Indeed, this is called cold reading and is how most of these things work.

But I'm the asshole if I don't take people seriously when they go on about astrology and how it's the perfect system.
That's some Scorpio skepticism. You're a victim of the influence of the stars smh
Because if my parents had banged 3 days earlier I'd be much more agreeable
you wouldnt exist. they would've had one of their other possible children.
They hate it when I mention that the stars move in the sky, so the constellations not only move but also change shape.
Btw this guy recently got jumped and had hot grease poured over his foot causing nerve damage while walking home from pride because his car got stripped for parts by thieves. He needs money for surgery and moving out of Detroit and has yet to reach his initial goal of $50k https://www.gofundme.com/f/support-ceros-after-car-theft-and-attack
Ah, so he is American then?


I been doing the same thing casting hot wing bones over a cardboard map of Atlanta
What do the bones tell you?
They told me how many snakes we would catch in the woods by Asheville (6 copperheads)
Told someone where to find their friend at the burn accurately
Told some people their children would find success, others that their music career would go nowhere
It told someone their relationship was failing while they bargained with the board asking additional questions
If anyone asked something like, "should I move to Atlanta?" "Is there anything for me in Atlanta?" The board always emphatically said FUCK NO
I probably spent about 15 hours doing readings over last weekend at a regional burn, been working on creating the set for a few months. Surprisingly magical, surprisingly accurate, at least if you ask it questions that can be verified within a day or two

The map is a work in progress, adding little sketches to it periodically until it's filled out completely

My partner and I doing readings, I'm the elf :p
Interested foreign language guy question:
Is this a correct use of the word "literally"?
I don't think it's technically correct, but that word has been mangled so badly at this point that I would say the way it's used here counts as common usage.
It has come to a point where literally means both literally and figurativelly depending on context.
Thanks! Got me confused when reading the whole post but then I guessed something like what you just said already.
Just wanted to have some confirmation.
Literally literally means metaphorically now
Yeah both of those uses are fine in English. The first usage is "more" correct I would say. Literally is supposed to be used to basically say that the thing is actually happening. The second usage is also common at least in American English. Usually it's used with common figures of speech. "I was literally judging books by their cover." Technically he wasn't, he was judging people. Some people will be pedantic and call you out for that. So if you're taking an English class I'd avoid that usage but it's really common to hear it used that way. "I would literally die." It strengthens the phrase.
yeah. it maybe looks like it isn't because because he's not literally looking at books but "judge a book by its cover" is an idiom so i'd say this is a correct literally rather than the shitty 2010s literally that means figuratively.
My favorite part of this is when people do it to me and they are almost always 100% wrong.
they get really mad and call me an asshole. because apparently i'm suppose to just agree with their shit takes about me.
I take a little pride in this too. Not because I'm not easily judged (you would be right about a lot of things based on my looks) but I keep quite a few hobbies that no one would suspect and don't have many interests that are in the orbit of what might be guessed.
It lets me know when someone starts treating me like they've "clocked" what type of person I am since it's clear when someone thinks they're appealing to you/flattering you but completely whiffing.
ceros is pretty cool, his youtube channel can be a trip
I love him, it's so obvious most of his stories are made up bs for clicks and I'm here for it!
It's like hearing a wildly exaggerated story being told by that one friend but you don't say anything and don't interrupt because he's a good storyteller.
This is a Chapelle's Show bit.
