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.

    My argument is what the fuck are you celebrating? Did you get enough of your freedums this year?

      Okay, now say that about literally any holiday aside from the one you personally dislike and see how it holds up.

        Halloween. Celebrating recruitment into the skeleton army. Duh? What an insane take. My valid criticisms are invalid since other holidays exist.

          You used a bullshit apples to oranges comparison for your bullshit criticism. You didn’t say New Years or Juneteenth, actual fireworks holidays, because it highlights how stupid your “get over it” argument is.

            I’m just going to chalk this up to either you misreading, misunderstanding, or just being a fucking idiot.

              I really have no idea what you were saying then. Are you saying people shouldn’t celebrate the 4th because a rapist is currently in charge? Or that doing it every year ad infinitum is too much?

              Either way I stand by what I said. Let people have their fireworks and stop being a grumpy old fuck about it.
