Editor’s note: this is a post about American Independence Day celebrations

Alright, I’m going to launch explosives around your house. For several hours. Yes it is dangerous and terrible for wildlife and the environment. And yes your pets will get sick from eating the debris and you will feel terrorized inside your own home.

No you can’t opt out of it. Everyone is doing it and frankly it’s weird that you don’t want to.

No you can’t be the one launching the explosives you need a license for that. You can however launch these marginally smaller ones though. Yeah just whenever you want. 2am sounds great.

So anyway, fireworks were a mistake and it’s never too early to start reminding you of that.

    Oh noooo, you don’t like fireworks? Maybe fuck off somewhere else for that one day then? It’s not like it comes unexpectedly. For fuck sakes, they even made it a holiday so you CAN go somewhere if you choose to. Don’t want to go somewhere? Get some fucking headphones then.

    People have fun setting off fireworks, it’s part of a celebration. You might as well be complaining about kids playing in front of your house. Maybe recognize that part of living in society is that it’s not always about you?

      Lol “That one day”. They’ve been going off nightly for at least three weeks now and it’s only going to get worse after the 4th.

      Why don’t you fuck off and set off your bombs in an unpopulated area? You’re the one shelling my house, you fuck off

        I don’t know, maybe because we live in a society that has chosen to have a couple days of celebration where it’s 100% ok to do so? Rather than the entire population having to go somewhere else so that your precious little ears don’t hear fireworks, maybe you could just stop being such a whiney bitch about it?

      I don’t like fireworks because the mortars used to launch them sound identical to the mortars lobbed at me with the intent to kill me while overseas. Plus, it freaks out my dog
