They shouldn’t, and yet they do.

People aren’t rational actors. Look at Trump’s method of argumentation, look at the success it has throughout the US and around the world, and use that to help infer what people are actually convinced by.

Also used in the Buffy opening sequence. Also one of my favorite descriptions from the mall ninja vendor Museum Replicas Ltd ran something along the lines of “It’s meant to get bent if you hit something with it. You can just straighten it out.”

I obviously can’t speak for everyone, but as someone who has had obscenely over-producing fruit trees in their front yard, I never, ever minded people picking them. 95% are just going to fall into the grass and become lawn waste for me.

Having dealt with this kind of thing before, it gives a new and more literal definition to the phrase “bloody idiot.”

That’s also what general happens in the US if you die without a will. It’s called intestate succession. If your spouse survives you, they will generally get everything held as community property. If you had property prior to the marriage, it might be divided among your children, if any. Of there are no immediate family (spouse and/or children), it can then be divided among any relatives you do happen to have.

If you have any valuable assets that you want to bequeath to someone in particular, then it’s important to have a will. If you want a bigger chunk of money to go to a relative you know is struggling financially or could otherwise use it (kids heading to college, buying a house, whatever), then that’s another reason to have a will. Of instead of a family member, you want the money to go to a charity, then that’s yet another reason.

If you tried tilting on that field the horses would likely injure themselves and the knights would be thrown off.

Then you should probably stop replying to people.
