I’m going out with a girl after work and we’re gonna play in the park.
(It’s my wife and I’ll be riding my bike while she tries to get used to inline skates again. We’re in our 30s.)
But for real I miss being able to just… Enjoy a playground. Go throw rocks at the creek with friends. Have sword battles with sticks we found while walking by the trees.
But if I do that, people call the cops because some old guy is clearly confused and wandering around…
Cops can’t do shit. Go have fun my dude
An adult man wandering around a playground with no kids of his own, they can find some reasons to do something at a certain point.
I still get weird looks sporadically taking my daughter to the park.
I’ve had the cops called on me for taking my niece and nephew to the park a few blocks away from their house.
Nobody came to ask why I was there or which ones were mine.
Just two cops sneaking up behind me, grabbing my shoulders, hands on their guns demanding to know if I’m there with kids or I just like to fuck them.
My niece ended up calling her mother on their emergency phone and she sprinted down.
Never got an apology from anyone except my sister, who had nothing to apologize for.
I’ve had more amicable, but still very much confrontational encounters with people assuming I’m there for nefarious purposes.
I tend to avoid parks unless I’m with someone because of that.

This comment was reported for wishing for violence. Chalking it up to venting, but please try and keep your outrage somewhat in check.
Both these comments read like Russian 4chan fanfiction trying too hard at drumming up incel support.

Nazis gon nazi.
Thanks though, corrected.
Nighttime skateboarding down at the street light was good times with the friends…
Every time we did something like that my friends are like: this is so fun, we should do that more often. This was 10 years ago. Last time i was out with all of my friends: why don’t we do that more often? That was almost a year ago. Is that just my friends?
@[email protected] Please try to keep memes here to those somewhat related to solarpunk. After the ‘western democracy’ post, we/I are considering screening out content that doesn’t fit. It doesn’t have to be a great fit - just somehow geared towards solar punk
Just make a ”solarpunkmemes” community instead of gutting this one
You know what, that’s on me. On my end it just says “memes” unless I go to the community page itself
Why the heck is this in solarpunk memes
IKR, I just read the community info, and all it contained was guidelines about what not to post.
What’s supposed to be here? I’m lost.
I am a lost Leeming.
Used to play disc golf with the guys after work years back. Good times
See if they’re available, I bet you’ll get one or two back real quick.
This actually surprised me, i haven’t met my school friends for a long time, met 2 of them when i was on my field job. We talk about how things were back then and how fun playing Source CS, Halflife, Warcraft 3 LAN. I asked if they wanted to play it again on the weekend and it surprised me that 7 out of 10 people who i used to hang out can do it that day.
That would be great once the heat index gets down to double digits.
Bring the weed pen and some mountain dew playa, I’m otw with the pup

I might if it wasn’t a billion degrees outside from late -April though mid-October.
