But what if I get confused and accidentally call him Randall?

This is LITERALLY WORSE THEN DEATH!

-LITERALLY Republican Voters!

Old habits die hard

"Better dead than red" is another dumb take like that.

If you wanna die instead of having free healthcare then goodbye.

Still, try though.

That's why it's important to make sure you kill them until they are dead.

Die Hardman doesn't die easy. It's very hard to kill him.

I just call everyone Hey or Hi or Hello and it sometimes works most of the time

One caveat, if I’ve known that person for a long time it takes a while to make their new name and/or pronouns an automatic thing. I might get it wrong, please correct me, I’m not trying to be a dick

Yeah, a lot of things are very easy in a comic. I mean, in a comic a cat's favorite food is lasagna FFS.

This is good, but also remind yourself to correct yourself, too. It'll make the learning much faster. If you get it wrong, use the new name in three sentences to yourself after using the wrong one.

Is that the new Bruce Willis movie?

Jadzia my beloved old friend!

A "Hey, dude" works for all occasions

We all make mistakes but I've found changing names and pronouns can be done surprisingly quickly actually! Honest mistakes are fine. And also far from malicious intent. Just try, really, and you'll get used to it in no time.

I mean. It takes me really a long time to consitantly recall a name for a face. I have a wierd memory where its really hard to memorize thing but once I do its like there forever or decades anyway if not used for that period.

I'm fuckin horrible at names. I can remember a face forever though.

once I had visited San Francisco and was walking along Chinatown and saw someone I knew from back home 2000 miles east. I instantly recognized them as someone knew, but they didn't recognize me. turns out they had family near me and I had seen them in passing while working retail.

it was such an unusual occurrence that I doubt either of us forgot to this day.

Then you're in a different comic, but this is clearly not xkcd

Depends. Knew someone for years as xyz but now they're abc. It took me... Longer than I care to admit to change my brain. It's like muscle memory, idk.

But I also think that is entirely beside the point of the comic.

It really is different from person to person

I seen't it on the internet....
