I have learned if I am ever in a life or death situation no matter how many guns are available to me I am only allowed to carry two.
probably the Tetris Syndrome or whatever people call it. Its made it so we're even more space efficient, which makes Humanity even more able to do more in its technological advancement.
If I'm chased by cops, I should turn a corner and hide in an alley. After that, I'll be free forever.
