Do you believe in Astrology?

[Pirian]

Oh that was funny as hell

[Draggy]

i dont actuall follow them or anything but I do read the horoscopes in the paper every day.. idk why lol

[Talus]

I don't believe in astrology but I think it's cool that I'm a Taurus. I wish I had horns.

FFXI is a case-study on CB and it is one of the most common, and most aggravating, traits that almost all people have in common.

Fucking this. Hurrrrr directional crafting!

Even if it's not true, you do it anyways in case it is.

like climate change.

This is, purely without jest, 100% how astrology works:

Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if this was the case too.

Still, the way I've always thought of myself and what the description of my sign says go hand-in-hand, pretty much. Sigh.

Let's just say that I don't believe in Astrology, but it is slightly interesting nonetheless.

CB has taken 10 years off of my life already by raising my blood pressure to dangerous levels so goddamn frequently. Crafting forums have damn near given me a stroke more times than I can count.

No shit, I remember I posted somewhere my crafting statistics with a sample-size of 500,000~(?) and people still didn't get it.

Modest and shy - Nearly everyone believes they're modest. It's socially advantageous to not be seen as a braggart.

Meticulous and reliable - Who is going to say they are sloppy and unreliable?

Practical and diligent - Who doesn't want to believe that they are diligent? Who would say they are not practical?

Intelligent and analytica - No I'm stupid and gullible! Of course anyone would think this describes them.

Fussy and a worrier - Everyone worries about things and fusses over things. Everyone.

Overcritical and harsh - Many people would believe this too, and them temper it by saying it's only when they're being honest.

Perfectionist and conservative - Few people are going to admit that they leave jobs half-assed or unfinished.

"conservative" seems to be the only slightly concrete descriptor in this whole sign.

Yes Alleya but it all depends on if these traits describe you or not, you are seeing it as a black and white situation.

Let me give you an example from a very popular Football Management game. Let's compare these two players.

Player 1 - Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

Player 2 - Wayne Rooney

http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y12...3at22312PM.png

How would you describe Player 1 (Ibra)? Terrific finisher, dribbler and has great technique.

Player 2 (Rooney)? Pacey, has great mental stats and stamina.

Does this make Ibra a slow player? No, 15/20 is pretty damn high for a striker in FM. But his pace is just not one of his defining abilities. If we applied your logic to this example, or any other thing that involves stats there would only be 0's and 1's.

Same with Rooney, is he bad at finishing? Does he have a poor technique? Not at all, but he'd be described with his other abilities.

When you describe a person as "modest" you generally mean that his modesty is way above the standards.

Fussy and a worrier - Everyone worries about things and fusses over things. Everyone.

Definitely, but some people will remember a mere word you've said in a phone conversation, stick on it, allow it to fuck his mind up, and bring up as a fight excuse later on. That's what I'd call a "worrier".

you haters are all just mad that you're not pisces, the greatest of signs. astrology is real and its predictions are 100% accurate!

[Gwynplaine]

I don't "believe" in it. I know for a fact it's false.

Magic all up in this bitch!

If you don't believe in astrology you are an idiot. Sometimes the horoscope doesn't fit me so I pick up another newspaper or website that has a horoscope made my another person and see if that fits me instead. Sometimes it takes an hour or 2 to go through 15-20 different predictions until I find the one that totally proves it accurate.

I like their Cheerleading episode. I never looked at it that way. Very informative.

[toonces]

no because they still haven't adapted to the new positions of the stars so it is kinda silly

[Klaatu]

Surprised no one said said "ass-troll-ogy"

[Kuya]

Nobody said it till now, because nobody was that stupid until now.

[Rhyis.]

Magic up in this thread.
