I don't understand the appeal of fireworks

My parents didn't believe in them growing up, saw them as a waste of money. The only time I really experienced them was seeing others set them off in the lane on big occasions - NYE, Christmas, Guy Fawkes night, etc.

The first time I personally handled any fireworks I was like 23, holding a sparkler at my friend's house on NYE. His mother then set off a few fireworks in the back garden, as did every other house nearby.

After 20 minutes or so, we used the lot. I asked her how much that cost, 'about £100 or so.' I get the token celebration items, but that much for basically nothing?

Safe to say it hasn't changed my mind. Seems like a massive fucking waste of money for nothing. For Guy Fawkes night in particular I've always physically constructed a 'man' and then burned it, something which, from construction to doing, was always way more appealing.

I'm on the side of 'retarded poor person decision.'

I searched your name under posts and tried keywords like quit, quitting and weed (again it took me 5 minutes since my last post) and nothing came up about you quitting weed, this gem did though.)

Taking a break from drugs for a little while, probably why I can't sleep. I've always had trouble sleeping so I eventually I got into the habit of just inhaling those weed vape pens laying in bed till I pass out.

I think you've shown your hand by being here too long, you can try and pretend you aren't a poor, low IQ drug addict yourself but these are YOUR words, you aren't even talking about weed here, you're talking about drugs drugs.

You're seething so bad you double posted and digging up messages from 3 years ago. Sounds like you didn't have a happy 4th! If I'm an addict why did I have no trouble quitting cold turkey?

I could still buy and sell your entire trashy family.
 
Cold turkey isn't using THC pens to quit LOL.

Stop LARPing as a rich guy this shit is gay. You sound like the "my daddy could sue your whole family" types.

I'm literally not even remotely mad bro, I'm just saying you are or were a drug addict or at the least a user.

Reading comprehension isn't your strong suit. The post you dug up was me literally saying I quit those pens. I know your family couldn't afford to send you to a nice school so I'll give you a pass on that one.

You don't have to worry about getting sued because you have no money so calm down child.

Joe Rogan is a weed addict and has more money than you will ever see in your lifetime so I don't see what your getting at.

Go play with your sparklers now, child.

That's why they're poor. They're literally burning their money away.

I liked them a lot as a kid, and then I just kind of stopped caring around the age of like 22.

I think it was the time I started shooting guns, so I assume it's a desensitization thing, at least in my case.

I can still appreciate them, but I don't go out of my way anymore. If some go off around my house, cool. If not, I'm not sad.

End of last December, I wanted a couple of packs of roman candles to scare the squirrels out of my trees at night. Got to the stand, told the lady I wanted 2 packs, she told me $40. I asked her if she was joking, and she said no. Ended up buying them, no other stands in the area. Just a reminder that I don't miss fireworks.

One of the few times a scratch off ticket would be a better investment.
