Just as the title asks I’ve noticed a very sharp increase in people just straight up not comprehending what they’re reading.

They’ll read it and despite all the information being there, if it’s even slightly out of line from the most straightforward sentence structure, they act like it’s complete gibberish or indecipherable.

Has anyone else noticed this? Because honestly it’s making me lose my fucking mind.

      Why is your friend coming out as a trans woman the first example you give of a friend going off the deep end and becoming hyper obsessed with politics?

      Nah man ive seen coworkers who spent this whole time in the office and caught covid multiple times become imbeciles no matter how good they were at the job. I’ve been home this whole time and I’m working with so many idiots.

      They’ve become hyper obsessed with politics

      I lost a lot of people to this too. They saw me as the enemy because I’m hardcore apolitical at this point as I want nothing to do with what the obsessors are obsessing about.

      I notice your name says Oregon - are you in Oregon too? I’m in Portland and political discussions here are a headache that lead to shunning. People treat politics like its their religion.

        And then they have the nerve to give you dirty looks and ask why you’re wearing a mask. Buddy, employees going to work with covid is now cause for celebration where I am, fuck off.
