A quick definition of capitis deminutio:

Capitis deminutio is a term from Roman law that refers to a change in a person's legal status. It means that a person's legal personality is destroyed and replaced with a new one. This can happen in three ways: by losing freedom (capitis deminutio maxima), by losing citizenship (capitis deminutio media), or by being separated from their family (capitis deminutio minima). Capitis deminutio can also refer to the smallest reduction of status, which involves a change of family but not citizenship or freedom.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Capitis deminutio is a term used in Roman law to describe a reduction or alteration of a person's legal status. It refers to the destruction of a person's legal personality and the creation of a new one in its place.

There are three types of capitis deminutio:

  • Capitis deminutio maxima: This is the most severe form of capitis deminutio, which occurs when a person is reduced to slavery.
  • Capitis deminutio media: This occurs when a person loses their citizenship but retains their freedom. For example, banishment for life to an island or other restricted area had this effect.
  • Capitis deminutio minima: This involves a change of family, while both citizenship and freedom are retained.

For example, if a person was enslaved, they would experience capitis deminutio maxima. This would result in a complete loss of their legal personality and the creation of a new one as a slave. Similarly, if a person was banished for life to an island, they would experience capitis deminutio media, which would result in a loss of citizenship but not freedom.

4/14 ACL? Like 4 days ago? I guess they’re actively considering you
To be totally honest, us 4/14 people are probably slated for the big R wave at the end of the month lol.
I'm very happy for everyone admitted to the U *intense sobbing*
oh yeah I meant 2/14, the first ACL

i got 5 automated rejection emails for the same job
19:22

jesus
19:23
idk what they doin over dere
me when yet another week of schools sending out mass decisions but missing me (I know I'm a late applicant let me cope)
19:24
same i am still ur at nyu
it feels like surviving an execution
19:24
do they send all the updates for them at once at the beginning of the day, or are they actually rolling out decisions
19:24
i cant tell if ppl r just tracking late or actually getting them rolling
we r all lined up, blindfolded, and then the schools shoot people around and near you, and occasionally people out of the line. and u just stand there and wait for ur bullet or ur shoulder tap
19:25
ahhh got it
I think if it's R/WL, more likely big wave hit inboxes and people trickling in to update here last.
A's can be rolling tho
19:25
ok yeah then i dont really need to be refreshing every hour
The UofU has been calling people with admits which is more time consuming than just mass sending that god forsaken email (when will it be my turn)
It’s almost May and that’s making me worried
