Yeah 90% of the time the restrooms are where you’d expect them to be but there’s always a restaurant once in a while where you have to walk past the kitchen, make three left turns and gain passage from a troll by answering his riddles three before you find them.

That's just weatherspoons

I may have sucked robodick, fucked a robot in the exhaust, been fucked by robots & enjoy it to the exclusion of human partners; at least I'm not a goddamn :roboluv:
I'll be honest I thought Rothko squares were a joke until I actually saw one.

Walk round the corner at this gallery and BAM, I nearly fell backwards down the loving stairs. The thing was massive and it was doing something to my brain. Like those Shepard tones that always seem to be getting higher forever. This white rectangle getting more and more intense and squished endlessly somehow.

Don't knock it till you've stared at a few real ones, is all I'm sayin.

Nobody should ever ask an employee of a restaurant where the bathrooms are.
Why not though? Regardless of how difficult it may or may not be to find the toilets in any given establishment, what's the actual problem with asking?

I think they're saying that the asking should be unnecessary as the location of the bathroom should be obvious, not that the asking itself is the problem

And re: art chat, all art is good but you should always take art chat with the world's largest grain of salt. The hacks actually are hacks - their worth is assigned retroactively after they are adopted into the correct social scenes or investment portfolios

People who hate modern art just never read the work of art in the age of mechanical reproduction or it made them really mad and they try to ignore it or something

A tangled skein of bad opinions, the hottest takes, and the the world's most misinformed nonsense. Do not engage with me, it's useless, and better yet, put me on ignore.
On bathrooms:

gently caress you for requiring a passcode. Let me in your loving bathroom. The loving city ordinance or whatever says you're a public place and you have to have a restroom; don't make me loving wander around your stupid store/restaurant, locate the bathroom which itself is secretly hidden just beyond the EMPLOYEES section, and then have to track down an employee (and they will hide) so I can beg for the secret code that will allow me to piss somewhere other than in the middle of your aisle.

When I was in Denver recently trying to find a bathroom and failing I finally gave in and bought a coffee somewhere so I was allowed access. Immediately after I saw a man making GBS threads on the street between two parked cars and could only side with the street shitter, the city was asking for it.

There isn't a single free toilet in Stockholm, and when I found out I had to pay 5 crowns to do a poo I spent like half an hour there just lounging. It was quite nice. (May have been Åhléns, I don't remember.)

We had some poor confused woman come into our very obviously not open to the public warehouse asking to use the bathroom because every store at the strip mall across the street told her no. Public bathrooms kinda went away here with Covid. Now absolutely everywhere is just "employees only" unless it's a bar, restaurant, or chain establishment.

Unpopular opinion: I kinda like Teslas. I think they’re kinda cool in that people are allowed to buy and operate concept cars with unproven technology. In about 15 years I bet the cars are gonna be really good. A few dead drivers is a small price to pay for a future with Johnny Cabs and all cars able to go 0-60 in 4 seconds.
