I noticed the same thing, even dumber than usual and not necessarily about politics, just stupid.
I asked a friend to reply to me with pricing for his end of things because we've been planning on going into business together forever and it was finally happening. He replies with some shit like "Hey there, I tried calling you and left a message". I called him back and he didn't answer so I basically wrote him off and proceeded without him.
This is something that he wouldn't leave me alone about last time we had lunch, mind you. He was very excited about it and all I asked him to do is reply to an email with pricing like, $60 an hour or whatever he wants. He still hasn't done it and I've seen him in person since then.
Then he said, "oh sorry if I didn't get back to you in the time you wanted". I just said, "that's no problem, pal". A normal person might have added, "but I'd like $60 an hour". Instead, he just went back to talking about something else. I'm basically treating him like he's mentally handicapped now. lol
Later, I called him about another app he was interested in developing for which I'd built a prototype and he wrote back, "get back with you in a few". Still hasn't gotten back. Maybe he meant a few days, months, or years. Will he even live long enough to "get back with me"? Who knows? lol
Business partnerships are extremely complicated in the Covid era. The toughest part is getting them to do...anything or remember...anything. lol
I'm not even sure if he's capable of doing...anything at this point but being fat and weird.
