ferry

Read a random definition: comparative negligence

A quick definition of ferry:

A ferry is a type of boat or vessel that is used to transport people or things across water. It usually travels between fixed points and covers short distances. The act of transporting people or things across water for a fee is also called ferrying. The place where a ferry crosses the water, including the roads on both sides, is also called a ferry. The government can give a special permission, called a ferry franchise, to a company to operate a ferry service exclusively.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A ferry is a boat or vessel that is used to transport people or goods across water, usually over short distances and with fixed terminals. It can also refer to the commercial transportation of people or goods across water, as well as the place where the ferry crosses the water and the continuation of the highway on both sides of the water. Additionally, a ferry franchise is the right, often exclusive, given by the government to charge a fee for carrying people or goods across water.

  • My family took a ferry across the English Channel to get from England to France.
  • The ferry from Seattle to Bainbridge Island is a popular mode of transportation for commuters.
  • The ferry terminal in San Francisco is located at the end of Market Street.
  • The government granted a ferry franchise to a local company, allowing them to charge a fee for transporting people and goods across the river.

These examples illustrate the different aspects of the definition of a ferry. The first example shows how a ferry is used to transport people across water over a long distance. The second example demonstrates how a ferry can be used for daily commuting over a shorter distance. The third example highlights the location of the ferry terminal, which is an important part of the ferry system. The fourth example shows how a ferry franchise is a government-granted right to charge a fee for ferry transportation.

@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.

@Rightfullytherlauren: If the person is clean or has a good vibe I will do it the first date
15:06
Yeah sorry I can't answer that Lauren, I don't sleep with anyone if I'm not already dating them

@Rightfullytherlauren: This is like a stupid thing that only really hot guys and women have to think about. I have never had to think about this before. No answer.

@bigroger100: No idea. Probably when they released last year unless they were supposed to release already.

@Rightfullytherlauren: I am apparently a hot guy or just a slut cause I have had this before. If it is a FWB then you gotta follow the rules on that like wrapping your tool and such but if it is a casual fuck/bootie call they do not need to know if you are trying to find love and what you are doing when you are busy

You just have to be smart and accept your choices, I know some people will believe a casual hook up or FWB is a regular exclusive thing. Communication is key if you are playing it that way but it is very dangerous to have multiple partners at the same time in a non-exclusive way
babycat
15:09
Yeah you should make it clear to them it's not exclusive

I have been on the receiving/hurt end thinking it was exclusive when I was just her human dildo and it makes you feel bad.

Aw poor Bulbasaur

In all of these situations described, the point of failure happened way before the emotional reality set in.
babycat

I'm like extremely monogamous at heart
babycat
15:12
I'm never dating or fucking more than one person at a time
babycat
15:12
But one time this guy I'd been dating for a little bit had a tinder notification come up on his phone and I flipped my shit lol

1a2b3c4d26z
15:12

babycat
15:13

My wife and I date girls together but we don't fuck unless it is going to be exclusive but having hot chick friends you can flirt with is great.
babycat
15:13

babycat
15:14

Dkk
15:14
