Are there any positives to fireworks? Got a ton of them going off near my house. Some people say it’s for Diwali, some people say a town near us is celebrating some anniversary. Both seem equally unlikely, but in any case, it’s just loud as shit, fucks up the air quality, scares all the animals, every fucking dog in my neighborhood has started barking. Subjective I suppose but they’re really not worth all the negatives.

Edit: turns out that some dude around here, his dog had a seizure bc of fireworks tn. I think the dog is okay but yeah, fuck fireworks

      i once spent a particularly memorable 4th of july watching a former marine melt into a ptsd induced puddle

      it was like gravity was physically bolting him to the floor, he just writhed and whined and cried on the outside deck all night

      even aside from the (admitted) murders he did he was a big ol' piece of shit so that was pretty good
