      I mean, I didn’t say they couldn’t. It’s just bullshit.

      So strange how people will throw snark at others for enjoying harmless fun.

        Tbf aren’t they used a lot for taking money from vulnerable people or just overall spread gossip about those you dislike?

        Harmless fun until they talk shit about one of their friends’ boyfriend because his sign doesn’t match and they think he’ll cheat on her… To fish one example out of the sea…

          That goes deeper than simple horoscopes. If it wasn’t horoscopes, it’d be religion. If not religion, race. If not race, diet. If not diet, hobbies. It’s like talking shit about someone because they don’t use your favorite distro. Is Linux the problem? Or is it someone’s capacity to pass condescending judgements over silly things? Some people are insufferable. That’s a people issue.

          Back in our early 20s, my friend decided not to date a guy because of his horoscope and some tarot readings she got. You could throw away the love of your life that way.

            This kind of thinking is silly. First, that’s her problem. Second, whoa, jeez, are the stakes really that high? “I’d be married happily ever after if only she hadn’t gotten those darn tarot cards read.” Move on, meet someone else.

              Your comment makes zero sense. I never said it was my problem and the stakes are the same any time you have a potential relationship. You inferred quite a bit of nonsense into my comment and that’s all on you.

                  I’m saying that your favorite song was written but you’d never know (NUFAN). My friend threw away a potentially great relationship for no reason. It could have been great or it could have been terrible. The point is not to use irrational criteria whenever possible.

                    Ok man, I’m sorry for your friend’s possibly great possibly terrible relationship she didn’t have in her early 20s because of horoscopes.

        Believing stupid shit like astrology actually affects our personalities and actions is not harmless at all.

          You’d be surprised which things affect our personalities and actions. I’d bet my left hat that you have some silly influences over you that you think are mundane and normal. And I bet those things make you more fun to be around too. Or less fun, depending on your company.
