mediate possession

Read a random definition: May

A quick definition of mediate possession:

Mediate possession is when someone has control over something through someone else, like an agent. It's different from actual possession, which is when someone physically has something. Possession means having power over something and being able to use it exclusively. It can be related to owning property or just having control over something. Sometimes possession can be disputed, and there are different types of possession, like constructive possession or peaceable possession.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Mediate possession is the possession of something through someone else, such as an agent. In every instance of mediate possession, there is a direct possessor (such as an agent) as well as a mediate possessor (the principal).

Examples:

  • If a person sends their servant to buy a book for them, they acquire mediate possession of it through the servant, until the servant has brought it to them, when their possession becomes immediate.
  • A landlord who hires a property manager to manage their rental property has mediate possession of the property through the property manager.

These examples illustrate how mediate possession involves possession through someone else, rather than direct possession.

Going to law school with you is even more fun than going to San Sebastian, Irún, Hendaye, Biarritz, Bayonne or being sick to my stomach on the Travesera de Gracia in Barcelona partly because in your orange shirt you look like a better happier St. Sebastian partly because of my love for you, partly because of your love for yoghurt partly because of the fluorescent orange tulips around the birches partly because of the secrecy our smiles take on before people and statuary

Man, there is this girl I visit every month at this one restaurant who I used to go skinny dipping with naked like @ararara always talked about in San Diego. We randomly reconnected like two months ago at this place she works at and we talk a lot about John Steinbeck books. If I don't visit her this month, she might be sad. However, this is my first day not sick and I worry about getting her sick and I am broke. What should I do LSD?

Not worth the risk. Get a girl sick and she will remind you forever. Tell her whats up but do not share germs
