Small-Scale Question Sunday for April 13, 2025

Do you have a dumb question that you're kind of embarrassed to ask in the main thread? Is there something you're just not sure about?

This is your opportunity to ask questions. No question too simple or too silly.

Culture war topics are accepted, and proposals for a better intro post are appreciated.

I feel that, just like all technology, its use can be both beneficial and harmful depending on how we approach it. An avatar can help us remember and honor those who have passed, and perhaps even help us get over their death. There's a reason why people put photos of their loved ones on the wall - you look up at them from time to time to think about how they would say, or how they would react to something. On the other hand, the avatar can make us indulge in our worst neuroses - Using it as a crutch and refusing to grow, or clinging to the past and being untruthful with oneself.
