Over here in Central Europe, the fourth of July is obviously not a thing. Our fireworks day is the night between the last and the first day of the year.

Over the last few years it got restriceted more and more and now many cities prohibit private fireworks completely and instead put on a professional show in a few places. It's so much better now in basically every aspect.

I mean, who thought that giving drunk people explosives on a massive scale would be a good idea?

Firework use is prohibited where I live, but the sale is allowed. I hate it so damn much. Maybe I just getting old, but any kind of noise pollution drives me up the wall these day. I get pissed at my neighbour's Corvette that he insists of revving at 5am almost daily.

Oh I get that. I'm living in the city centre in one of Poland's major cities and assholes with motorbikes and sportscars are literally revving the engine ALL. THE. TIME.
And it's such a useless stuff, too. Like, yesterday at 2AM some asshat on a bike just kept burning the tires and revving the engine for 3 minutes straight.

And I had to wake up at 4AM for work, so obviously I'm pissed.

Here in Poland there's always at least 10 big news on New Year's Eve of some drunk asshole blowing his hands off or permanently damaging the baby, or killing the dog, or some other shit.

Same ones that handed them guns as a right, speaking as a US Citizen I really hate that right.

It's not so much the right itself, just the batshit crazy interpretation of it and our collective gun fetish culture. The nutjobs zero in on the "shall not be infringed" part completely ignoring the "well regulated" part that comes before that. *sigh*

[-] TheCraiggers@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

To be fair, the "well regulated" part is talking about the militia, not guns in general. Although I'm not a 17th century lawyer so maybe I'm reading it wrong.

[-] HelixDab@kbin.social -2 points 1 year ago

"Well regulated" means trained. Not governed by a central authority. Anyone that goes to a range to practice regularly would be considered "well related".
