Why can the user only accept, but not reject the cookies? I personally do not care, I block them in the browser.

Why is the "e" in "responsible" on a new line?

My only gripe with amber lights is that they make me sleepy easily.

Feature not a bug

Simply existing in a city should not compel you or other creatures to stay awake

If a person wants to stay awake at night then they can take that upon themselves

The safety argument for street lighting makes me sad. I'd prefer if people just used their phone torches at night.

I used to cycle home in pitch black, watching the stars. Never had any incidents, others would notice me or I them before anything happened

There are lots of safety arguments for street lighting.

For one, as a city dweller, I would be absolutely terrified walking around at night, having to rely on a flashlight to see anything. Not just a "scared of the dark" thing, but good outdoor lighting discourages things like robberies and assaults. And sure, cars could just use their headlights, but still, visibility in populated areas would be very bad, and safety for pedestrians at night would be awful.

There are quite a few homes in my area that still use gas lamps at night. The HOA is pretty good about sending letters to people who install 100w 5500k led cannons in their exterior fixtures.

I've not seen a streetlight anywhere that wasn't collimated downward. Traditional neons are amber. So we had it right well over half century ago as far as street lighting went.

I've seen pretty much every variant of https://i.imgur.com/l9msIIM.jpeg somewhere around most places I've visited in North America/Europe.
