I'm going through my departed mother-in-law's stuff, and it's weird, having the responsibility to decide what of things she considered precious get ruled trash or not. I don't like it, it feels like passing judgement on her life.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Oh, when I die and my relatives go through my shit, I bet for 2/3rds of my stuff they'll be going, "Why the fuck did he have this?"

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Is that the porn 2/3rds?

I should start keeping all that sort of stuff in a box/folder marked "In the event of my death, destroy without opening."

Mostly, I was stoked at what I was getting.
I got nothing. It all went to my mom and his parents.

you gotta have a "porn friend", that person that, in the event of your death, hustles over to your house and cleans out all of your porn/toys/naughty stuff before your relatives come to clean out your place.

Yeah. I mean, the porn is a subset of the 2/3rds.
Hmmm - I think most people don't want to know what turns/turned their relatives on....
I suppose for digital porn, one could store it all in an encrypted volume and not give anyone the password. I mean, hypothetically, if one had such things....

Perhaps we should all pick a Buffista beneficiary, who can spread the porn around. Heirlooms should stay in the family, and all that.

it's an unwritten rule that the porn friend gets to keep said porn.

My two sisters and I jokingly divided up my parent's assets this way: K got the house, I got everything in the house, and G got the garden shed and everything in the shed (G was not there when K and I decided this -- majority rules). I've now pointed out to them that my parents have sold the house (and the shed), so now I'm the only one who is going to inherit anything (and that's everything).

Digital porn? I wouldn't even know where to find any.
