A quick definition of modus:

Modus: A word that means "mode" or "manner." In criminal law, it refers to the way in which a crime was committed. In Roman and civil law, it refers to the way in which a gift or other legal arrangement is to be used. In ecclesiastical law, it is related to the way in which tithes are collected. It is similar to the term "modus operandi," which means the way in which someone operates or does something.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Modus (moh-dus) is a Latin term that has different meanings depending on the context in which it is used.

  1. Criminal procedure: In criminal law, modus refers to the part of a charging instrument that describes how an offense was committed. For example, if someone is charged with theft, the modus would describe how the theft was carried out, such as breaking into a house or pickpocketing.
  2. Roman & civil law: In Roman and civil law, modus means mode, manner, or consideration. It is often used to describe how a gift, bequest, servitude, or other legal arrangement is to be employed. For example, if someone leaves a sum of money to a charity, the modus would describe how the money should be used.
  3. Eccles. law: In ecclesiastical law, modus is used in the context of de modo decimandi, which refers to the manner of tithing. This is a system used by the church to collect tithes, or a portion of a person's income, for religious purposes.

Overall, modus refers to the way in which something is done or carried out, whether it be a crime, legal arrangement, or religious practice.

Example: If someone is charged with murder, the modus would describe how the victim was killed, such as by strangulation or gunshot. In Roman law, if someone leaves a piece of property to their children, the modus would describe how the property should be divided among them. In ecclesiastical law, the modus decimandi would describe how much of a person's income should be given to the church as a tithe.

These examples illustrate how modus is used to describe the manner in which something is done or carried out, whether it be a crime, legal arrangement, or religious practice.

Feeling like sad drinking tonight, wife accidentally tossed out my truck keys and those are expensive as fuck to replace. The crappiest part is that the key chain had the "remove before flight" tab from my first aircraft's rocket pods overseas from 6 years ago. Then find out people fucked around and back dated reports at work making me look like a shit bag so I am working later tonight and missing range time which is my weekly relax/me time. Add in my sleep meds stopped working, so I am thinking vodka (so I stay skinny and hot) and pizza by the fireplace kind of friday.

babycat
14:57

babycat
14:59

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

I could never imagine myself doing that on a first date.
Dkk
15:01
@BulbasaurNoLikeCardio: hope things get better
babycat

@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: 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.

@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
