Maria's karaoke suggestion reminded me I was thinking we should do something social again. We've had more than thirty new people since the July 4th thing. Anyone else up for a rooftop BBQ on Friday afternoon?

It's a pity there aren't tv rooms or something for each floor. There's something to be said for random social encounters in shared spaces.

And just for fun... if you had to give a 20 minute speech or presentation with no time to prepare, what topic would you choose?

(Yes, I am bored, is it obvious?)

	I feel like it should be a lot easier to imagine living in a world where so few people have super powers. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	What do you mean? Your world's the one that sounds like a headache. People are always going to admire a gaggle of kids with powers. You know how much free shit I got? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

It's like imagining a world where literally everyone except maybe a dozen people can only draw at the same level as, say, a six year old. At first it's fine, but then you start thinking about how many things actually rely on the ability to accurately represent how something appears - without being able to photograph or film it. How many things simply wouldn't be possible to accomplish, so they either wouldn't exist at all or they'd be the responsibility of people who just happened to have a talent that they might not even actually enjoy or would rather only do as a hobby, not as a life path that demands total commitment.

While in my world it's just like "I see, so during a full lunar eclipse you gain the ability to transform into a goat. Okay, but what breed? because we've already got a guy who does a chamois."

	Keeping in mind that I haven't slept in like three days, I didn't understand a thing of what you said there. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
