A quick definition of in pari causa:

Term: in pari causa

Definition: In pari causa means "in an equal case" in Latin. It is used to describe a situation where two parties have equal rights or are affected equally. In such cases, the person who possesses something usually wins over the person who does not possess it.

A more thorough explanation:

Term: in pari causa
Definition: In a situation where two parties have equal rights or are equally affected, the person who possesses the property or right usually wins. For example, if two people claim ownership of the same car but one has possession of it, the possessor will usually win the case because they have a stronger claim in pari causa.
Example: Two neighbors both claim ownership of a tree that is on the boundary between their properties. However, one neighbor has been taking care of the tree for years and has even built a treehouse in it. In this case, the neighbor who has possession of the tree will likely win the case because they have a stronger claim in pari causa.

Idk if any of you watch UFC but one time interim heavyweight champ Tom Aspinall won a fight and said on the mic afterwards “if you feel scared to do something, that’s a pretty good sign you should just go fucking do it” and I believe that applies very much to people wondering if they should R&R. Sure you can but why not just see what happens now?

It was years ago but it was a lower card fight, dude didn't speak good english and they tried asking him his plan, he was like "punch him" they tried to get more info pushing it again and he said "punch him hard" and pointed at his forehead.... I don't remember the results of the fight but dude had a solid plan.

@babycat: got to keep those legs flexible so you don't pull anything, I need to get back into yoga to release and stretch out tension in my muscles. Stretching is where I fail the most with fitness
