    In the days immediately after my dad’s death, I had the house to myself and had retreated to my basement/office space to have a stress-relieving wank. Just outside of my space was my daughter’s battery-operated activity table that was known to play jingles at random. What it was not well known for was playing the giggling sound effect at random. So imagine how quickly I put my dick away when that table laughed at me not once, not twice, but three times in the span of a minute.

    If that wasn’t my dad’s ghost making fun of me, I don’t know what it was.

        Gambling is bad because of the consequences of gambling when you have finite resources to lose. I assume that any form of heaven is post-scarcity so betting is done just for recreational purposes.

            There’s as much evidence of that as for any other idea of heaven or the existence of an heaven at all

            Similar to how they think god is like a father or king but nice, plus obviously the smartest and strongest and best at everything and can totally beat up YOUR dad?

          One could argue that any form of addiction ought to be avoided on principle if your goal is to remain “pure”

            Look, all I’m saying is: if Jesus died for our sins and you aren’t committing any, then I guess I just want to know why you insist on making his death be in vain? I mean, I know if I was to go through a whole ass crucifixion and everything I would like to think it was at least worth it

        Man I called that, along with probably a ton of others, from the very first episode. Still, the writers did such a good job with it I was not disappointed that the very obvious twist indeed was the twist.

        Also for some reason, not sure if it’s just my app (Sync) but your spoiler tags didn’t work right. Idk why you have >!spoiler and not just >! Like if it’s my app making it display wrong or that breaks the tag beats me.

        Could also, maybe more likely, be the end tag being --!< That might fuck up the syntax.

          I use Sync, and have learned that our spoilers don’t work for other users and their spoilers don’t work for us.

            That’s kind of wild I wonder what is going on in the code for that to be the case. I don’t know how that works under the hood as far as that goes.

    I have a theory that when people go to church, they go for the intention to change their privacy settings, and the priest just reads out each setting and people do the cross to agree with each setting.

    I have gotten no evidence of the contrary so it must be true! /s

        I just figure no one cares about most people on earth already, if heaven were really why would they care about them then? They have an eternity to plan, what’s 60 years of fucking up and winding up dead in a gutter compared to that

    I think there’s nuance to this.

    Any deceased family member of yours who belongs in heaven is going to give you privacy when you need it

      Or once you see the private lives of every person, all the time, you quickly understand that everyone does weird shit in private and voyeurism just loses its novelty entirely. People fucking or picking their nose will be no more interesting that someone walking down the street.

      Yeah but my grandmother was 104 when she died. She married my grandfather when she was in her twenties and I really don’t think she was really all that bothered about him it was just the done thing back then.

      She definitely would take the opportunity to be judgy, while at the same time technically passing the requirements by her own standards to be in heaven.

      people don’t have omniscience to just peer through the veil and watch a “family member” or anyone else for that matter

            I don’t consider myself to be religious. But I hang out with Jesus pretty frequently. He hides from the Christians with me.

            He figures a non-religious guy who looks like me is the best guy to hang out with to not be noticed by the crazy Christians

    She has it all wrong: Grandma and her other ancestors aren’t watching from heaven or whatever they’re inside her. Passive guests in her body that get to “live on via their children and grandchildren.” Literally.

    Grandma tasted those balls right along with you, girl! It’s like that saying, “if you’re cold, they’re cold.”
