Quick survey:
1 - What do you do for work here?
2 - What did you do back home?
3 - What's your skillset?

( note: personally, I'm cool with threadjacking in my posts as long as the other person is too, go to town. )

You have no idea. Truly painful.

Sounds like the kind of thing that would make you think about staying here instead of catching a train back home.

Eh, it's dangerous but I had my friends and a boyfriend back home. My best friend is here with me, but otherwise, I'd still rather be there than here. Not enough to poke at the Singularity mind you.

[freightcars]

If you could bring them here, would you stay?

Just a hypothetical.

[itookashot]

Good question. My guess is no, because I don't think they'd want to stay, and I go where they go (when it's my choice). But if they were to appear tomorrow and we were to start over here and be doing well, who am I to argue with such a beneficial turn of events.

[freightcars]

Fair enough

[itookashot]

Do you want to stay here?

[freightcars]

Hell no
Don't get me wrong, it's nice not to get noticed anymore, but I miss fast food and TV too much to stick around permanently.

[itookashot]

Oh you were famous back home? Rich famous or other famous?

[freightcars]

The not good kind of famous

[itookashot]

[ Jesper wonders what the not good kind of famous is, but to be fair, he and his friends are intentionally not famous. You can't do their work and be famous. ]

But this 'tv' is worth it?

[freightcars]

It's more about what the TV represents
The TV is a metaphor

[itookashot]

What is a TV?

[freightcars]

It's like a small electric box you watch shows on. Like plays, I guess, if you're not familiar with the term. They're not live in real time or anything, they're recorded and constantly streamed.

Any of that sound familiar? You guys have radios? I have no idea how far back I should make these references.
