The world is cruel and ugly. There are plenty of justifiable things to be upset and distraught over. I don’t want to hear about those. I want to know what bizarre out of left field takes you have that infuriates you.

During covid or right after they turned off every other street light to save energy. It was great, they turned them off after 22h or something. Pretty much everyone hated it for no reasons. “It’s dangerous for the children.” The children that plat on the streets in the middle of the night? It wasn’t even pitch black or even close to. We still had more streetlights at only 50% running than many other places.
There are an absolutely unreasonable number of car dealerships near me that are the main cause of light pollution in the area. I once found a fantastic online pamphlet aimed at businesses directing how they can reduce pollution without reducing the (illusion of) security.
