If you want to be a girl you can just be a girl. If you want to fly you can just fly fly. If you want to be an attack helicopter…

I'll have you know, I'm third generation attack helicopter and I'm still suffering from the after effects of classism against my people. Think before you judge, bigot /s

But seriously, I'm worried for (and scared of) people who don't realise things don't happen because they have willed it into being.

willed it into being.

I first heard of 'manifesting' at work the other day. Somebody said (slightly in jest, to their credit)

If you manifest hard enough miracles can happen.

Other team members sagely nodded their agreement.

I had never heard the word 'manifest' used in this sense before. If you manifest... what, exactly? If you manifest signs of COVID? If you manifest the cargo on your plane? So being the pedant I am I asked what it means and was told

It's just like... putting something out there in the universe?

At which point I knew this was going to get me nowhere, smiled, said 'I see' and dropped the subject.

I hate when people say it cause its like the most pathetic attempt at religious/mystical thinking… like newspaper astrology has deeper explanations…
