Those fancy dark themes for the edgy kids tend to make some posts less readable, so they just ain't worth it.

I just use it as a preemptive strike. Couple of regulars around here I need days off from so I can remain civil most days. Just can't get along with everyone.

I just switch to and from the dark theme as night comes. As dark can be annoying during the daytime, I'm more affected by the normal theme hurting my eyes during the nighttime.
