right so check this out
right now, sitting in a car, probably stuck in a bit of traffic, you know big city living and all that

He has just finished work at a office or warehouse or supermarket it dont really make much fucking difference just trading time for money

On his way out of work he says goodbye to sara working at the front desk (a spicy little number)
he jokingly asks if shes got any plans for the weekend "oh not much just hang with the boyfriend i guess"

A slight chuckle is all he can mange as he turns to the exit , a rage so pure and intense like gouts of flame spike into his soul all he can think about as he walks to his car is violently beating and raping the stupid whore sara fucking dumb bitch ill fuck the life out of her he thinks has he brings his 1993 honda civic to life

he is on his way home now where soon he will lock all the doors, close all the blinds then put on his $10,000 usd pink and blue wolf furrie costume

and spend the rest of the night shoving bigger and more complex looking dildos up his arse, stretching out his urethra with a ballpoint pen and masterbating to child porn all live on webcam

this is the real world, people like that exist and worse they vote for hillary

all interpretation is lost just under the surface, can you tell the difference between a smile and a crocodile? are you sure? am not.

this is the real world, a world of illusions

No.

I admit I do foolish shit during the 4th. Our family and our friends have made it a tradition to get a bit out of hand and wild during the 4th. Using firework for more then show. I have several scars and have known my fair share of intense pain. Still we hold that the 4th isn't just a Holiday to watch pretty lights.

It is meant for us to experience. Even in a small part. The danger and excitement and chaos our Nation faced during our revolution.

I don't claim to be as fearless and bold as the Men who secured our Nation but I can nod my head towards them by sharing in that same smoke and noise filled ambiance while doused in Patriotic ambition.

Being wounded during the 4th of July is a factor of how often, not if. He should have shown more reverence for black powder.

>HOUSTON - A 15-year-old boy is in serious condition at Children's Memorial Hermann Hospital after a fireworks accident on Saturday, according to his family.
>Rowdy Radford tied around 200 sparklers together with tape and when he went to light the self-made "sparkler bomb," it blew up right in his face.
>"I just want this out, I want everybody to see this so they'll know what happened, don't let their kids do this. it's not worth it," Wendy Smith, Radford's mother, said.
>Radford is in the hospital with injuries to his whole body. He has been undergoing surgeries for two days. Part of his left leg was amputated, he has injuries on his right leg, both arms need screws and pins to hold his wrists and elbow together, several of his fingers were blown off, his hands were severely burned and his face was severely burned as well. He went through surgery on both of his eyes and doctors are not sure if he will ever be able to see again.
>"When it blew him up it caused severe injuries and they ended up having to amputate his left leg right below the knee, he also has severe burns throughout his entire body," Samantha Hansen, Radford's aunt, said.
>With a name like Rowdy, they say he lives life to the fullest, always trying to make others laugh. They hope that spirit will pull him through this tough time.
>"We know he's going to pull through, it wouldn't be Rowdy if he if he didn't," Hansen said.
>According to a family friend, he is going to be a freshman this year and he wanted to be a mechanic when he grew up.

It's worth it when you're not a fucking idiot and get away from the device before it explodes.

You can actually make shaped charges with sparklers.

I don't see how this happened. He would have had to either not pull the center sparkler out for a fuse and attempt to light it, or light the center sparkler and stand right next to it like a nigger.

The version we used to make involved wrapping the body in electrical tape, not whatever the fuck that thing is. And you had to use the metal sparklers, not the faggot pink paper shit.

Tried this when I was a kid. You have to take the little rocks inside out and put them into a larger thin paper wadding. Also there is an upper limit to how large you can make it, after one about the size of a golf ball it just blows itself apart without detonating most of the rocks.

If you throw them hard enough they'll pop on a person, unless they're wearing heavy clothes.

Stupid little faggot should have died. He deserved every bit of pain he has to endure for the rest of his life now because he didn't use common sense when dealing with pyrotechnics.

People like him are the reason these are banned in multiple states, mine included. It should remain legal and we should marginalize those that end up in accidents that were blatantly foolish.

>hey guise i'm gonna tape 100+ sparklers together and hold it while it goes off am i cool now?

Friend works down at the local marina, unlocked the gate for us on the 4th. A few of his coworkers showed up.

We found some long chunks of PVC and went at it with old shitbox cars and the two forklifts there in the empty gravel yard.

However, there are many, many non-obvious ways to injure or kill yourself. Anybody who has seen rekt threads on /b/ knows this. I think kids should be put through some pretty intense general safety classes. They don't necessarily need to be traumatised with gore, but we shouldn't sugar-coat it.

>being this delusional

Nope, just raised to be responsible with explosives. Last year I spent $2,000 on mortars and cakes and had to set up 3 firing stations so we could keep them going. Show lasted about an hour and a half. Each person assigned knew that fireworks aren't fucking toys and as they lit them they fucking moved back like you're supposed to. I've done stupid shit before, but nothing involving explosives and guns.

>implying doing stupid shit absolves you of being irresponsible and putting others in danger

Next you're going to tell me that Hillary should be President despite the 'stupid shit' she did.

Go light a mortar and stare down the tube while it's lit and try to catch it with your teeth. The world would appreciate it.
>>
>>79921510
>Never hold it in your fucking hand. Especially home made shit.

This. Even with professionally made fireworks.

6 years ago I took a broken airsoft version of a .50 barrett and added a tube for the common small firework mortars where the barrel would go.

Worked fine the first few shots, then I tried to shoot one and the lift charge didn't go off, I had it shouldered and just held on after I realized since my friends were around.

Blew the spotwelds off the gun, gave me a few cuts on my face. The guy standing behind me got the worst of it, the butt blew off and I moved at the last second, it went backwards and hit him in the knee, giving him a fuckhuge bloody bruise.

If mechanics is as easy as cleaning toilets, then you don't need anyone to repair your brakes. Do it yourself.

I myself have an M.Sc in orgo. Tell me, what was your major?

WTF are these fireworks that these kids are playing with that can blow a leg off? Shit, even if a mortar went off next to me I think I would just get a burn.

Yeah, that sounds like someone from Houston alright.

Bunch of sparklers taped together.
The pressure builds up and releases all at once instead of just flashing into the air as it burns.

It's like the difference between lighting a pile of gunpowder on the ground and a pile of gunpowder stuffed into a pipe.

Oxidizer + Fuel + metal container = bomb

Pretty simple. Even mundane sparklers can unleash tremendous energy when the compo is reduced to a powder and confined properly.
Especially if the sparklers are made from aluminum + perchlorate, rather than the more common steel + nitrate.

It's like wanting to be something pretty much anyone can be. It's just a low goal. Can't expect much from a kid that dumb though.

>Do it yourself.

I do all my auto and motorcycle repairs myself. I signed up for night classes at the local community college, just because I find it interesting as a life skill. I think a man should be able to do these things on his own. I have a BA, LLB and an LLM.

I wonder what would happen if you lit a 500 pound pile of blacksnakes on fire at once
You could probably sit on it and it would be like riding a big black roller coaster, let's try it
It's OK because blacksnakes are safe

Can you tear down and rebuild your vehicles completely?
Proper mechanics isn't as easy as just changing your brake rotors once a year.
Not saying this jerkoff was smart, but good mechanics are as rare as good doctors.

As unusual as it is, I've actually seen one shear off.

Million in one chance, it was on an AWD eagle talon.

Assuming you are not shitposting, good. Every man should know how to tear apart and fix his vehicle.

it's darwinism in action, when I was like fucking 13 I was already playing with fire crackers and smart enough to throw them after lighting them.

I used to make bombs out of plastic bottles and gunpowder. But shit, I didn't fucking stand next to them after I lit the fuse.

that's cool
imagine a sphere of solid iron, pressurized to 1000psi or some high number. would the snakes ignite at all? my guess is that they'd just form a molten pool at the bottom and behave like a molten salt at 1 atmosphere

no, can you tear down your entire plumbing system and put it back together? You make a better strawman than a mechanic.

My point is that fixing some dickhead's car is less of a societal contribution than say saving some dickheads life or keeping said dickhead from ending lives. That's all. Honestly dude You have to admit it's a low dream to have, unless you're a specialist or something.

What a cuck. Celebrating negro culture and jewish political dominance by blowing himself up?

not him but trade skills are exactly as important as it's demand. a plumber might not be the highest watermark, but he can charge what he wants when everyone else majored in c-sci. that's the truth, trade skills will be in larger demand in the net 20yrs than even the conventional daddy paid for college degrees.

It's Chinese People's fault.

They invented firecrackers.

We're going to have to deport all the Chinese to stop this culture of terrorism.

Clearly, this entire thread shows that the most dangerous thing radical Islam can be sent aren't weapons, they're sparklers.

I'm still pretty amazed that killed him.

It was nothing more than a common mortar, right?

Yo, I hear you like living with Negros on a Jewish slave plantation. Let's blow ourselves up!

>>79924846

You can't even call them sparklers, that sounds like Niggers. You've just offended all the Jews.

We're going to have to vote for Clinton.
>>
Do you guys think liberals would call for a ban on sparklers if someone were to make a respectably-sized sparkler bomb and set it off in a building?
>>
>>79924702
I'm not saying they're unimportant. It's just that individually as a career choice one should dream bigger. Because there are more mechanics, you becoming a mechanic has less of a contribution than becoming a bioengineer which you would make up a larger percentage of.
>>
>>79924999

Only if it touches a hair on a Jew's head.

You know they would. Thankfully nobody has done it yet, probably because of the cost vs making your own explosives.

Maybe the kid likes engines.
I love engines and cars myself, and if I hadn't done chemistry, I could have made a great career from mechanics.
The smells and sounds of machinery are wonderful. And the satisfaction of making a broken machine work perfectly again is better than fucking.
>>
>>79925456
You are wrong.
We have (or better had) a car mechanic in our town, one of three. He was the only one who would do jobs on every vehicle, no matter the brand. Beside that, he was always fun to be around, a really good man. When he died, half the town showed up because everyone somehow knew him. It was a great ceremony.

Do you think anyone would give a damn about some biochemist kicking the bucket? Sure, they may contribute something, but they might as well do nothing worthwhile as well. A mechanic always does something of use, even if it is at a smaller proportion.
>>
>>79925686
>Do you think anyone would give a damn about some biochemist kicking the bucket?

Well not a bad one that never achieved anything, no. Look, my point is that some careers have more opportunity than others. That's all.
>>
>>79925468
>The smells and sounds of machinery are wonderful. And the satisfaction of making a broken machine work perfectly again is better than fucking.

Agreed. It's the very essence of being human.

The knowledge and ability to pilot hunks of metal, to say "Fuck nature, I'm going to design a machine I can pilot to surpass my biological limitations" is what separates us from the beasts.

That's a true, yet broad, statement.
