    If you put any stock in the fortunes, IMO that’s in the same ranks as crystals and witchcraft. Maybe it’s not necessarily a belief in God, but it’s epistemologically the same.

      My god, the no fun police. Fortune cookies are just a fun little thing people have entertaining thought experiments on what the statement in the cookie could be related to in their lives. There is a very near 0 number of people who take these seriously.

        Plenty of people say the same thing about horoscopes and crystals, and at the same time plenty of my family members believe in those things wholeheartedly.

        They’re two different groups, and if you pay attention to the first words I wrote it’s obvious I’m not talking about the former.
