Talking about psychics while walking into work. Is it real? Who knows! But it's a story to tell.

- and to anyone who wants to chime in with "People want to be deceived", I cordially invite you to go fuck yourself until you die from it.

People want to trust & there's some despicable assholes who see this - one of humanity's greatest assets - as an opportunity for grift. The fault is on THAT side, not on the side of people behaving like human beings.

@rebeccawatson #psychics #skeptic #fraud

saw this & my first inclination was to block it as I do all #scams that hit my feed

but on this day, when i've called out #religion for the #scam it is

I felt it would be hypocritical of me to not call out #psychics #clairvoyance #tarot #astrology #crystals etc for what they are - another #grift that preys on people's hopes & fears

or at best mindless entertainment, like #realitytv - harmless as long as people know it's all fake

or else, people might mistake a #grifter for a businessman

Bonus #Joke
Q: What’s the most musical part of a turkey?
A: The drumstick.
