  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
  5. Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.

Uhh

Mostly family pictures. Definitely not copyright infringement, that's for sure

Even if I was a prolific pirate with hundreds of gigabytes of mostly decades-old anime across my several hard drives, I would never admit to it

The human race is my family, therefore any media I may have are just family films

That's so wholesome

Look at all these videos of your step moms doing things!

Most of us don't have a need for that amount of built-in storage. External drives and even USB memory sticks meet the needs of probably 95% of people. I don't begrudge you your mega-storage system (I think it's pretty cool), but I have a 1TB SSD and a 2TB external, and I have plenty of storage. Granted, I'm not doing anything graphic or audio intensive. If I didn't have kids or didn't have to work full time, I'd probably need more, but with my available free time and budget, this works.

I've got just shy of 70TB of storage at home. 4k hdr movies use lots of space!

We used to get more and more disk space until we got SSD. I hate modern laptops having just 1 TB drives and having to connect external drives all the time.

I've got at least 400 GB in photos, an 80 GB music collection, then the OS needs space, maybe you'll have multiboot, and maybe you also want some games that somehow require many gigs nowadays. I've got 3 TB in my laptop and I'm constantly cleaning up to have some space.
