Most of the modern internet is indistinguishable from what we used to call malware (hexbear.net)

Every site is trying to pull a Bonzai Buddy now.

"We need all your info for advertising, not you can't opt out unless you make an account and give us your email. Oops, looks like I hid the opt-out under a subheader. Amazon is now profiling you."

WE USED TO CALL THAT SHIT A VIRUS.

ITS EVERY. FUCKING. WEBSITE. NOW

"Hi I'm going to block this entire site until you give me your info, this is very cool and normal."

Capitalism ruined the internet. The whole thing is malware now.

Yeah. It's hard to find one where you don't pay, and they tend to be nasty or uncomfortable for other reasons (men really need to learn to sit down for cleanliness' sake smh + public drunkness being allowed means being shitfaced and all that entails is also allowed) - in Germany there are toilets on most trains and highway parking lots (not truck stops/gas stations!)

A company called Sanifair has a de facto monopoly on public toilets and they want as much as 1€ per visit.

Not sure if true, but the reason why the USA doesn't have paid ones is an organized vandalism campaign against them in the 1970s according to something I once read.

Well I'm not in the USA, just living in another Angloid country.

I mean yeah you're sort of right, it's a gamble finding clean public toilets because it's up to the city/town's council to invest in constant cleaning from their budget. The city near me where I work has their main public toilets very well looked after, so I'm used to the high standard.
