The Newest Dating Trend ‘Fireworking’ and How To Avoid It
Fireworks might be your favorite thing about the Fourth of July, but they could become yourleastfavorite thing about dating in 2020. Yes, ‘Fireworking’ is the new dating trend in town, and here’s what you need to know about it before itblows up in your face.
You may remember that ‘stashing’ was all the rage last year. That’s when your boo kept you a dirty little secret and hid you from friends, family...and their Instagram feeds.
Fireworking is the opposite of that. It’s when someonelovesto show off their new bae to the point that it’s suspicious. Almost like they’re using them to make an ex jealous or as a tool for social media clout. Whatever reason they’re doing it, it isn’t for love, and that’s not cool.
Think you might be getting fireworked?Here are some signs to look out for:
- You’re treated like eye candy.Does your partner put pressure on you to look amazing every time you guys go out with their friends? Fireworkers want their partner to be perfect all the timebecause their only intention is to show them off like some beauty pageant.
- Frequent social media updates with the partner.If you feel like your boo is taking paparazzi amounts of photos of you, it could be a sign that the fireworking fuse has been lit. You’re not a reality TV couple, you shouldn’t be broadcasting all the time. If their constant SnapChats of you feel disingenuous,trust your gut.
- Things are cold when you’re alone.Are you noticing that your partner is super affectionate out in public, but a dead fish when you’re spending time without friends? This could be a red flag that they’re only with you as a front.

Your Smart TV May Be Spying On You- It looks like our privacy is being erased by new technology.
That new television you just got a great deal on could be spying on you. The FBI is warning that smart TVs with internet connections and facial recognition capabilities could be vulnerable to hacking.
Even without a hack, the tech could allow the manufacturer and app developers to keep an eye on you. A malicious actor could do everything from change your channels to spy on what you do and say.
If you aren’t worried, just remember that a few years ago LG, Samsung, and Vizio got caught getting reports of our viewing habits from the smart TVs.
The FBI says that changing your settings, turning off your microphone, and putting black tape over the camera lens should help.
