For those of you who might give a fuck, Jake English is gone from the bubble again.
The kid's going to earn himself a title of flighty broad, at this rate.
Maybe the third time's the charm, if our "great and powerful God" deigns to deliver him a third time.
I rather suspect that it's too busy quoting Dirty Harry at us and our delightful circumstance.

Or Missing Marauder, if we're going into this shit for alliteration.
He disappeared before, and didn't remember shit when he got back.
Having someone you know disappear is probably this place's fucking morbid way of making you a part of the old guard.
Lost someone? Now you're a real Vatheon Foreigner.

oH YEAH, tHAT'S A GOOD ONE TOO.
yEAH, tHAT'S UH, k1NDA THE PROBLEM.
wHEN 1 LEFT AND CAME BACK, 1 GET MY VATHEON MEMOR1ES THEY WERE JUST, uH, k1NDA HARD TO REMEMBER.
bUT THEN, 1 WAS GONE FOR ABOUT TWENTY EARTH YEARS 1N MY WORLD 1 TH1NK.
k1NDA A R1GHT OF PASSAGE.
hE'LL SHOW UP AGA1N, aND 1N THE MEAN T1ME, yOU'LL MAKE A LOT OF COOL NEW FR1ENDS TOO, hEY?

I've had plenty of time to do that already.
In the months before he showed up the first time.
And the time after he disappeared the first time.
Amazingly, I do realize that it is possible to exist without my "bff."

hEY 1T CAN BE TOUGH,
1 FELT PRETTY REL1EVED MY BEST FR1END SHOWED UP AGA1N, hEH.
bUT 1T'S NOT SO BAD OTHERW1SE,
pEOPLE HERE ARE ALL R1GHT.
wHAT DO YOU TH1NK YOU'LL DO 1N THE MEAN T1ME?
sAME STUFF?

There isn't anything to do that isn't the same stuff.
Not like we shared a multitude of hobbies.

gUESS YOU'RE R1GHT,
yOU MAKE ANYTH1NG NEW LATELY?
mET ANOTHER TECH JUNK1E LATELY, wELL, 1S 1NTERESTED ANYWAYS,
hE WANTS TO MAKE HOVER BOARDS.

After that post Bro made, I am entirely unsurprised that most of the techies around the bubble are focusing attention on that.
Not to mention hoverboards are just really fucking awesome.
In answer to your question, I have.
I wouldn't be surprised if I knew a large percentage of the people whose interests lie in robotics in the bubble, if only because there aren't that many of us.

gOOD OR A BAD TH1NG?
1 MEAN, tO HAVE A NOT MANY OF PEOPLE W1TH THAT 1NTEREST AROUND?

Some is better than none.
It means I have to look to other interests as well, which is in no way a bad thing.
I can entertain my own damn self, anyway.

aLWAYS SEEMED LIKE MORE OF A PEOPLE PERSON TO ME,
1 GUESS.
bUT 1 COULD ALSO JUST BE WRONG, hEH.

There are occasions when it's preferable.
Then there are times when it's not.
In summary, I'm whatever I damn well want to be, and on occasion, a people person is what that is.

1 DON'T TH1NK PEOPLE HAVE THAT MUCH CONTROL OVER 1T.
1T'S K1ND OF JUST,
sOMETH1NG THAT HAPPENS.
cAN'T MAKE YOURSELF WANT COMPANY TO NOT WANT 1T.
yOU JUST K1ND OF DO, oR DON'T.

And I presume this advice is drawn from your own deep wells of experience.

nO, oF COURSE NOT.
1 NEVER MESS UP, 1 ALREADY JUST KNOW BETTER.
