Sorry, but I know they do do it intentionally sometimes, as it's happened to me. I had a friend I knew over 10 years who suddenly stopped talking to me. (This happened back in 2006 but I never forgot that experience) She didn't answer my voicemail or email. Determined to get some answers, I sent a snail mail and I finally got a reply that way. She said she has nothing in common with me anymore and doesn't want to talk to me again. ***** Yeah friendships ebb and flow, but she could have picked better words. Or a better way to make a clean break. Good riddance. If I had to do all that just to find out what the **** is her problem, good riddance like I said.
Whatever else was going on, I'll never know since she "ghosted" me as people say.

 I thought it was just me. I too INTENSELY dislike that phrase "new normal". It IS BS and it trivializes the last TWO years! It's like this has been something minor or inconvenient. An example I can think of at the moment is how they don't show reruns of shows in the summer like they did when I was a kid.
At some point, it became the "new normal" not to show reruns all summer long but show something new. The phrase wasn't in use then that I recall, but pretty soon it was the "new normal" to also have TV available 24/7. They used to go off the air around midnight, putting a test pattern on for awhile just before they did that. Then it was the "new normal" to not show those patterns anymore.
In my opinion it's just a part of the sick American culture of putting a positive spin on everything or acting like it's no big deal. Just like thinking just cause it's a new year, it means things will get better. The relentless optimism about a "new year". To me it's been 2020 for two years now. Changing the calendar doesn't do anything.
And after being discharged, "this is your new normal"? WTF???!!!! That is SO SO COLD!!!!!!!!
