Definition: This is a phrase used in Scots law to describe someone who is not mentally capable, foolish, and naturally an idiot. It is used when a jury needs to determine if someone is an idiot or not.

A more thorough explanation:

SI SIT INCOMPOS MENTIS, FATUUS, ET NATURALITER IDIOTA

SI SIT INCOMPOS MENTIS, FATUUS, ET NATURALITER IDIOTA is a Latin phrase used in Scots law. It refers to a situation where a person is of unsound mind, fatuous, and naturally an idiot. This phrase is used in an inquiry posed to a jury required to make an idiocy determination.

An example of the use of this phrase would be in a court case where a person is being evaluated for their mental capacity. If the person is found to be of unsound mind, fatuous, and naturally an idiot, they may be deemed incapable of making certain legal decisions or entering into certain contracts.

For instance, if a person with a severe intellectual disability is asked to sign a contract, they may not fully understand the terms of the agreement. In this case, the court may use the phrase SI SIT INCOMPOS MENTIS, FATUUS, ET NATURALITER IDIOTA to determine that the person is not capable of entering into a legally binding contract.

Another example could be in a criminal case where the defendant is being evaluated for their mental state at the time of the crime. If the defendant is found to be of unsound mind, fatuous, and naturally an idiot, they may not be held fully responsible for their actions.

Overall, this phrase is used to describe a person who is not capable of making certain legal decisions or being held fully responsible for their actions due to their mental state.

si sit admodum grave | si sit legitimae aetatis

@Dkk: Fair. My guess is (if the DNC is smart) dems change there messaging to be more appealing to moderates, they start winning and they hopefully that encourages republicans to move back to the center.
Dkk
18:47
Yeah, exactly.
18:47
i for one STILL cannot believe donnie is prez. like gobsmacked. how did that happen? was it getting gunned down that sealed the deal?
Im starting to worry that I wont hear back from some schools before deposit deadline. Anyone have any advice? Is it possible they push back deposit dates?

@llama: This was the best explanation that I read for it: https://samharris.substack.com/p/the-reckoning

@GapingVariousTurkey: same bro. im not worried cause yolo, but i think an honest talk with each applicable school will allow them to give leeway
texaslawhopefully
18:48
But, yeah, I think many people were shocked
any UK law students?
18:49
@texaslawhopefully: when I have some time i will read, thanks fren. Regardless of whichever of the two [T or H] are in the WH, I truly believe expectations will be looked back on as over worried.

@thanatologist: Kentucky?

@llama: I don't know man, maybe I've been reading way too much news but I'm worried in a way I wasn't with Biden, or would've been with Harris
18:53
@texaslawhopefully: looking back, the Rs were freaking out saying Biden was going to end the country, and the Ds were freaking out during DJTs 1st term. Neither did exceptionally bad or good, IMHO. At the end of the day, the rest of the GOV (Judaical and Congress) really put a damper on grandiose executive plans. Finally, we all know Donnie is a talker: he anchors (ie tarrifs), he talks shit, he says he will do X and never does. news eats that shit up, but I think most will not ever come to pass

I really think it's a lot of political theater right now. I think a huge percentage of these EO's are just going to be shot down.

the news sells fear. that is their product (hence why u see COPD, heart meds, stress/ antidepressants adverts during primtime). We know trump has a big mouth, and when he opens it, he spews nonsense which gets funneled into ur ears- ratings skyrocket.
18:56
not COPD. my bad ^
dem messaging is lightyears behind MAGA messaging, part of this can be blamed on foreign governments boosting the MAGA party to destabilize the country, but the democrat old guard is so far behind MAGA strategy
18:57
@Dkk: exactly.
dems need to give way to modern leftists like AOC and bernie
18:58
@KnowledgeableRitzyWasp: AOC is my crushhhh
Dkk
18:59
It's amazing cus in 2008/2012 people were even wondering if the Republican party was still going to be a thing and then yeah, MAGA just took over.
but unfortunately the left purity tests all of its members to death, for the left their candidates have to be perfect, for the right their candidates are basically forgiven for anything. it makes it a hard sell for upcoming talent to attach to the left wing when they will cancel their politicians for any perceivable social slight
texaslawhopefully
18:59
Yeah, unfortunately that happened in part with Harris and the far-Left
19:00
@KnowledgeableRitzyWasp: see with takes like that, it is no wonder how you are called Knowledgeable Wasp
ie a lot of the left didnt vote for harris because they thought biden was too soft on israel for the I/P situation. but now they have trump who will literally hand netanyahu bombs to genocide palestinians
texaslawhopefully
19:01
And even on that issue, though, I thought Biden was very moderate, whereas the far-Left just had unrealistic expectations of where he was going to end up
yeah absolutely, and our modern left doesn't appreciate that if they eventually want their policies, their best bet is incremental progress, not a perceived revolution

So if you are 19, Trump won his first election when you were like 11. What were you doing at 11?

This is just interesting for me to think about.
