That's pretty funny. Even funnier if there are people out there who actually believe in this magical thinking nonsense.

    Are there people who earnestly believe it? I just see it as a little bit of fun escapism.

    But you're probably right. I say the same shit about astrology, so I should be consistent. Normalizing magical thinking is really bad, even if it seems benign.

    Indeed. You literally never know these days. The astrology stuff is so fucky to me. I remember when people began getting serious about it and it completely ruined horoscopes for me as some fun, stupid past time shit to do once in awhile. It made me feel gross, like I was lumping myself in with a bunch of nutty people when I was just trying to have a bit of fun, you know.

    You can have a convo with someone nowadays and think both of you are just joking and then you realize, no, I'm actually talking to an anti-vaxxer right now. 🤣 shit like that has happened to me more than once with all kinds of random topics I thought were common sense shit.
