in whichever branch of the multiverse has alternate me by some bizarre chance hosting you at a dinner party, remember to not take off your shoes. alternate me will meet you in your own ethical framework and confiscate them for himself when you're not paying attention.
If you include: "Oh, btw, if you take off your shoes, I'm keeping them" on the party invite, and follow up with quarterly updates that you're going to be taking everyone's shoes, it would be my own fault for going, wouldn't it?
