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.
When your one nice and fun thing directly removes someone else’s nice and fun things, your nice and fun thing sucks.
Your enjoyment of things cannot exist by removing other people’s happiness. Fireworks trigger severe PTSD, cause pets a lot of anxiety, and can literally kill them.
If your fun activity is killing dogs and sending humans into a massive panic attack, your fun thing kind of fucking sucks ass and you should stop doing it.
Every single thing you enjoy is harmful. Every joy you have can have some level of guilt associated with it. Fireworks aren’t an exception, you just don’t like them so you justify that dislike by pointing out the harm, and ignore the harm you do every day with the things you, personally, enjoy.
Me reading on my deck, or playing video games in my office doesn’t cause someone else to have a massive panic attack or traumatic PTSD episode you wanker.
