Should they not care to their surroundings, they should degrade, and with care and affection they should flourish. This is how God learns the most from people. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧══════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/1792 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════────────────────────────────────── ┌──────────────────────┐ │ CW: re: AI, furries │ └──────────────────────┘ @user-1040 @user-1077 ... I am disabled people also, all media is propaganda also, AI as it's currently presented is not AI also, AI as it's currently presented is only bad because of the stolen content and energy usage. Both of those are trivially solvable. also, capitalism is why AI as it's currently presented can harm you also, I'm sorry I disagree ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧══════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/1793 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════────────────────────────────────── @user-246 a short whistled tune that you both know? it's a classic ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧══════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/1794 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════────────────────────────────────── @user-246 if you hike slowly enough to not get out of breath, you'll have plenty of time to practice :) could also practice hand whistling: https://www.wikihow.com/Hand-Whistle if mouth whistling just doesn't work. but in the short term, maybe a loud CAW or KACAW like you're a crow? if you're trying to be subtle, like in a public place where people might hear you, maybe you could say something people would expect to hear like "wait up!" followed by "me too!" or even "GOOD MORNING!" or other greeting, said a little bit louder than necessary - people will assume you're either talking to someone far away, or they themselves will be far away and will assume the voice is coming from someone closer than you. Ideally spoken with the same tone and inflection as normal speech, just louder, which is hard to do so make sure you practice - a yelling voice sounds different than a speaking voice, but a whisper can reach across a room if spoken loud enough. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧══════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/1795 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════────────────────────────────────── @user-246 back-track, but leave a leaf in the center of the trail at every turn. Like breadcrumbs. If you're both backtracking you might miss one another and walk much further than necessary. But if you're backtracking and you've left enough leaf signs without meeting your partner, you can safely stop and wait for them for a bit. Nature can handle it. A leaf or five isn't that big of a deal when your safety is on the line. If it's windy, use a stick or a stone or something heavier It also depends on how far apart you usually travel. If you're in an urban area, could use a small brightly colored post-it cut into small strips placed on a wall high-up as you can reach. Though that requires preparation. If you can't prepare, you could use other signs that make sense in the space around you, like a coffee cup taken from a trash-can and placed next to it, or something. Downside is (is this really a downside?) most people are good and so will judge you for littering but safety in situations is important. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧══════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/1796 ═════════════════════════════════════════════════────────────────────────────────── ┌──────────────────────────────────────┐ │ CW: food-mentioned-cursing-mentioned │ └──────────────────────────────────────┘ I'm just now realizing that my favorite ramen seasoning is essentially salt, MSG, and a fuckload of smoked paprika.
