with ambiguity is not something that should be encouraged.

"Engaging with ambiguity is not something that should be encouraged" is a crazy ass thing for a future lawyer to say. Bro that's your job

Nah my job is to write good clean consise law that removes ambiguity. If I run into a case where things are too ambiguous for me, it is because I have not developed a strong enough theory to work within.
