    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.

    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…

    How soon before people start getting offers to buy their lemmy accounts?

    Once I hit 100k karma on reddit, I started getting clearly automated messages from brand new accounts offering to purchase my account for anywhere from a $25 roblox gift card to several hundred dollars.

    And while I sure could have used that money, I used my old username on almost everything and wasn’t about to turn my username into a shill for a company.

    Idk what the going rate is nowadays but 100k karma, started around my account being 6ish years old, filled with thousands of comments and dozens of posts stretching back to 2010/2011. That is how you properly troll.

    But hey, if they want to make it easy to spot…

    Another anecdote for the “Springs Be Scary” list, I was helping my brother in law put theirs up two years ago, and similarly had trouble with the last spring.

    We were using the tool included in the packaging, a little T post handle with a small hook on the end, sort of like one of those livestock processing hooks they use to grab heavy things with, just a lot smaller. And not sharp.

    Well the last spring was being pulled back when the metal hook broke out of the handle, and shot into the nearby house window and broke one of the bottom panes.

    Nobody was hurt, but with all the kids excitedly sprinting around, that metal bit was flying at eye level to 3 or 4 of them… Someone could have lost an eye.

    Springs under load are scary as fuck, ask any garage door tech.
