lights, ancient

Read a random definition: Illinois

A quick definition of lights, ancient:

Lights, ancient refers to the ancient-lights doctrine, a common-law principle that allows a landowner to acquire an easement preventing a neighbor from building an obstruction that blocks light from passing through the landowner's window after 20 years of uninterrupted use. This window or opening is called an ancient light. The doctrine is rarely applied in the United States and has been repudiated. It means that a landowner has a legal right to a reasonable amount of light, free from interruption, over adjoining land.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: The ancient-lights doctrine is a common-law principle that allows a landowner to acquire an easement preventing a neighbor from building an obstruction that blocks light from passing through the landowner's window after 20 years of uninterrupted use. The window or other opening is called an ancient light. This doctrine is rarely applied in the United States.

Example: If a landowner has received sunlight across adjoining property for a specified period of time, the landowner is entitled to continue to receive unobstructed access to sunlight across the property. This is known as the ancient-lights doctrine.

Explanation: The ancient-lights doctrine allows a landowner to protect their right to a reasonable amount of light, free from interruption, over adjoining land. If a landowner has received sunlight across adjoining property for a specified period of time, they can claim an easement preventing a neighbor from building an obstruction that blocks light from passing through the landowner's window. This doctrine is rarely applied in the United States, but it is still used in some countries like England.

I think tik tok is evil and coming from a national defense background, working in PSYOP and in the intelligence community I can promise it is.

@BulbasaurNoLikeCardio: Yeah but like half the general officers are compromised so we might as well just give this country to China already. The head of the JAG corps used to tell us how much he loved Tiktok and he was a 1 star. These people should be court martialed. I hope Trump follows through on that promise the most.
it was 80 degrees three days ago and now it's like pouring rain sleet and wind

@m10: 110% agree, china has a truly amazing HUMINT network and espionage skills that much of our military is infiltrated or committing willful negligence of duty in prevent and protection. @babycat: PSYOP is pretty small on the AD side but I left the community to go play with Apaches and drones in 2018/19

Psyop guys will try and convince you they are like secret masterminds. I had this one guy whose wife would call me every week and she would tell me about how her husband just like disappeared and could not be found cus he was a specialy trained psyop officer. I found his phone number and called him the same day online. That woman was gaslit so hard.

I agree with soap on this one, just wait it out and see where you get into. You could always transfer (although I wouldn't go in with the intention of transferring)

Transferring is hard and you don’t get money. I wouldn’t do anything with the intent of transferring
