    When did Chapo.Chat become NextDoor?

    You know who mostly lights off fireworks? Fucking poor people trying to have like 6 seconds of fun once a year.

    Critical support for fireworks.

    *looks like this needs an edit. Just as a bunch of you are triggered by fireworks, I'm triggered by people complaining about fireworks because the only place I've been exposed to it is on NextDoor, where absolutely gross affluent white people --mostly new-to-the-neighborhood gentrifiers-- try to get SWAT teams called on poor POC who are partying in their backyards on holidays like they have for generations. There's gotta be some middle ground.

      My neighbors set off fireworks every. Single. Night. For months. At like 10pm when I'm trying to sleep. And not small ones. Giant ones that literally make me bolt up in my sleep and make my heart race. Louder than a gunshot.

        Just wanna say I love your username. Gundam Wing rules and I'll fight anyone who disagrees.

        Also, co-signed on fuck fireworks, and fuck your neighbors.

        Go ask them to stop.

        Or get some of your own, louder fireworks. And set them off when they go to bed at 2am.

            I can literally feel the noise from the firework in my chest after going through my closed window. Earplugs wouldn't help

              Why would you discount a legit fear someone has that their neighbors would be hostile? You complete asshole.

                Are you serious? Someone can have a legit fear and also can be jumping to the most extreme conclusion and I can have sympathy for that and also point out that it's extreme. All that can exist at once without you calling me an asshole.

                  Your response is definitely an asshole response. If that was not your intention, you should explain more in your initial post.

          The problem is they only ever set off a single firework. A single giant fucking firework. So I can't tell which neighbor does it, it could be one of like 5 houses. And I live in a rougher neighborhood and I cannot imagine some skinny looking white dude awkwardly knocking on doors asking them to stop is going to produce anything. Plus I'm sure they know they're being dipshits, I cannot imagine they would stop if asked. And fuck calling police.

              im in seattle and there are rumors that chuds or government bad men are going around in predominately black neighborhoods (like mine) and setting them off to "condition" people. but that sounds super stupid.

        I love how at the slightest sign of struggle you guys are cussing me out. I won't presume to know your upbringing, but I grew up incredibly poor in an incredibly diverse area (though of course everything is still segregated). And poor people figure out ways to have money for certain entertainment and luxuries. Like fucking cars, drugs and fireworks.

        And fireworks aren't "dumb." They are exciting as fuck. Aside from people with actual fucking PTSD or fucking terrified pets and shit, I get the vibe it's mostly over-educated dorks who also hate things like sports hate fireworks.
