And googling does provide answers. Watching the Microsoft video (a horrid video BTW) I see disembodied avatars missing everything from the waist down (like legs and feet, don't get any other ideas!) doing things that we would normally do in person or outdoors, but not anymore. :sigh:

Not at all. When anything that warrants divine intervention happens, a deity simply hops onto your desk and sits on your keyboard, blocks your view of the screen or plays with your mouse.
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats. His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

I knew Europe was becoming less Christian, but I never thought that you'd started worshiping [Bastet](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bastet) :D

You don't have a choice. One day you open the door and see a little suitcase on the doorstep. When you go back inside, you see the owner of that suitcase already on your most comfortable chair, waiting for the first meal to be served.

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius

ASP.NET Core Web API: Plugin Controllers and ServicesThe way I translate it in understandable terms is a VR open-world game in which everyone can buy land and build virtual stuff with real money, interact with other avatars, exchange said virtual stuff. Basically a Matrix built for corporate greed, where you can rent a spot in Times Square for a kidney and a half or a spot under a dirty bridge for a few cents, but it's in VR! (and FacebookMeta will happily take a commission from each and every transaction in this world)

ASP.NET Core Web API: Plugin Controllers and Servicesmy take on that the Avatar thing might make sense: video cameras only do so much, and some upper body gestures might be missed Since semi real avatars would be overly process intense, characters reduce uncanny valley issues and still allows for enough personalisation to fit most individuals as to why - because some groups think sharing space is nice, which ignore a bunch which just want give me the tasks you want me to do, and ill do them and done. none of this group activity stuff

If 42 is the answer to life, and we see life in a 2 dimensional realm(despite reality being 3D) We must square 42 1764, the answer to life the universe and everything in a 4d realm is 1764 I rest my case...
