    I make sure I’m not around for anything I am personally unusually sensitive to. Can’t expect society not to do any thing which anyone anywhere might not like.

      How do you propose someone makes sure they aren’t around any people who might be setting off fireworks? Are all veterans automatically wealthy enough to be able to stay in the middle of nowhere for two weeks??

        I don’t think that’s the expectation but is the burden on everyone else in this case? Like all possible PTSD triggers should be off limits to everyone because a veteran with PTSD could be near?

        I’ve got an idea, how about we do like Covid lockdowns but like permanently and no one’s allowed to do anything. That’ll solve it.

          How about people just stick to the rules and do their fireworks on the one fucking day they’re supposed to go off. Be it 4th of July in the US or NYE here in Europe.

          But hey, just like with the COVID rules, people just can’t manage that, right?

          I love how you chose the middle ground. Clearly there is no other option between people deciding to not use fireworks in a city and another lockdown.

            What are the other options? You freaks obviously want to dictate how normal every day people go about their lives. I thought you’d get an erection over the idea.

          Oh how I fucking wish, that was the most wonderful time of my life. Peace and quiet, for the first time ever… it was beautiful.

            Wow that’s really sad, I hope you can get the help that you clearly need.
