I hate it when people use their zodiac. full stop.

[–] LetterboxPancake@sh.itjust.works 21 points 2 years ago

On top of that, she's an idiot

Is anyone else here noticing how awful this font is?

[–] EherVielleicht@feddit.de 21 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Thank you for noticing. It took me some time to find a font, as disturbing as people mentioning their zodiac.

You did a great job then. The horizontal alignment is awful

Edit: I meant vertical, but I got distracted and I'm and idiot as well.

It reminds me of the feeling of being in an elevator with someone you're mad at

Would it be better if they say "Sorry I'm just a bitch"?

[–] VikingHippie@lemmy.wtf 17 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yeah. While still not good, at least toxic self-deprecation/self-critical fatalism is more sympathetic than complete abdication of responsibility 🤷

[–] danc4498@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Nah, there’s no self deprecation in that. It’s more like they’re just rationalizing their shitty behavior ahead of time by pretending they have a characteristic that’s entirely out of their control.

“Sorry I’m just [choosing to be] a bitch” is more accurate.

[–] VikingHippie@lemmy.wtf 1 points 2 years ago

I'm with you most of the way (hence why I used words like "not good" and "toxic"), but who said anything about ahead of time?

[–] HikingVet@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 2 years ago

Worked with a couple people over the years who straight out said they are hard to deal with. Had much less problems with them than those who said "they could work with anyone"

[–] EherVielleicht@feddit.de 3 points 2 years ago

More realistic.

"Look, I'm not good with people, especially when I find them annoying. So if you think I'm a bitch it's just because I don't like you 💖"

[–] gvasco@discuss.tchncs.de 10 points 2 years ago

Yeah, and they're probably the first to accuse you of weaponizing your neurodivergence or depression/burnout.

I've known a guy making predictions using astrology. Then his predictions completely missed COVID, only one of the biggest disruptions in our lives, and never talked about astrology again.

[–] SuzyQ@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 years ago

Ha! This bitch is a Sagittarius! 🤣 lol

... Which I've read into in my younger years and often went "that's not me, that's not me at all."

[–] DarkDiamondK@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

One time I told this girl I've known for a long time that my birthday was in June and she said "wait your a cancer? that explains so much" and I really wanted to say "really, so what explains why you're such a bitch" unfortunately I was surrounded by a bunch of kids at the time so my rebuttal had to go missed

[–] Melatonin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 2 years ago

"Wait you believe in astrology? That explains so much"

[–] Melatonin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 2 years ago

To be fair though, Scorpios are bitches. I mean, they're no Aries, but the shoe fits.

[–] Rachelhazideas@lemm.ee 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Guys be hating on zodiac signs while making their entire personalities about Myers-Briggs pseudoscientific bullshit.

[–] SheDiceToday@eslemmy.es 1 points 2 years ago

I'm pretty sure that I'm smart because I avoid both. I base my personality on the ancient dinosaurs test.

[–] Letstakealook@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago

One of the managers at my job does this but with her disc profile. She makes everyone take one when they start as well. She seems to believe she's the smartest person in the room, yet she's over here eating up pseudoscience because she thinks it excuses her shitty behavior.
