It gets fun when the side thought is longer than the original and starts getting side thoughts of its own. The context needs more context or nobody will get it.

I use paragraphs in those cases and then I don't usually remember but if I did I would add reference numbers, kinda like this¹

¹ it's very useful when you have multiple parentheses at different points, I still haven't solved the problem of nesting them unfortunately, so I welcome any suggestions
