Probably not.. to that point of ridicule of 'appearance' - of the sort most folks really can't repair enough: to fit the (the other's) plastic-beauty illusion
(but ya never know what goes on after the door closes).
As to a sensible response to the environment {Hah!}
With you on that end; taking Any of this daily crap with a great deal of internal seriousness! is to utterly miss -Zoooom- what sages have been tellin us for eons. It's a fucking Play, people!
Only sometimes.. .. 3 or 4 stupid-ass tales in a row can prompt a certain acid reflux about that other definition of 'base' and a misplaced idea that maybe one could? flame terminal-suckiness away. Yeah sure - maybe with a petawatt laser.
