Vancouver Off-Topic / Current EventsThe off-topic forum for Vancouver, funnies, non-auto centered discussions, WORK SAFE. While the rules are more relaxed here, there are still rules. Please refer to sticky thread in this forum.
I was wondering if any of you have ever had your fortunes read from someone from around here or maybe in another country. Did they ever come true?
I know that many of you will be skeptical to the responses and criticisms raised by asking such a question, but I think it's pretty interesting and am wondering what type of answers I will get.
I've never had my own fortune read, but I have seen the fortune tellers at night markets before, and feel like they are probably not very "legit."
Since I personally believe that we are maturing into the 'heart' of the information age, the existence of prophecy over absolute 'facts' and 'data' seem to be an outdated way of thinking, but arguably completely necessary.
For starters, we humans are limited. We can only understand time as a line, and a flow starting somewhere, and going forward into forever. There's past, present, and future. The problem with this is when presented with scenarios where our nice line is looped, whirled, and tangled in upon itself, we perceive a big ugly knot. I doubt anyone can ever fully explain "backwards" and "forwards" time travel to a point where we can all understand it.
Anyways, i'm gonna try and sleep, just had to get this off my chest.
If it's those fortune teller that look at your face and palm, they are not fortune telling.
A buddy of mine at work knows how to read face and palm a little bit and it's pretty true. Obviously, he can't tell if you'll become rich or not.
He can tell what kind of person you are and what kind of job you are suitable for.
Whichever hand you use, will be the hand to look at for your 30's and up. For example, if you're right handed, then your left handed is for your pre-30's and your right hand is your post 30's. Because you will be using your right hand most of your life, it will be the one with the lines and prints that develops throughout that period of your life.
And then there's the life line, brain line, all that kind of stuff. But to get into more details if you stretch your palm in a relaxed way, you will see the spacing between your fingers. The middle finger is you, the index finger is your parents, the ring finger is your wife and the pinky is your kids. If your ring finger is closer to your middle finger than your index finger is to your middle finger, it means that when you get married you will be closer to your wife than your parents, meaning you might move out with her and your parents will be living distant from you.
If the spacing between your pinky and your ring finger is more than the spacing between both your ring finger and index finger to your middle finger, it means your kids will grow up and be very independent. Maybe move out in their teens or once they get a girlfriend or whatever.
The size and length of your thumbs shows (i think) your work capabilities.
The shape of it determines how you judge, think and look at things. I remember him saying if your thumb has that hour glass shape, you are a person that likes to speak with reason. You can't be told to do things without a reason.
If your hand is bulky, like full of meat, especially between your index finger and your thumb, it means you are a very good liar, or is very good at covering the truth, like a poker game.
If your fingers are same length as your palm or longer, it means you're an office guy and will most likely get a job involving paperwork and not labour. If they're shorter, then you're more of a labour guy and have to do everything hands on.
For girls, if your palm is soft when you press it, it means that you get influenced very easy and is more likely to cheat on your husband. If they're hard, it means stand for your belief and will be more loyal to your husband. I can't remember what guys meant.
If your nose is very vivid, meaning it stands out, and not too high or low, you are a person that can be in command when it comes to work. Adding, if your cheek bones stands out, you are more of a leader than a worker. The size of your forehead shows your likeliness in being rich. A bold forehead shows that you think clearly when it comes to problem and think of ways to improve things. People with small forehead shows they don't have very much wisdom.
A round chinned person can't lie as good as a pointy chinned person. But that doesn't mean they're more honest.
There's more but I can't really remember off the top of my head right now.
originally my ex gf took me to see if we were compatible for each other.. well.. she's my ex gf now..
couple of my buddies were curious so i took them for fun.. fuck.. that year turned out to be really fucking shiittyy...

ive always wanted to go to one haha, every day i drive past canada way and edmonds and theres a neon sign in some houses window saying "psychic readings"...however i dont exactly believe anything they would tell me, i just want to see what the person would say. my guess is that the person will give me such vague undescriptive fortunes, that it could litterally mean ANYTHING and when something does happen in the near future ill be left standing there thinking "whoa...bitch was right..."
Well, it's basically an old trade or manipulation to get people to believe in what the fortune teller says.
Even now, there are people who are very gullible and very superstitious. When the fortune teller say one thing that matches, that person attention is startled.
I was going to make a thread on its own, but since this is thread is highly relevant and already exists, to keep VOT clean i'll keep this in here.
Quote this post with a quick resume about yourself (financial status, work experience, education, background, etc) and I will read it and tell you your fortune. Don't be shy

Hope this isn't a repost, lol.
You've been watching too much philosophical movies or something. I don't want to ruin your idea of fortunes, but really? Are you actually considering wasting your money on something like a fortune teller???
Here's how you test your fortune teller. Close both your hands. Ask him/her which you are going to open. Open the other hand he/she says.
Easy eh?
There are certain things we can control, and certain things we can't. Just because we have both doesn't mean that our futures are set in stone, let alone anyone can freaking predict it just by paying them some money.
Superstition is exactly like religion. Believing in something without any form of evidence. It's pretty much for the weak-minded.

That's not really a fortune telling, more like a life assessment. A fortune teller uses crystal balls, tarot cards, weegee boards, palm readings and lots of other bullshit to scam people out of hard earned money by providing some hopes and shit.
Yeah... I'm pretty sure if you start buying information in bulk which target certain people, you can easily create a 'fortune telling' service that would mindfuck people pretty easily.
So in all likelihood fortune tellers and prophets throughout the ages were probably getting their information from somewhere else and carefully hiding what they know to seem more mysterious and powerful with their mind reading techniques?
This is bullshit.
Even with predictions, they are often vague, and when they really happen,
whether a day later, a week, month, etc. You'll go back and think about this
fortune teller and think "Oh wow! it's true!"
Or you psychologically start to make things happen to fit what was predicted.
You might as well stick with the daily horoscope you get for free in the newspaper,
or crack open more fortune cookies. They're just as accurate as your fortune teller.
