Not that insane. Most people only concern themselves with their own issues. And if you're a 40 year old whose childhood home is now worth 500k or whatever and you have to pay 200k in taxes in order to inherit it, then you probably want to vote against it because otherwise the government will take it.

Okay, take all that with a grain of salt because I'm not too familiar with inheritance law, but it's based on multiple similar stories I've heard from people.

I still think it should be taxed, don't get me wrong. But I understand why people are against it.

    You're arguing with a guy that doesn't want to change their mind. He literally sent me a video whose sources contradicted him and guess what happened when I pointed that to him? Never bothered to reply and he still uses that video as proof that he's right.

    Doubt it. But, for what it's worth, last I heard, valve was one of the most sought after employers in the business. Apparently the salaries are generous and you get to work on whatever you want, not on what a manager tells you to.

    It's not just any company, it's a law firm 10 years after founding...Yeah, it could be a law firm that's barely scraping by in some village with 3 other law firms, but I highly doubt it. Plus it's a joke. The punchline is that the person is loaded.

    Depends on the denomination, I think. Dunno about others but for Orthodox Christians the soul goes to heaven(or gets to be judged by God, actually) after 40 days because that's how long Jesus took to ascend after his death.

    Shooter games? Counter strike can be played offline with bots and it's free. Aimlabs is made specifically to improve aim, also free. Faster paced strategy games like Dota 2 also requires accuracy to click on monsters and enemies and can be played offline with bots and it's free.

    More story-oriented games of course could also work. StarCraft, company of heroes, command and conquer, age of empires, etc. For shooters there's tons, but many have gore..you can try portal or slime rancher but I was playing doom and Wolfenstein and stuff like that when I was like 10 and whatever as did many of us..but well..not here to give parenting advice, shouldn't listen to me.

    That's most likely made by whoever is taking care of the tree. They sometimes rot cause of some disease so the rotten part is taken out. I've seen some that were so large and had such big pieces missing that they looked as if they were two trees that fused together. Pretty cool.

    Looks like an olive tree. They all have those twisty trunks. They're pretty cool. They're somehow trying to follow the movements of the earth and apparently that's what's causing the weirdness.
