no wait he has a point

Acts 4:34-36

"For there was not a needy person among them, for all who were owners of land or houses would sell them and bring the proceeds of the sales and lay them at the apostles’ feet, and they would be distributed to each as any had need."

They mean this Christianity, right???

The water has waves!

It's hard to really describe to younger generations just what it was like.

I'm an elder millennial (1984) and the changes to games within my lifetime has been breath taking and staggering.

The first game I remember playing is River Raid on my brother's Atari. I was a vaguely plane shaped black block.

A couple years later, I find myself playing Super Mario Bros. A few more and it's SMB3 and I'm holding a gameboy in my hands on the road trips to Florida to see my grandparents.

Then the jump to SNES and Genesis. Seeing that depth and life seep into the characters... The music gaining in complexity...

I even had a Sega CD and I remember how mind blowing it was when Sonic turned and ran towards the back to go through a loop instead of just side to side.

Then for it was PS1 with Final Fantasy 7... Graphical cut scenes like moving works of art.

After this point, yes there was still obvious and sometimes bigger jumps... But this is where it all was SO different each generation. Not just seeing extra small details and polishes. Large, discrete jumps forward

I wish I could give my wonder to anyone who never got to experience it. It was an amazing time to live.

rule :(

"And the poor shall not be allowed even the pleasure of sugary treats. Yea, they shall have their food stamps slashed for the sin of poverty."

Book of Jebus, chapter 6, verses 3 and 4.

Seriously, though, it seems like everything these people do is just to inflict more suffering.

FBI warns users to encrypt text messages for cybersecurity. Here's how to do it

Showed this information to my boomer mother who then asked my also tech illiterate step father what he thought.

"We don't send sensitive information through texts."

The ignorance almost physically hurts.. Thinking that only the actual message content is important.

Or ignoring the pictures we send and the private things I talk about with my mom.

Do I think that specifically my information would be useful to China? Likely not. But I also have no idea what all is possible with that kind of information in the aggregate.

At the very least, I assume they will use it to manipulate us even more with disinformation.
