If you can't, then reorganize.

Ideally, one layer totally black, the other completely colorful. then if you ever need to you can strip one layer and become someone else. They're just clothes, they grow on trees in stores. speaking of stores, if you're ever going to do anything spicy, make sure you wear that outfit exactly once, unless it's all black. Jeans are okay too since they all usually look pretty similar. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ chronological │ different │ ╘═════════╧╧═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════────────────────┘ --- #9 fediverse/1846 --- ═════════════════════════════════════════════════════────────────────────────────── If you're running away from something, you need to make sure that you're going fast enough and far enough away that you can look forward for interception events.

Unless they happen to follow someone else, perhaps someone close to you, who wanders a bit too close to land. Or maybe someone who is easily persuaded to let them come along... OR even still, if someone (even yourself) intentionally calls to the same one. This is why it's usually a good idea to forgo hearing their name, if you can, or to have a bad memory like me so you forget it immediately teehee ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ chronological │ different │ ╘═════════╧╧════════════════════════════════════───────────────────────────────────────┘ --- #20 messages/202 --- ═══════════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────────────── It's a good idea to practice getting places without gmaps, after having studied the map at home.
