Re: Oh please can we have astrological wank, oh please?

(Anonymous) 2012-12-27 03:11 am (UTC)(link)
I actually specifically said "I don't have to believe anything about the personality/horoscope shit to like that part." and narrowed it down to the sign itself. You don't assign astrological signs by personality, you assign them by date of birth. Therefore, you objectively are an Aquarius, Taurus, Scorpio, etc. What a little twit you are.

Reading comprehension? Bitch, please. Tell me more about how desperately you want to be in a fake wizarding club.

As far as being a dog person--you like dogs? Refer to yourself as a dog person? Then you are a dog person. You like people? Are really outgoing? You are an extrovert. If you don't like your family members, and don't talk to them, you're still an extrovert because extrovert doesn't mean "literally likes everyone".

Twit.

You sound like a lovely person, calling people twits over such an utterly unimportant difference of opinion.

I think you missed funyarinpainahat's point, as well as that as the anon above you. If someone out-of-the-blue describes themselves as an Aquarius, it probably means they were not only born at the time to be called that but also that the horoscope matches their personality. "Dog person" doesn't just mean "person who likes dogs" because, as the anon above you pointed out, it has an association with being playful, physically active, friendly, outgoing, extroverted. And even "extrovert" is often used to mean "outgoing and friendly person" instead of just "person who gets energy from socialization." When people choose labels to identify with it usually says more about their personality than the literal definition of the label.

And even with your argument about literal, objective labels, "Hufflepuff" can still be an objective label. RL Hufflepuff = "someone who got sorted into Hufflepuff on Pottermore." Certainly no less meaningless than Zodiac signs.

Uh, "bitch, please" is actually calling someone a bitch, you know? And I'll call anyone a twit who's first called me a bitch.

And I disagree, dog person does not have a meaning beyond "prefers dogs". Some people identify with other behaviors beyond that, but it's not necessarily true.

https://www.google.com/search?source=dict-chrome-ex&defl=en&hl=en&q=extrovert&tbo=1&tbs=dfn:1

This is the definition of extrovert. And, as I said, one can objectively like the company of others in such a way they are an extrovert.

And since Hufflepuff is supposed to mean 'magical hat sorted me into magical school house', no, one can't be a Hufflepuff. I can make a quiz saying whether or not you're personality is 'more' Aquarius or something, but I'd be wrong if you were not born at the right time.

Re: the only opinion that matters

How do you think those dates were assigned to those signs? The "zodiac" most commonly used doesn't match up to the positions of the stars anymore, so the signs really are arbitrary. "Aquarius" doesn't mean much more than "A bunch of crackpots decided that, because the sun transited the constellation of Aquarius on January 25th 1,000 years ago, I was born under a magical sign!"

Just because "Aquarius" more commonly accepted than "Hufflepuff" doesn't mean it's any less strange as a self-descriptor.

Re: the only opinion that matters

(Anonymous) 2012-12-27 05:01 am (UTC)(link)
There is a technical date for it. I don't care how they were assigned. They are accepted, and there's a precise date for them. You are an Aquarius, or you are not. And I've already expressed the personality part is stupid.

There is no Sorting Hat, you can't become a Hufflepuff.

Re: the only opinion that matters

(Anonymous) 2012-12-27 05:24 am (UTC)(link)
There are ranges of dates, and there are different zodiacs with different ranges of dates. (And who really does "accept" them nowadays, anyway?)

"Hufflepuff" in this case is just a descriptor of...oh, forget it. Be one with the spirit of Hufflepuff. Believe in the Hufflepuff that exists within you.

Re: the only opinion that matters

(Anonymous) 2012-12-27 06:02 am (UTC)(link)
I honestly don't see how that makes a difference. So what if there are ranges of dates? Different zodiacs? You belong to all of them, because the zodiac ONLY means 'you were born on this date', and all other definitions wildly vary. Again, you keep trying to make this about the horoscope mumbo jumbo. I'm just talking dates and names.

Re: the only opinion that matters

(Anonymous) 2012-12-27 08:03 am (UTC)(link)
There are no set dates and names.

Re: the only opinion that matters

(Anonymous) 2012-12-27 10:22 am (UTC)(link)
What? Is January 8 not a date to you? Is "Capricorn" not a word?

End of discussion.
