    I saw Openheimer last night and it suuuuuucked. I mean there were a few ok sequences, but def not worth 3 hours of my life.

    Proof again that Nolan should stick to fiction.

      They did, and decided to blame it all on those “darn liberal city slickers with their fancy book learning”.

      Source: Right now they’re literally blaming books for their problems, and are banning and burning them.


      Conservatives all blame someone or something else for their problems, and even dismiss them exisiting until it happens to themselves or someone close to them.

      As a member of the south, I can say with confidence: You do NOT want the south to sit down and discuss anything… The results would be disastrous.

    I only know that Oppenheimer is a movie because of that IMAX post the other day, but I now have to ask: there’s a Barbie movie?

          I saw Openheimer last night and it suuuuucked. Def not worth 3 hours of my life, and proof again that Nolan should stick to fiction.

          And quite a few people left before it was over.

          Barbie, I’m seeing tonight, and am pumped about it.

            I saw it last night too and thought it was excellent. It’s long but the story is being told in a way that continuously moves it forward at a steady pace. I can see that it wouldn’t be for everyone though. I happen to love a lot of movies surrounding the world wars and just read the Agent Sonya book which ties into the whole Russia part of the movie on how they advanced on nuclear technology. I’m also really looking forward to a nice toke and watching Barbie though!

            I saw the trailer for the first time a few days ago and thought it looked boring. Barbie on the other hand looks like it should be fun.

      Is the bomb program really that strong a part of the state identity? Can some locals comment?

      I assume because Mississippi is so horrible they need escapism to mentally survive. It’s also possible there are more families with young children in the South.

      Los Alamos is worth a visit. The lab is locked down (a road goes through it, you are not supposed to take pictures), but there are a couple really neat museums. One of the retired age volunteers at the museum asked us how deep of a discussion we wanted. He went down a deeep rabbit hole of chemistry and mechanical bomb design. It was obvious he had strong knowledge of how atom bombs worked. It was glorious. And the boys boarding school is also neat.

      This is Google trends, so it’s not necessarily trending because they like the movie. It could be hate trending cuz of the “feminism”

    While most of the states with zero are searching for both equally, I get the feeling that Wyoming is zero because no one searches for either.

    As a colorblind person, fuck whoever decided on the colors for this image. I hope they meet a very angry porcupine.

      I used to run /u/dalton-bot on Reddit. Maybe I should learn how to use the Lemmy API to make a Lemmy bot.

      Assuming you’re on a phone, do you not have a colourblind filter in your device’s accessibility settings? I introduced a colourblind mate to that a few years ago and he was blown away.

      Can you provide some detail on your comment? As a non colorblind person, I would like to understand how this image could have been modified to include our colorblind brethren.

        I am red-green colorblind. So certain shades of colors like that I literally can’t see. Blue and purple are issues, and certain shades of yellow and green.

        In the image above, I cannot really see a difference in the extremes of the legend. The gradient is definitely not helping. I can see the difference when put near each other. Like Mississippi and New Mexico are clearly on opposite sides, but I would not be able to tell you which direction either leaned because I can’t see what the legend is showing. Likewise most of the states mean nothing to me since they’re part of the gradient itself going towards colors I can’t distinguish a direction from. Without the numbers, this map would mean nothing to me.

        Simply put, pick colors on opposite sides of the color wheel when trying to show differences like this with gradients and you’re more likely to to okay. Don’t pick colors that are next to each other. TRhis might as well have been a blue/purple gradient with an extra z-dimension for time or some crap,

        It’s not gray, almost no one actually sees in greyscale, despite the jokes. It’s always just certain shades the eyes can’t distinguish differences from.

        A good example for other common colors, is peanut butter looks like a shade of like greenish tan or maybe dark khaki, not brown as most people describe it to me.

        A decent resource to explain visually for those that can actually see the full range of color: https://enchroma.com/blogs/beyond-color/how-color-blind-see

          Hey there, sorry to bother you even more, but I’ve got a follow up question. You said working with complementary colors (“opposite sides of the color wheel”) might work better, so in general it’s easier to distinguish for red-green colorblind people. I’ve always thought it was especially hard to distinguish red from green in those cases, but red and green are complementary colors. Where did I go wrong here? Is it something I misunderstood from your explanation or is it my understanding of red-green colorblindness that’s just wrong?

            They are complementary, but not on the opposite side of the color wheel. They are primary or secondary complements, depending on if you are in additive (light) or subtractive (paint) color-space. The exact opposite of red is cyan, and the opposite of green is magenta

          Thanks for the writeup! If I were giving a presentation explaining the Four Color Theorem, which four colors should I choose to accomodate folks with colorblindness?

        It looks like going from blue (-20) to white to blue (+20). It could be modified by using a different color palette - for example blue/green, blue/red, yellow/blue. A good indicator is also if the colors are still discernable in grayscale altough this will be pretty much impossible on a divergent color scale unless you add a second identifier such as dots.
