I completely understand where you’re coming from, but for a lot of gamers physical discs are the only way they could afford to play games because they could get them secondhand. You can also give games to your younger siblings Which is a great way to introduce them to the games you were playing.

Most importantly though, as we saw from PlayStation this past week, if the media we buy is only digital, it can be taken away from us at a moment’s notice with no recourse. Imagine that, one day your entire library of games could be deleted overnight because technically you don’t own it.

I don't understand people's obsession with watching tutorials in videos format.

What I can read in a minute, takes 5 minutes to watch. Not to mention that revisiting a section is extremely tedious in video.

I guess I must be getting old.

Am I the only who one who feels like AI is too “in-your-face”, especially on phones?

- On android and iOS both, it’s indicated by colorful glows and starry icons that are unlike anything else in the OS’s.

- Google is putting a dedicated colorful light strip on the new GoogleBook merely to indicate when AI is in action.

Why can’t it be subtle and blend in with the rest of the OS?

Why do companies feel the need to shout that “this is an AI feature” everywhere?

To answer my own questions, it’s because AI is a trend right now and it’s easier for companies to sell you new “AI features” rather than just new “features”.

But, as a consumer, I just find it very annoying and distracting. It makes it look like AI features are not a part of the OS itself but rather something else on top of it.

@NoMansSky At this point, with all of the free updates, NMS is a game that is too big to be true. You are trully the redemption story of the century.

Unrealized gains tax for Gen-Z:

You buy a Pokémon card for $50.

Someone offers you $500 for it. You say no. You love that card. You're keeping it.

The government says: "Cool, but that card is worth $500 now. You owe us $100 in taxes."
You: "…I didn't sell it."

Government: "Don't care. Pay up."

You don't have $100 lying around. So you're forced to sell the card you love just to pay a tax on money you never received.

Next month? That card drops back to $50.

Your card is gone. Your money is gone. And the government shrugs.

That's a wealth tax on unrealized gains. They don't pay you back the tax...

Now picture this.

Your mom calls you crying. She has to sell the house she raised you in. Not because she can't afford it. She's lived there 30 years. It's paid off.

But some website says it's worth more now and the government says she owes $15,000 she doesn't have.

So she sells your childhood home. The kitchen where she made you breakfast. The doorframe where she marked your height every birthday.

Gone.

To pay a tax on money that was never real.

Now picture the opposite.

Your dad put everything into his small business. For 20 years he built it from nothing. One year the business is "valued" at $2 million on paper. He owes a massive tax bill. He empties his savings. Sells his truck. Borrows money. Pays it.

Next year the market crashes. His business is worth $200,000.

He lost everything to pay a tax on a number that doesn't exist anymore.

Does the government give him his money back?
No.

Does the government give him his truck back?
No.

Does the government care?
No.

They sold this idea as "taxing billionaires." But billionaires have armies of lawyers, offshore accounts, and trusts. They'll be fine.

You know who won't be fine? Your mom. Your dad. Your neighbor with a small business. The farmer down the road who's had the same land for four generations and now has to sell it because dirt got expensive.

You're not taxing wealth. You're taxing people for owning things.

It's like getting a parking ticket for a car you might drive somewhere someday.

They want you to own nothing and be happy. To fund the fraud, waste and abuse of the welfare state they created.

There is enough money. More tax isn't needed. It's all a lie. But you've been gaslit into believing this is a rich vs poor debate.

I hope you understand what's at stake.

Imagine starting with a block of stone and ending up with this.

When Michelangelo was 23 years old, he was commissioned by a cardinal to produce “the most beautiful work of marble in Rome, one that no living artist could better.” It was to capture the moment the Virgin Mary held Christ in her arms after he was taken down from the cross.

Accepting the challenge, the relatively unknown young man got to work on a block of Carrara marble. Less than 2 years later, the work was installed at the cardinal's grave, on the very same day he died.

When revealed, it was met with sheer disbelief. Most doubted it was the young man’s work, so he carved into the sash across Mary's chest:

“Michelangelo Buonarroti of Florence made this.”

La Pietà embodies the power of beauty as a transcendent force. It takes the worst possible human tragedy — the loss of a grieving parent — and transforms it into something that helps you to instead see the ecstatic joy of human life. Michelangelo saw in the dead body of Christ such compassionate suffering that it drove him to create the most beautiful thing ever hewn from a block of marble.

Vasari called it a “miracle that a formless block of stone could ever have been reduced to a perfection that nature is scarcely able to create in the flesh.”

La Pietà now lives at St. Peter’s Basilica, where it has been for over 500 years.

The Lord of the Rings is Catholic, everyone knows that.

But did you know the One Ring was destroyed on the exact date of the Annunciation of Jesus Christ (His conception) and, according to medieval tradition, the Crucifixion?

J.R.R. Tolkien was meticulous with his calendar. In the books, the One Ring is destroyed in Mount Doom on March 25th.

In Catholic theology (and medieval tradition), March 25th is the Feast of the Annunciation (when Christ was conceived) and also the historical date assigned to the Crucifixion.

Tolkien deliberately aligned the destruction of evil with the victory of Christ.
