-2020 onwards: shut playgrounds & skate parks-children must remain inside & go online for their social interactions
-2025: all children are now banned from being online for their social interactions & must go outside

I now have 10,000 followers here but over 5.9 million at the other place. If you want Me to switch for good I need you to get the word out that I'm here, pathetically desperate for worship (just like in real life), and filled with even more contempt for you here than I was there.
