I know in NYC and whatnot they've been dealing with fireworks for a bit now but here in provincial Jacksonville, Florida, it hasn't been a thing until tonight, as there are stupid assholes setting off fireworks in my neighborhood

Jacksonville's loose "reopening" can't even been factored into people being bored. Yeah, bars were closed again but there's still plenty of ways to get drunk in public so miss me with all that.

hate america but the 4th is basically ideal as a holiday format. just chilling and having a good time. it's what holidays should be to be. relaxing/fun.

Definitely the worst holiday as a kid. The fireworks were always cool but you had to sit through a boring barbecue with all of your mom's drunk friends before you got to go and see them.

I like big awesome fireworks shows, especially when they're sponsored as a civic display for the public to share in a big, pleasant public space (that bit always feels very democratic to me), but I could do without yahoos setting off their own amateur fireworks and scaring people's pets and blowing themselves up every year.

I've never been super into summer bbq as a social event (too hot, too much sun, don't like to eat that much meat and I have never cared for the traditional sides except for baked beans) and I'm way too old to have fun day drinking anymore.

So yeah it's a pretty mediocre holiday that appeals to a bunch of the worst people.

It still can't be anywhere near the worst of the major holidays though. St. Patty's is worse for annoyingness. Columbus Day is worse for cheering colonialism. New Year's is worse for reminding you of the failures of your past, the futility of attempting change, the inevitable toll of age, and the swiftness with which your remaining years are eroding. Plus it's always cold and bleak as fuck, which I guess is appropriate, but still makes it an extra shitty holiday.

So those ones are all worse.

seems to me that really the 4th falls into two camps, from this thead.

Pro 4th of July: alcoholics
Anti 4th of July: other

I was going to make potato salad and corn and cut some watermelon. Need like one more vegetarian thing. I usually love fireworks but I’d give anything for a quiet night.

I still enjoy this big dumb holiday. I have a lot of good memories as a kid watching fireworks, playing table tennis with my uncles, and having burgers. I went back two years ago with my son to so he could meet the other side of his family. One of the best days we had there was on the fourth. The last three years have been a complete nightmare but I will not let these years tarnish the pride I have for being American.
