Part of me hopes that it’s astrologer Susan Miller. If she actually believes the utter garbage of astrology, there is a word for her and it’s “Goodbye”. If she doesn’t and this is preying on the gullible, there might be other words.
Though either way, someone who claims to be able to foretell the future really shouldn’t have a website that looks like it was designed in the 1980s.
But then, no, hang on, websites are technology and Miller says that this is a bad time to spend any cash on technology. Specifically now, as in some period of weeks around here: I refuse to indulge the nonsense by stating the dates she gives. There’s not a whole lot of point, really: it’s all bollocks and at the end of the period astrologers will says “see? told you” and everybody sensible will have forgotten this crap existed. The only ones left paying attention will be the aforementioned gullible and, you know, there’s just so much you can do to help people.
Such as quoting astrologers and laughing. Miller has been talking to Time magazine, which I usually rather enjoy, saying that we shouldn’t buy iPhones right now because Mercury is in retrograde. Uh-huh. I’m guessing that means we’re at the spot in Mercury’s orbit where because we’re also moving in an orbit we appear to overtake it so Mercury’ seems to fall back or something. Mercury’s fine. Orbiting away. It’s all in how you look at it, where you stand and how stupid you are.
But I can’t accuse someone of having no scientific basis without asking if they have evidence and there is some. There’s proof:
Miller says that her daughter — “an Aries, they never trust what you say and have to do their own little empirical research” — once bought a laptop during Mercury retrograde and had to sell it on eBay after realizing she hadn’t bought enough hard drive space.
Those Aries rascals. No possible chance that they cocked up and regretted saving some cash by buying a low-spec computer, no. It has to be that the stars and planets of the entire universe aligned across the infinite cosmos to tell her she shouldn’t have gone to Currys.
Talk about not taking responsibility.
