Small dogs are tiny demons sent to prepare us for hell
Tiny soprano doggy knows to be afraid of the giant monster who can make such a basso profundo deep BORK!!!
I love my dogs but I haven’t actually laughed out loud at a thing I saw on the Internet in so long but this did if
That’s my dad’s dog. I hate the thing. This gave me a good laugh
I love the dog; I hate the yapping. I love the fireworks; I FUCKING hate how they scare the poor thing.
If people weren’t such assholes, it would be a cultural thing to have a designated area where everyone could shoot off their fireworks. Instead, people shoot them off whenever they please in their neighborhood, and they all get banned if the local authorities have the power, and people STILL shoot them off whenever they please because who is going to still be outside by the time the fucking brain dead cops come around.
Could you imagine if people would get together to shoot off their fireworks? A party of 10 would put the average paid for fireworks display to shame, and there’s going to be loads more than 10 people in your average area that would be shooting off fireworks. Too bad we can’t have nice things because ‘cunt, cunt, rumble, rumble, I’m so fiercely independent, engine rev, engine rev.’
Professional fireworks shows exist and are usually free of charge, in parks and on beaches, sponsored by cities for this very reason.
Nah, anyone who has ever shot off their own fireworks knows that professional shows are idiotic. It is incredibly more fun to light your own, scramble back, and watch it blow. It’s not even a comparison. It’s the difference between watching a movie on the original gameboy instead of an imax theater. If you never had the chance to do it as a kid, don’t deprive your kids of the fun.
We just need a place that’s available for folks, relatively safe in not being a fire risk, and is NOT in a neighborhood or near ranches/farms, although I bet the county/city could rent a rancher’s field or pay enough to relocate the cattle for a few nights. Pay for a few busses, and you’ve got a slick set up.
It’s the same argument as with illicit drugs. Ban it, and people are just going to seek it out on their own. Regulate it, and you can start playing with all sorts of scenarios. How far would education go in reducing the amount of suddenly splayed hands that emergency rooms have to see? How many fires and traumatized folks/animals would suddenly no longer have to hear it if you encourage it to happen elsewhere instead of simply attempting to forbid it? You could offer a free mortar round to anyone taking a safety briefing before entering the fireworks grounds, or free ice cream for fifteen minutes of fire watch duty on the edges and/or any other prosocial activities you could get kids and teens up to.
I have a friend who blows things and people up for a living, safely but dramatically. It’s fun and educational. But he does no explosions in July because the danger of wildfire is too high.
