How is possible to know if that person has no name?
If that person need you as proxy to talk for them, maybe it is all in
the end the joke to create a commotion, and finally laughs.
How do we know that you are transmitting the emotion and feeling in
same manner how it was intended?

You have to step away from that computer and go into people, talk and
make some fun. Come back.
Or if not that, okay fine, though that sounds too robotic too me, and
no fun.

1000 replies on what? I cannot find anything related to jokes
there. Your answer is not related.
Get out of that room.
