    Oh God, I’m in Asia right now and my mom and I visited a store that sells charms and stuff and they also tell your fortune and tell you what you need to buy to boost your Feng Shui. Let me just tell you, this stuff is scary accurate.
    You give them your Chinese birth name as well as your birthday and birth year, and they tell you fking everything. They can even guess how old you are...

    JK JK that’s not what they really tell you.
    They were very accurate with me, but were even more accurate with my mom’s fortune telling. They didn’t just tell you generic things like personality which they did and were super accurate about, they told you things like job, family status, wealth, relations, and a lot more things I don’t really want to talk about and wish weren’t publicly known. Let’s just say my mom learned a few more things about me that I wish she didn’t know about.
    But the scariest part is how good they are at selling stuff. Damn Asian salesman are super scary good at pushing products.

    Oh ho...
    Did they also tell you how many brats you'll have in the future

    Last time, a fortune teller told me I'll have 12 kids... I wonder who's gonna be the poor girl that'll give birth to my 12 punks in the future... :blobjoy:

    You’ll never know, maybe it’s just that something gets messed up at the sperm bank and something like that movie where a guy is the biological father of almost a hundred kids happen.

    Fortune tellers use something like cold reading... basically, you are the one giving them the info. :notlikeblob:

    They watch your reactions, body language, breathing, eye motion, and whatever the fuck else is considered to be a part of you for reactions. Then they guestimate. Then you fill in the blanks yourself. :facepalm:

    Yep, those kinds are very scary.
    Even worse are the ones who use those same tactics to convince you that you are surrounded by enemies, and only be giving them your money can you be saved. It sounds stupid if you say it straight out like that, but they way they say it can make it very convincing. Masters of manipulation.

    Meanwhile I am inaccurate and harmless. *shakes dice* Want to get a fortune told? :blobpeek:

    *rolls the dice*
    ... eh, the dice are being facetious.
    They say: "You will be transported to a fantasy world very soon. The very next time you read a fantasy novel, in fact. Of course, it'll only be in your head."
    They seem unhappy with the unrealistic question.

    That just increases your chance of rolling nothing.

    I find it ironic you believe in such sorcery when your profile pic is from a post-war scientific magician world.:blobrofl:

    Dude, I didn't even need step foot into one of those shops for them to read my fortune and get it right. I was even on the other side of the planet. My grandpa went in to get my fortune read...and they got my personality and career thus far so accurately. Grandpa primarily went to get my marriage fortune..........cough

    I've tried learning about some astrology stuff online and I keep my sense of disbelief, but it can get weird how things it says seem to match. I understand the possible reasons for that, but it's still kindof uncanny, y'know?

    I was told by one “astrologist” that I had a miscarriage - as in “already happened” past (which I didn’t, thankfully). But the slightly scary thing is that my mom had a miscarriage, I was supposed to be the second child and not first. Some religions believe that the soul of the miscarried child goes into the body of the next child...

    Although my reaction to that astrologist was like “you are full of bs” but in my head I was thinking that it’s not that wrong. It’s hard to interpret the information those people receive from the cards/ stars/etc.

    It's the art of reading us Nuffians mostly don't have.


    We only read "big juicy boobs" and can only imagine melons while the real readers can know that girls height, weight, personality and so on.

    And even whether it's a trap in disguise.
