        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.

        Well there’s a spectrum isn’t there and everybody puts their marker just slightly ahead of what they like. Unless you go full furry, in which case I guess you don’t have any use for the marker

    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.”

    I think there’s nuance to this.

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

      How do they know when that time is without having first witnessed some ball gobbling?

      Do we just have ancestors popping in for a check and immediately turning away embarrassed all the time?

      Maybe they have to ask permission at the family spying desk and the attendant will just shake their head and say “umm… Nows really not the best time. Gobble gobble if you catch my drift.”

      I can’t imagine how many embarrassing reunions there would be in heaven, or maybe hell is just filling to the brim lol

        It’s kinda like a Facebook birthday reminder, for whatever kind of things they would want to see. As long as heaven can design a good algorithm, there’s no big issues.

      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.

    Grandma probably did the same in her youth, and now that she’s in heaven, she’s reliving whatever she wants, whenever she wants it. At worst, she’d wish she could offer some advice.

    Why would Grandma care? Grandma’s probably getting her brains fucked out by 13 werewolves while Grandpa’s putting together a catgirl harem. Even if that’s not your kind of grandma, she’s probably very much aware that she should be giving you privacy, lol.

    you should never be gobbling balls for any reason as that is a silly thing to do.
