: I joke and say I am cursed, though I have not joked that the curse has made me seriously consider changing my first name to Cassander. Why, you ask?
To be extremely brief, I am very good at forecasting. I also joke and call it an Aspie superpower, but really nearly anyone can do it if they apply themselves over time. This morning I mention it due to a Thing That Happened.
I was worried for a good friend's film production, and I was right. $770K, and the completion bond folks are now there.
@thedisasterautist As a Cassandra, I have decades of experience making spot-on predictions that are almost always ignored. It’s a gift and a curse wrapped in one lovely package.
@cassandra17lina: It's no fun.
People wind up avoiding you because of it. You develop a reputation, and others will latch on to it and misread you as well based on what others say/lie.
It keeps your circle tiny AF.
