does any1 know what the deciding factor is 4 the mages dragging us in2 this world?
there doesnt seem 2 be much of a pattern…
we have just as many supernatural/superhero/magic types as not
theres adults as much as theres kids (sorry not sorry to all the teenagers: ur still just kids, deal w/ it)
so whats the common denominator
whats on their checklist

personally i think its a requirement 2 be super hot if ur summoned
every time we get together 4 some swanky party hosted by someone its like a fucking hollywood extravaganza
this is not a complaint but it IS weird right
like are we being fetishized by the natives???
(THAT gets real weird when u think abt the teenagers tho Y I K E S)

thoughts/opinions?
(do we think they even specifically get 2 choose who they pluck out of their lives or is it all at random?
magic is chaos, right??
come @ me research bros ik ur out there)

but theres still something 2 say abt patterns in who/what ppl find conventionally attractive

[techmaturgy]

There are certain ratios that are aesthetically pleasing, but ultimately I believe "attractiveness" to be too subjective, and too based on personal preference to be accurately evaluated.

[bestfuneralever]

since ur the bill nye around here ill take ur word 4 it

[techmaturgy]

I don't know what that means.

He is a man on the television that teaches science to children.
He is beloved.

[ John enjoyed his show a lot. ]

[bestfuneralever]

[ushiri]

The theme song's going to be stuck in my head all day.

[bestfuneralever]

ahhh nostalgia
lmao ur welcome

[ushiri]

It's a powerful force.

[ He doesn't know what LMAO means and he's too afraid to ask. ]

[bestfuneralever]

truly!!
&& it hits u outta nowhere sometimes

[techmaturgy]

[oh well at least he's BELOVED]

An educator, then. I was concerned for a moment that I was being insulted.

[ushiri]

He had honest enthusiasm. And a catchy theme song.

[techmaturgy]

A theme song?

[ushiri]

All the television shows have them.
The best AND the worst ones you can never unhear.

[ Even through brain damage, apparently. Powerful stuff. ]

[techmaturgy]

I do like the television. We don't have moving pictures, where I'm from.

[ushiri]

They are very distracting.
They have programs that film remote places and talk about the animals that live there. Even in the deep sea!
I wish I had more time to watch them.

[techmaturgy]

I know we have the Horizon, but even that is limited by our memories.

I would like to see it someday. That level of technology.

private

[ushiri]

Earth is an overwhelming place.

I hear less and less about the rifts and strange creatures here. A good thing?

Re: private

[techmaturgy]

Perhaps. I wouldn't grow complacent.

[bestfuneralever]

oh he was like this engineer guy
but he did this tv show 4 kids in the 90s and like taught kids basic science stuff
it was great when i cld sneak a lil bit of it during playtime on sundays when i was little
i never rly got 2 finish an episode all at once tho

[techmaturgy]

Did you learn anything from him?

[bestfuneralever]

probably???
it was a long time ago && tbh ive done drugs since then
but it was def something i had to seek out on my own
dad thought it was childish/reductive but like my dude we were kids

[techmaturgy]

Some learning is better than no learning. He sounds misguided.

[bestfuneralever]

right???
but yeah thats def a good word for him
among others like asshole && narcissist

[techmaturgy]

My condolences.
