    They done vanished in big cities forty years ago. Finding a bathrooms can be impossible depending on where you are. If your not a customer you might as well just save some time and shit and piss yourself.

    I have seen so many videos of people begging to use the bathroom while employees or cops laugh at them soiling themselves. It is inhumane and degrading.

      Even tough i’m not old and a man, a privilegied one, i’m horrified by the lacks of sanitation. Those public toilet are paid…either you must go in a coffee or restorant or you must find a hidden place.

      The few public toilet available are also very dirty…i simply don’t understand this lack of public service. Nor why some people threat them very badly…

          Dunno for other country but in france it is worrying and awful. That would be the main reason where i don’t want to be a woman.

              Well, i think associations and collectives are the best place to live in france because we listen to each other, there is lot solidarity. As the city faux-la-montagne, or collective habitation. It is also disconnected to society and offer us a fresh bowl of air.

              With Macron, RN, climate change…i’m worried and i believe we will face soon a huge tidal wave even with a leftist governement.

              I may be wrong, but the tiping point of this whole mess will be the lacks of water and ressources as metal becoming more and more expensive due to their scarcity. It has already started.

                I know.

                I left beginning of 2023 and felt that it was going to go very bad…

                I feel though that yes you are right about scarcity but it is very much caused bc it is purposefully creating the rules for that to happen…

                  Maybe we should build a shelter together. At least we can have a peace of mind and enjoy our time. I would also invite the cute Owl. :)
