A few years ago I stumbled onto this staircase in a parking garage:
World’s Most Useless Staircase
Like what does this even do?!
Oh and the railings! Don’t get me started on the railings! They serve no purpose in this room other than to block off half the space.

Me: after procrastinating for two weeks I'll finally take the fancy test that my therapist send me - how long can it be? 200 questions at worst?
The test:

Thinking about Adrestia’s muhritocracy -
In a support that cannot exist in a first run of Tru Piss, Manu says this to a lizard :
Here's the thing about the opera. Talent isn't enough to earn you a position in a glamorous show.
You need money, connections, and, failing those, the stomach to commit a spot of violence.
I spent many nights buttering up nobles in power.
No matter how humiliating the task, I'd do it. Because I wanted to be a star.
That was the case in the Adrestia from Manu’s time, so maybe it would change under Supreme Leader?
Well...
Manu misses her youth, or the time where she was at her “prime” ; in other words, an era where her talent was peerless.
But Manu ages like everyone, and her “merit” and “talent” suddenly don’t matter anymore, because they disappear/decrease with age. Manu can’t sing like Doro does.
I think it was somehow deliberate to show the only “commoners” from the Adrestia be performers in the entertainment industry, where even in real life (talking about idols here) you reach a peak at, let’s say, around 20, and then it’s the end.
No matter how hard you worked or how much talent you have, once you reach Manu’s age (37!) you are not “talented” anymore, and in a meritocracy, if you have no merit, where do you land?
Doro and Manu want to find a (rich) husband as fast as possible, because they are aware their talents - don’t get me wrong, they worked to become professional singers - are only temporary.
So, uh, yeah.
If “merit” suddenly becomes everything, would it change a lot of things for Manu and Doro? Well... (Un)Surprisingly not.
They’d still have value as long as they’re young and can be popstarts, but when that talent starts to fade...
There’s no Church to hire you?

You know, I constantly criticise myself for my relationship with food and correlated anxieties - but MAYBE when you get extremely nauseous after eating something unusual you are kind of justified in considering food a potential threat.
At least a little bit.
