mortmain statute

Read a random definition: lex Poetelia

A quick definition of mortmain statute:

A mortmain statute is a law that limits the amount of land that corporations, especially charitable ones, can receive as gifts or hold in perpetuity. In England, these laws were created to prevent religious corporations from holding land indefinitely without the Crown's authorization. Although not common in the United States, some states have enacted similar laws to restrict the amount of property that corporations can hold for religious or charitable purposes.

A more thorough explanation:

A mortmain statute is a law that limits gifts and other dispositions of land to corporations, especially charitable ones. It also prohibits corporations from holding land in perpetuity.

For example, in England, laws such as the Provisions of Westminster and Magna Carta required the Crown's authorization before land could vest in a corporation. The purpose was to prevent lands from being held by religious corporations in perpetuity. This type of restriction influenced the enactment of certain state laws in the United States that restrict the amount of property that a corporation can hold for religious or charitable purposes.

Another example is a state law that limits the amount of land a non-profit organization can own. This law is designed to prevent non-profit organizations from accumulating too much land and becoming too powerful.

In summary, a mortmain statute is a law that limits the amount of land that a corporation, especially a charitable one, can own and prohibits them from holding land in perpetuity.

babycat
14:57

babycat
14:59
and sometimes you want to and you still don’t do ir
babycat
14:59
it
babycat
15:00
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
15:00
I could never imagine myself doing that on a first date.
Dkk
15:01
@BulbasaurNoLikeCardio: hope things get better
babycat
15:01
@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: If the person is clean or has a good vibe I will do it the first date
15:06
Yeah sorry I can't answer that Lauren, I don't sleep with anyone if I'm not already dating them
Dkk
15:06
@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.
Dkk
15:07
@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

You just have to be smart and accept your choices, I know some people will believe a casual hook up or FWB is a regular exclusive thing. Communication is key if you are playing it that way but it is very dangerous to have multiple partners at the same time in a non-exclusive way
babycat
15:09
Yeah you should make it clear to them it's not exclusive
BulbasaurNoLikeCardio
15:10
I have been on the receiving/hurt end thinking it was exclusive when I was just her human dildo and it makes you feel bad.
babycat
15:11
Aw poor Bulbasaur

In all of these situations described, the point of failure happened way before the emotional reality set in.
babycat
15:11
I'm like extremely monogamous at heart
babycat
15:12
I'm never dating or fucking more than one person at a time
babycat
15:12
But one time this guy I'd been dating for a little bit had a tinder notification come up on his phone and I flipped my shit lol
1a2b3c4d26z
15:12
Yea but isn't that just cheating
1a2b3c4d26z
15:12
If you're already dating
babycat
15:13
I mean like casual dating without a label

My wife and I date girls together but we don't fuck unless it is going to be exclusive but having hot chick friends you can flirt with is great.
