#8 This would be a great scam to sucker the 'binary & digitally enlightened' sector of our populace.

Recurring revenue for yearly/monthly/weekly 'upgrades' to the perceived child, with intense social media shaming for those that don't.

#20 Sounds like she is betting on Klaus's promise of happiness in a sterile and inebriated digital haze. Thanks, but no thanks.

#21 XSpurt indeed. I hope all who are engulfed by the ‘Metaverse’ succumb to this asinine view. Gene poll cleansing shall commence!

#24 It sounds like you need a small whiskey to settle yourself before bed, my dear. Or perhaps a cup of chamomile tea or a glass of warm milk. :-)
