I was afraid my response to the astrology zombie (esp. one of psjt’s lines) would be seen as threadshitting. So I’ll post my reply here instead:

Yet I have never read a more uninformed sentence in my life.
Please tell me that, upon your rereading it, that it doesn’t actually make sense to you, so that I can maintain some hope in your ability to walk down the street.
Or are you really trying to reduce something like gravity to a matter of faith? Do you do your chart or throw the i ching or pray to the saints that you’ll fall flat on your face when you trip?
