A quick definition of ignorantia facti excusat:

Term: IGNORANTIA FACTI EXCUSAT

Definition: Ignorance of fact is an excuse. This means that if someone does something wrong because they didn't know all the facts, they might not be punished for it. However, this doesn't apply if the person should have known better or if they made the same mistake twice. For example, if someone accidentally takes something from a store because they thought it was free, they might not be punished if they return it once they realize their mistake. But if they keep doing it, they can't use ignorance as an excuse anymore.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Ignorance of fact is an excuse; whatever is done under a mistaken impression of a material fact is excused or provides grounds for relief.

This means that if someone does something wrong because they didn't know all the facts, they might not be punished for it. For example, if someone accidentally takes something from a store without paying because they thought it was free, they might not be charged with theft because they didn't know they were supposed to pay for it.

However, this principle doesn't always apply. If someone does something that is still a crime even if they didn't know all the facts, they can still be punished. For example, if someone shoots someone else thinking it's a toy gun, they can still be charged with murder because it's still a crime to kill someone, even if they didn't know the gun was real.

Example: A man is driving down the road and sees a stop sign. He thinks it's a yield sign and doesn't come to a complete stop. A police officer pulls him over and gives him a ticket for running a stop sign. The man argues that he didn't know it was a stop sign, but the officer tells him that "ignorantia facti excusat" doesn't apply in this case because it's still a traffic violation to not come to a complete stop at a stop sign, even if the driver didn't know it was a stop sign.

What made you give in and go out after he asked a couple times?
Other failed dates
babycat
14:55
That’ll do it
Question, how many of u would sleep on first date
babycat
14:57
honestly my answer is it depends
babycat
14:57
there has to be a very specific vibe to make me want to do that. not like a regular date
babycat
14:59
and sometimes you want to and you still don’t do ir
babycat
14:59
it
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.

@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
Dkk
15:06
@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.
Dkk
15:07
@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
BulbasaurNoLikeCardio
15:10
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.
babycat
15:11
Aw poor Bulbasaur
Dkk
15:11
In all of these situations described, the point of failure happened way before the emotional reality set in.
babycat
15:11
I'm like extremely monogamous at heart
babycat
15:12
I'm never dating or fucking more than one person at a time
