modus vivendi

Read a random definition: depletable economic interest

A quick definition of modus vivendi:

Modus Vivendi: A temporary agreement between countries or groups of people that helps them live together peacefully while they work on finding a more permanent solution to their problems. It is like a band-aid that helps cover up a wound until it can heal properly. Sometimes, these agreements can last for a long time if a permanent solution cannot be found.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Modus vivendi (moh-dus vi-ven-dee) is a Latin term that means "means of living (together)". In international law, it refers to a temporary and provisional agreement made between parties that creates binding obligations.

A modus vivendi is a way for parties to tolerate each other and work towards a settlement by laying down the basis of a method of living together with a problem or bridging over some difficulty pending a permanent settlement. It is usually used for provisional and interim arrangements that will eventually be replaced by a more permanent and detailed agreement. The most distinguishing feature of a modus vivendi is its provisional character, but it can be exercised for an indefinite period of time if a definitive solution to the problem cannot be reached by treaty.

For example, two countries may sign a modus vivendi to temporarily resolve a border dispute while they work towards a permanent solution. Another example is when two countries agree to a modus vivendi to allow their fishermen to fish in each other's waters for a limited time while they negotiate a more permanent fishing agreement.

These examples illustrate how a modus vivendi can be used to temporarily resolve a problem while parties work towards a more permanent solution. It allows parties to live together and tolerate each other while they negotiate a more detailed and long-term agreement.

I wouldn't say trauma, the trauma would probably come from seeing my friends head get crushed by an LTV and feeling the bag of glass that was his skull in my hands. Or knowing a kid I mentored shot himself with a bullet he used to keep around his neck that I allowed him to have illegally.

Winter is tattoo season because you are less likely to be in the sun exposing the healng tattoos, you dont go swimming or tanning in winter either so you don't miss out on the fun stuff of summer
