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.

  • I’ve been really mellow since I caught covid and I like it. I’m finally happy. It’s like when Homer put the crayon back in his brain because he realised that being smart made him miserable.

      I wound up the same after picking up a weed habit as an adult - very mild persistent brain fog, and my memory has been affected, but I’m happier, and my wife is happier as a consequence. It’s not ideal, but I value happiness over peak mental performance.
