- Your post must be a screen capture of a microblog-type post that includes the UI of the site it came from, preferably also including the avatar and username of the original poster. Including relevant comments made to the original post is encouraged.
- Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
- You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
- Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
- Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If a post is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.

Because tiktok is the only social platform that exists. Because libraries don't exist. Because teens never go to the movie theater like their parents did.
My sibling in Christ you posted this on a social platform used by minors that is not under threat by the government
Some people just want to be angry.
From OP:
Movie theathers are also stupid expensive. Not something the average teen can do on a regular basis
For real. It's one of about a dozen social media apps. It also happens to be one of the biggest pieces of spyware and is legit controlled by the Chinese State. Like, people....just because it's full of candy, puppies, and people dancing, doesn't mean it has good intentions.
...and going to a park, the beach, hiking, swimming...
A bunch of teenagers hanging out in a park are definitely going to have the cops called on them, no matter what they're doing.
Where is this the case? Unimaginable here in Canada.
Clearly it's a US-only thing, but even back in the 90s when me and my nerdy friends decided to brave the sunshine and hang out in a park we'd have the cops pull up and ask us to leave.
All of the parks in my area cater to parents of kids under 10, so anyone who's not there with a child of that age is immediately suspicious, especially to nosy Karens. Hell, I'd get nasty looks from moms when I would take my own kids to the park.
In which land, north korea?
