Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

Same, my mother absolutely believes it, so much so that she refuses to do it for family and friends because she doesn't want to see anything bad with anyone she knows.

Same with reiki, she tried it on me once and asked if I felt anything, which I obviously didn't so I said as much and her reply was "oh, well that's probably because you don't believe in it."

I love you mom, but that's called a placebo.

Is your mom my mom? Are we siblings? That's EXACTLY what my mother is like

It's weird how tarot cards can never actually predict anything useful isn't it? You know like it would be really convincing if they could tell me what next week's lottery numbers are.

One of my sister's friends is into this stuff and yet she still managed to get a speeding ticket, you'd have thought she'd seen that one coming.

Thats a fundamental misunderstanding what is claimed to be offered. I dont even believe in this, but you have to understand how dumb that sounds right? Tarot doesnt claim to give you a minute by minute breakdown of every day for the next week.
