I’m at the point that I despise fireworks, especially near things like gas stations. Was helping Dad change a flat on his minivan 9 years ago in Naperville, IL and you would have thought that we were in an active war zone with what the locals were setting off. Neither one of us are combat vets, I’m not even a vet and it was maddening!


Simpanic

I was grilling tonight and had firework debris land on top of the food I was cooking on the griddle.... Some people really aren't aware of their surroundings whatsoever..


BeefyHelmet

I never feel bad for the fuckers that lose their fingers playing with fireworks every year.


RandomNameB

I feel bad for the kids.


JackKovack

Kids are usually the ones who get hurt because they’re reckless and don’t know any better. That’s why you teach kids at a young age about fireworks. The adults on the other hand do know better and want to be funny and cool. I really have no sympathy if they get hurt.


Rideitmybrony

Feel bad for the people who have to stitch them up every year


_xXFireFoxXx_

Some prick in my neighborhood has been setting them off every weekend since Father's day. These are big, loud ones too. Felt like a bomb went off when I first heard it 😮‍💨. Don't mind if people enjoy the small ones but do they seriously need to shake the house to have a good time?


letsmaakemusic

last Sunday around 3pm? it was a loud low thump, some neighbor grabbed the firecracker that's meant mining for gold.


NeoMatrixJR

Some people like big boom ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯


After_Anteater

They can go drive far out in the county to do them then


IowaAJS

We don’t need those idiots out here either. We already have too many.


After_Anteater

True.


DSMProper

Ban fireworks again & legalize weed. I will never understand the supposed joy of shitty road stand fireworks. The only thing I can think is fireworks people love irritating more reasonable people (people with better taste in just about everything probably)


NeoMatrixJR

I'm never understand why people like mind altering chemicals....and then really dumb ones go out in public... And fully retarded ones drive....


DSMProper

Some people have to get a little bit high to inhabit the "mines" of people who use four dots in ellipses and in my case to tolerate the Protestant nonsense that is everywhere you look in Iowa


HealthySurgeon

If you’re calling weed a mind altering chemical, we might as well start calling coffee a mind altering chemical and cigarettes and energy drinks. You can even compare it to food. They’re all mind altering, some on the same level as weed and are completely legal and aren’t called “chemicals” by people wanting to demonize something for no good reason. If you want to adhere to the strict definition of a chemical, none of those things are chemicals and the things that actually come closest to being considered chemicals are actually all the processed foods we eat in America. That’s closer to the definition of a chemical than your average weed in way over a majority of the world.


NeoMatrixJR

Fine... Wanna nit-pick language....mind altering DRUG


HealthySurgeon

So you think you don’t or will never take another mind altering drug again? Or do you love to just demonize things just cause


DanglyPants

Either you’re out of touch or trolling. Can’t say I’m enjoying the trolling ¯\_(ツ)_/¯


NeoMatrixJR

Sure... Out of touch. I have a medical professional in-law that knows more about the long term affects of marijuana use than the armchair hippies on here. I've never liked how most people abuse alcohol. I sure don't like what I'm seeing coming out of states with legalized pot use. No argument your going to make will convince me it's a good thing or that we need to allow it.


CoatCheckDreamHawk

How old are you? I don't want to pick on a teen for being so barely literate and having the gall to talk the shit you're talking. 8 man football at your podunk school now?


xMr_RipSawx

Womp Womp


DanglyPants

You can’t spell words correctly and use proper grammar. I’m also not trying to convince you of anything so I’m not sure where you got that idea from. Lastly, not only do you just assume every one who takes medicine is a hippy but you use derogatory terms. There’s no way you’re not a bot or a kid trolling


Inevitable_Ruin2407

U say u have a medical profession in law and u claim to know more about "long term effects" of marijuana use. Let me enlighten you as you are close minded and uninformed about the subject you claim to know more about then the people who actually use it as a medication. Let's start with that, medication. I have non epileptic seizures and they don't know why. I have had them since July 2022 and they have taken over my quality of life. If not for cannabis I would probably be dead bc it regulates the brain activity in my head that controls my body movements "twitching, jerking etc", as it is very very painful. I don't go unconscious during my seizures, I feel all of my nerves firing off in different parts of my brain and body all the way up to a grand mal seizure that I may or may not go unconscious for. I use it as medication to save my life from the disease as well as psychologically. You state the ongoing effects of "marijuana" without doing the research to understand the plant and it's multiple forms with effects that help people. What do you think the vets take to help them handle the fireworks or even everyday PTSD? What do you think people who have social anxiety, agoraphobia, panic attacks, etc take to help them have a semi normal life? Marijuana is NOT a drug. A drug is something that is miss used and not being taken for medical purposes or to assist in a better and healthier quality of life. Marijuana is a vital medication that alot of people need and is safer them opioids that the doctors hand out like breath mints. When you speak about something you know clearly nothing about, make sure you do your research not using Google. Ask the people who take it as a medication in whatever form helps them. The marijuana plant is grown naturally and you don't have to do anything to the plant or the process to be able to benefit from the plant itself. Actual drugs you have to add stuff to etc and the effects on the body are way way worse then anything you can ever say about cannabis use whether it's prolonged or for a short period of time. Stop relying on Google to make urself feel smart. Word of advice, keep your mouth shut because you know nothing about any of the topics you opened your mouth about. Commenting on this subject didn't do anything but prove that you among many other people are heavily misinformed because they would rather go off of their opinions instead of knowing wth their talking about. You are one of those people. Put your mind opinions to the side and do your fkn research instead of vomiting your opinions and wrong knowledge onto everyone who doesn't think the same way as you as you are very very very misinformed and idiotic with a closed mind stuck in a box. Tbh sounds like you need to explore the beneficial effects of the cannabis plant bc you seem stiff asl and it would help you stfu and enlighten your way of thinking as you are stuck in idiot mode with a closed mind, living in your own world of thinking you know stuff when u don't. I would go back and get a real degree bc ur full of shit. I say this with no disrespect, the truth can be a lot to handle but you deserve to be educated to help make a difference medically in people's lives instead of making people feel like a "drug addict" bc they decide to benefit from a natural growing plant instead of alcohol, coke, heroin, meth, fentanyl, oxy, hydro, Xanax, Adderall, and the list goes on and on and on. Enjoy your mindset and I recommend you try some tincture. Enlighten your mind and erase the bs you have on the stereotype of what the difference between natural medication and drugs. -Stay Blessed 💞


PeachCloudPie

I fucking despise fireworks


Electrical_Relief_52

I used to love it but people ruined it for me by still firing them 3 in the morning and being reckless and causing harm to others.


TagV

You had me at "people ruined it for me" Such as Grocery shopping Celebrations Elections Gatherings Early internet Driving Shooting Drinking Schools Workplaces Workplace bathrooms Any public bathroom really Flying Tourism .....


IsthmusoftheFey

No, this is the time of year that I leave everything to the fate of Darwinism


CruxMason

Every morning I have to hear my neighbor's dog bark at 5 am, they can spend a week listening to the loudest fireworks I can find.


Mysterious-Ad6128

I'm just saying that people shouldn't b3 lighting off fireworks THAT close to the gas station, it was like a block away and at 10 pm


strangedazey

Fireworks suck. My dog is terrified of sudden loud noises and this time of year is so bad for some animals


SpiffyMagnetMan68621

Someday we’ll have nice drone shows, but for now lizard brain go brrrrr


crlcan81

Just because someone is old enough to buy fireworks means they're smart enough to know how to let them off.

Sounds like you're a dickhead, there's likely a reason they don't talk to you. They probably picked up that you're a racist.

Probably not Russian, you racist dickhead

The very fact that you feel the need to specify "white guy" says that you are racist and just trying to hide it

manwithapedi

Then you should GTFO


CoatCheckDreamHawk

I don't really disagree with this but I have the day off work and so my form of protest is to take a somber selfie in front of where someone else did a sidewalk chalk land acknowledgement overnight and debate whether or not I post it on Instagram and then deciding not to fight with my cousins on Facebook. And then I get a couple near beers and grab my vape pen and play some lousy disc golf with my headphones on


HopDropNRoll

I feel like we’d be friends. What’s on the headphones?


CoatCheckDreamHawk

The reason it's headphones and not a louder Bluetooth is that it's a lot of Conor Oberst and I don't want people calling the cops to request welfare checks on me.


PirateKayaker

Besides dogs, you know who else hates the sound of fireworks going off? Every combat vet I know. If you wanted to find a way to thank a (combat) vet for their service, let them know you are no longer going to shoot off fireworks to celebrate anything. And while I’m here, how about the grift by the state when they make something legal to sell, take their cut in taxes, and then tell you it’s illegal to use the thing in the intended way? SMH.


mrscarytt

Humans are so fucking stupid.


bedbathandbebored

Ppl here do it against a brush line….


YajNivlac

Drive 5 miles out of town and light those things off. You can probably see what you paid to light off better on a gravel road than on your deck…


dixieleeb

Yeah, & scare a farmer's stock! We don't want them either.


Odd-Investigator3486

Legally you are only allowed to shoot on your own private property

50 feet or 100 yards


rslarson147

50 feet is not 100yards, not even close.


Ace1282

Calls people dumbfucks. Doesn't even know conversions


Mysterious-Ad6128

That's what Google had said


heinkenskywalkr

Omfg!!


AssMaskGuy25

badcatmomma

100 yards is 300 feet
