    The expanded form of this sentence:

    Toilet won’t give you loo roll unless you visit an arbitrary web page on your personal device and allow people to possibly extract personal information about you, along with implicit knowledge of when and where you might have used a toilet.

    Apparently it’s unwise to forget your handy 12" pry bar when shitting in China? Those TP dispensers aren’t exactly Fort Knox to begin with, just try withholding it from me after I take a massive dump.

        Fable’s morality system was actually realistic if you assume it’s depicting what it’s like to be rich and privileged.

        The -1 score made me think of how it wouldn’t matter if you could just donate money to get it back.

      Just the screen? I’d have that entire thing in pieces before I left.

        But someone, totally not me, shat on the floor. You’d have to smell that for a while.

    Actually I understand the point of this, and it’s not just to make money. I have read in several places that many public toilets in China have a problem of people stealing all the toilet paper to use at home. That means you basically have to bring your own toilet paper because there won’t be any in the stall. This is a way of fixing that.

      …and it’s not to make money.

      Then why have adverts? Why not just a button on a timer? Don’t delude yourself.

      Society creates a situation where something as basic as toilet paper becomes an expense someone can’t afford so they steal it and you understand the point of them doing this… I don’t think you do.

        I can understand that. Doesn’t make it okay to steal from the public stall though. That’s not stealing from some big faceless business, that’s stealing from your fellow human who will then come to the stall and have no toilet paper.
