It’s a fair point. It feels like I can’t look at any news on lemmy without seeing a large amount of doomers convinced the world is going to end by 2030. Some of their points are valid but their view of the future is overwhelmingly depressing and very exaggerated.

When I open lemmy, it’s to ignore real life, not to feel even worse about my future

Depends on the instance

Most businesses give me a pass to let me skip queueing if I give them enough notice

I have a rare condition called EBS (sometimes called butterfly skin). I am lucky enough to have a non life threatening form so it is usually only a problem when I walk/exercise in above 20°C temperatures. And I usually get benefits (I rarely have to queue for things)
