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.
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.
Obviously. But in Japan, people think certain blood types have specific personality traits and it gets really annoying when people believe it as if it were solid science.
It’s apparently because we have a pretty even split between A, B, AB, and I types unlike many other countries where the population tends to lean heavily on one type, which makes it easier to categorize people and traits.
Tbh, this “reason” is something I saw ages ago on TV, so I’m not even sure if it’s true. Please take it with a gigantic grain of salt!
Even into adulthood, they love bullshit like horoscopes and blood types (the latter more prominent in Japan).
Just let people enjoy things, jeez
I mean, I didn’t say they couldn’t. It’s just bullshit.
That’s such a Capricorn thing to say
Um, I don’t believe in astrology; I’m a Sagittarius.
So strange how people will throw snark at others for enjoying harmless fun.
Believing stupid shit like astrology actually affects our personalities and actions is not harmless at all.

But blood types are real.

Whoa, what?
…nope. Considered hormonal influence on blood cells for a moment but unlikely and even then not over statistic noise.

Some isolated island effect?
