  • Backyard fireworks, yes. Professionally done fireworks at a planned place and time, no.

    Professionally done fireworks are usually pretty amazing and fun to watch. They usually happen right around 9pm and last 15-30 minutes.

    Backyard fireworks in dense neighborhoods are pretty fucking lame. One mortar every 30 seconds is not the spectacle you think it is. And it typically goes on for hours in my neighborhood. It terrifies dogs and is completely unpredictable. Maybe if everyone agreed to light everything they had between 9 and 9:30 it would be more impressive and less annoying, but that’ll never happen because “muh freedom” or something lol

  • I kind of get it, but maybe I also don’t fully understand what trans health care for kids is all about. (I’m not against it btw)

    You can’t get a tattoo before you’re 18 because that’s (somewhat) permanent. Does trans care interfere with puberty in a way that’s irreversible?

    I also realize what I just typed is probably comparing apples to oranges… maybe the people passing these laws are thinking the kids will grow up and change their minds - does that actually happen? (I doubt it, but just asking because I don’t know.)

  • It’s probably less “wanting to see a sexting thread with a child” and more “curious what this asshole said that was inappropriate.” Not that absurd.

    For example, if your coworker got fired for saying something inappropriate, would your first question not be, “what did they say that got them fired?”

    Kind of a natural human reaction to be curious.

  • And people ate that shit up. It was a major talking point for people today who just believe everything that man says. Biden even said during the debate that it wasn’t true but no one believed that I guess.
