    Ok so now it’s no longer hiring managers, but a president with nukes. I’m losing track of what you’re trying to say. This stemmed from a comment about someone in a social circle using horoscopes and becoming a drag on the group.

      Here, full circle, special for you, all subtext removed. To whit:

      Having a subculture of stereotypes, vague prophecies, and self-proclaimed oracles is bad. The degrees of bad vary, but such a subculture is net negative at all levels. This is not a “bad apples” deal, as your original comment implied. It is a systemic problem, and using meaningless bullshit to stereotype people makes you a worse person, at any level.

        Just for me? Aw, thanks.

        Look man, your argument keeps moving. Phrenology and “zodiacal discrimination” to hiring managers to president with nukes (wtf lmao — how is this still “zodiacal discrimination”?). Each time I question one of them, you escalate to higher stakes instead of defending the claim you made. Now you frame it as “here, let me remove the subtext for you.” You never presented a cohesive argument. Don’t frame it as me having missed something — you never presented it.
