Even when you CAN do this, it's usually because the employees are either kind enough or inattentive enough to let you do this. And if you are clearly unhoused or poor, your chances of being able to do this are much, much lower than if you can fit in in a middle class white area. (Restaurants with predominantly poor clientele or many homeless people nearby tend to be much stricter about this.)

I guess the one argument for "public restrooms" is rest areas along major highways and restrooms in public (usually national or state, not little municipal) parks.

So we do have public restrooms...they're just nowhere near 99% of the population most of the time.

I think the reason some people might believe this claim is because we're taught in school that the moon's gravity causes the tides. I think the reasoning goes, "well if the moon's gravity can affect the tides, surely it can affect smaller things too"

There are 1.9 BILLION Muslims globally.

You think the vast majority of them are fundamentalists?

I've been using Notally for a while and I think it checks all your boxes.

I don't get why you'd think it would be censored? If anything the movie skewers US capitalism, so the CCP would probably be happy for folks to see it.
