Not to sound 105 but parasocial relationships as meaningful interaction bad.

It's just adapting to a world that is less connected by building bonds in a way that can be maintained in a disconnected world.

Maybe it's not all bad but I can't help but think our brains are definitely wired for in-person communication and it'll never totally fill that void.

Being an analog being in a digital world sucks.

My rl name starts with Chat and I introduce myself as such most places. It's pronounced differently though, since it's based on a French word. The Ch has an Sh sound. And yes, I know what that sounds like...

You know what it sounds like, but you still introduce yourself as such?

We should party.

Maybe she should be more concerned that students are asking if her class is real.

I am not sure if you are being genuine or not (chat?) but in case you are the phrase is not asking if something is literally real. It's a way to express surprise at a situation "wow this thing is really happening".
