I was talking to one of my friends and he mentioned staying home on July 4, citing how there are a lot of really ugly things going on in the US.
After thinking about this myself, I’m starting to feel the same way. Instead of being proud of the country, I’m feeling like I’m just another wallet that companies and the government are trying to suck all the money out of.
The cost of living is going up, the housing market is a nightmare, I don’t feel very confident in our government at all, the job market is a nightmare…
I think I’ll be staying home this year too… anyone else?
God I hate Lemmy sometimes. Go buy some fireworks, get the grill out, and hang with family. I don’t fucking care if you’re not into it. Just do it.
Get off the screen for a few hours. You need it
I dont need an occation to touch grass and meet friends
Op does
What’s the point in doing it if I’m not into it? Who am I doing it for at that point?
Your own mental health
Aww, conservadaddy is upset the American tradition is dying of its own consequences. “Just do it 😭” they say.

You’re in the wrong sub.
How do fireworks help my neighbor’s PTSD, let alone my own mental health?
I can grill on my own time, thanks.
Don’t be a Debbie Downer
And then he said what! Lmfaooo

You should go touch grass too
No
Yes. It’ll be good for you
How the hell would you know? Any fool who asserts that they know what’s best for a complete strange they know nothing about is not someone I would EVER trust.
Celebrating a descent into fascism? Oh, but of course, celebrating the complete breakdown of social support structures as they’re replaced with the populace getting terrorized by our own military is OBVIOUSLY such an unparalleled cause for celebration.
Wait, no, that’s fucking asinine. When did you last touch grass, buddy???
Go touch grass.
See, you can’t even get that right. They just sprayed my lawn!
Sheesh, dude. It’s like you’re not even trying! Oh, wait… ʕ ͡° ʖ̯ ͡°ʔ
There’s grass outside of your own lawn. Go touch grass.
Oh, god. You’re so boring!!
LIVE A LITTLE!
I’d say it won’t hurt, bit I lie. Don’t worry, though; it builds character. 😆
But seriously, go away now…
Go touch grass bro. Enjoy your three day weekend
boom boom out go the lights
