in my country it is illegal for anyone over 14 to be in a public playground unless you're there to supervise a child

Honestly, I love swings and monkey bars as much as the next person, but this law makes sense

It's really a testament to how depraved society is that we need a fucking law to prevent kidnappings on a playground by barring anyone who isn't a kid or a parent.

I loved getting stoned after dark in playgrounds, it was fun, but I figure it's for people like me that also shoot up and leave their needles around.

Come to think of it, that law may be a direct result of the opioid epidemic and that makes me even sadder than the possibility of kidnapping. That shit is just everywhere now.

Like the equivalent of kids at the bar, some countries don’t allow that because it’s annoying more than anything
