I live near the coast in an area where people light them off year round. Drunk with fireworks should result in summary executions, but otherwise whatever. We occasionally get someone at 1am+ lighting off the biggest they can buy for an hour or more. Those people should f off, the rest... whatever IMO. If you're setting off car alarms, you're a problem. There are always people around you working night shifts and this is a tax on them, so act like Karma is real.

RULES (updated 01/22/25)
- Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling. To be concise, disrespect is defined by escalation.
- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible. You won't be punished for trying.
- Avoid controversial topics (politics or societal debates come to mind, though we are not saying not to talk about anything that resembles these). There's a guide in the protocol book offered as a mod model that can be used for that; it's vague until you realize it was made for things like the rule in question. At least four purple answers must apply to a "controversial" message for it to be allowed.
- Keep it clean and SFW: No illegal content or anything gross and inappropriate. A rule of thumb is if a recording of a conversation put on another platform would get someone a COPPA violation response, that exact exchange should be avoided when possible.
- No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc. The chart redirected to above applies to spam material as well, which is one of the reasons its wording is vague, as it applies to a few things. Again, a "spammy" message must be applicable to four purple answers before it's allowed.
- Respect privacy as well as truth: Don’t ask for or share any personal information or slander anyone. A rule of thumb is if something is enough info to go by that it "would be a copyright violation if the info was art" as another group put it, or that it alone can be used to narrow someone down to 150 physical humans (Dunbar's Number) or less, it's considered an excess breach of privacy. Slander is defined by intentional utilitarian misguidance at the expense (positive or negative) of a sentient entity. This often links back to or mixes with rule one, which implies, for example, that even something that is true can still amount to what slander is trying to achieve, and that will be looked down upon.

chicago has a big chinatown and a small china town. big china town has big streets and the parade and everyone is aware of the parade and dragon dancing and such but little china town. Its a cramped neighborhood with narrow streets and people move in and out often and man. every year. people would be parked and once the big explosive at the top of the chain would go it would cause like at least 3 car alarms to go off.
A better way to phrase it then is you consider lack of fireworks the best thing about a Vietnamese neighborhood then.
I'll have days/weeks of fireworks and gunshots, already have on the days before.
It's really mostly the Chinese population who does the fireworks in the city here. But our Chinatown and Japantown are pretty intertwined and that's where I lived, so it was very noisy.
