It was automated so it wasn't that.
Once more, not saying the stars have anything to do with, except that they're in the sky in a particular time of year. If astrology is based on anything, it's probably the effects of the seasons.
So because facebook can place ads that are vague and general, does that mean that they also have some sort of scientific correlation to predicting the future? Yes right? i mean, it could be true, that your computer is reading your mind and putting this up there, your horoscope? also created by your laptop reading your brainwaves that are bouncing off the cats sonar dish outside, its possible.
We've wandered pretty far from the topic. None of that follows from anything I said.
Nonetheless, are those hypotheses possible? Sure. Likely? Probably not. But there's a chasm of difference between "extremely unlikely" and "absolutely false". Understanding the limitations of your knowledge, both incidental and fundamental, is central to successful scientific inquiry.
yea im not surprised that someone who puts vested interest in astrology charts also says "you know what, maybe" to your laptop reading your brain and advertising to you.
