@userinsaaa Il y a l’aspect stress aussi, après 40-45 tout paraît dramatique problématique dangereux. Il y a moins de légèreté et de confiance en la vie. Un peu comme apprendre à conduire à 18 ans ou à 40. J’ai eu mon dernier à 37, je pense le plomber avec mon stress
the marie kondo "does this spark joy?" method of decluttering never worked for me, but an ADHD tiktoker just changed my entire life by introducing
"the poop rule: if this object had poop on it, would you wash it off, or throw it away?”
Je vois de plus en plus de gens pratiquer au premier degré, sûrs d'être parfaitement dans leur droit, un type de répartie qui, avec l'époque où j'étais ado, était seulement utilisée pour faire de l'humour du style "j'tai cassé, han".
@TisaniereMamie Culture du clash…
D’autant que le réconfort que certains inconnus peuvent vous procurer, par de la gentillesse pure et gratuite, est inouï
Les jeunes français ne sont pas fainéants : quand l'offre de travail est abondante et payée à sa juste valeur, ils sont prêts à partir à l'autre bout du monde pour se flinguer le dos 12h par jour.
Ce n'est pas vous le problème, c'est ce pays qui ne récompense pas le labeur.
A French ad company once pitched the city of Paris on a strange deal: let us put ads on your bus stops, and we'll build you public toilets that clean themselves every time someone uses them. Paris now has 435 of them on its sidewalks. Taxpayers paid nothing.
The toilets are called Sanisettes. JCDecaux invented them in 1981 and put the first two near the Centre Pompidou museum. They cost 1 franc back then. The city made them free in 2006. People used them 18 million times in just the first nine months of 2025.
The cleaning is what people film and share. After you walk out, the door locks. The floor swings open. Jets spray the toilet, the walls, and the floor with disinfectant. The whole cabin gets a wash. About 30 seconds later, the door unlocks for the next person. If you try to walk in during the cycle, the door doesn't open. There's also a 15-minute timer inside, so you can't move in.
Cities don't pay for any of this. JCDecaux builds the toilets, installs them, cleans them, and maintains them with their own staff (who, by the way, stay on the job for an average of 18 years). In exchange, the city lets the company sell ads on bus stops, info displays, and other things on the sidewalk. JCDecaux pulled in nearly €4 billion in revenue last year doing this around the world.
This same trade was offered to New York. In 2006, NYC signed a $1.4 billion deal for 20 of these toilets plus 3,300 bus shelters. Two decades later, only 7 toilets are in service. The rest spent years sitting in a warehouse in Queens. The reasons get bureaucratic fast: neighborhood boards rejecting locations, state laws getting in the way, fights over wheelchair access, fights over which agency cleans them. Paris was swapping in 7 new toilets every single week during its 2024 rollout. New York managed 7 in 20 years.
The same model now runs in 28 countries. The full network is 2,500 toilets strong, used by over 30 million people every year. Berlin alone has 278 of them, the second-biggest network in the world. San Francisco, Stockholm, Lagos, and Abidjan all use the same trade. Nobody pays except the advertisers.
A private ad company has been keeping millions of strangers in 28 countries from peeing on the street, for free, for 45 years now. And most cities still can't pull it off.
