lex Rhodia

Read a random definition: stevedore

A quick definition of lex Rhodia:

Lex Rhodia is an old law that was used by the Romans to govern the subject of jettison. It means that if something is thrown overboard to save a ship, the cost of the lost item is shared equally between the consignors and the shipmaster. The law was supposedly developed by the people of the island Rhodes, who were very good at sailing and trading. However, there is some doubt about whether the law actually existed. Even so, it has been used as a source of admiralty and maritime law.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Lex Rhodia is a Roman law that governs the subject of jettison. It is the Rhodian law that requires all consignors and the shipmaster to share losses equally. It is also known as lex Rhodia de jactu.

Example: If a ship is in danger of sinking, the shipmaster may decide to throw some cargo overboard to lighten the load and save the ship. According to lex Rhodia, the loss of the cargo should be shared equally among all parties involved, including the consignors and the shipmaster.

Explanation: Lex Rhodia is an ancient law that originated from the people of the island Rhodes, who were known for their commercial prosperity and naval superiority. The law was adopted by the Romans and has been cited as a source of admiralty and maritime law. The example illustrates how the law applies in the case of jettison, where the loss of cargo is shared equally among all parties involved.

not feminine presenting, a feminine lifestyle. aka like, using the womens restroom, carrying feminine products like for periods (even if not for oneself but at least in a "women supporting women" typa way), etc. i do think a woman should just be a woman tho i dont think we need to dictate what a woman or a man is. i dont appreciate @llama asking me that question like you KNOW what my answer is going to be as a trans person lmfao. if i didn't believe that trans women were women (i do btw) then i wouldn't believe i was a man. but i do. this is rly ridiculous also sorry if this is incredibly late i've been at message limit lol
