Iā€™m hoping this movie is as fun as it looked in the trailer but Iā€™m also bracing to be disappointed.

I recently saw the new TMNT movie and I have to say I really liked it a lot. I didnā€™t grow up with the TMNT, so itā€™s hard for me to say how accurate it is to the originals, but I thought the animation was phenomenal and the story itself was very solid too.

Iā€™ve seen a lot of people praising the animation, so Iā€™m not going to include too much detail on why I liked it (to avoid retreading too much ground), but I really liked how grounded and relatable everyoneā€™s motivations were. Wanting to fit in and be a part of a community is such a quintessential human experience; and lashing out from fear of rejection is extremely relatable as well.

The humor seems aimed pretty solidly at millennials (based on the references made throughout the movie), and I was surprised how adult this kidsā€™ movie was.

Overall, I greatly enjoyed this movie; and after Barbenheimer last week, itā€™s been a good week for movies for me

MountainBr3w ,

Since this seemed more adult to you, would you say itā€™s inappropriate for a 6yo?

UrLogicFails ,

I think it should be OK. The movie was rated PG, though it feels like it rides the line with PG-13 a little. I saw the movie almost a week ago so I donā€™t remember exactly what made me think that at the time, but I was a little surprised by some of the musical cues (though my understanding is some of them are in the trailers). When I said it was adult, I just meant that it didnā€™t talk down to the audience in a way that would annoy adults

I personally didnā€™t find any of it particularly objectionable, but I might not be the right person to ask. This website seems to think 11+, but this is the first time Iā€™ve looked at the site so Iā€™m not sure how accurate their rating system is.

MountainBr3w ,

Thanks. I usually go to that site but theyā€™ve been trying to force subscriptions so itā€™s faded my usage. I think Iā€™ll hold off watching with the kids for now.

ruk_n_rul , to til in TIL that climbing the full height of Everest means starting at sea level

I believe the term for height from base is called prominence. The highest one can climb is Denali in Alaska, at around 5500m. Obviously omitting mountains that have their bases on the ocean floor like Mauna Kea ofc.

EvilHankVenture ,

Prominence is a bit more complicated than that. It refers to the height of a mountain or hillā€™s summit relative to the lowest contour line encircling it but containing no higher summit within it. Everestā€™s prominence is actually still its height above sea level.

porous_grey_matter ,

Everest is a bit unique in that regard since, as the highest peak, by definition it canā€™t have any higher peaks within any contour around it.

Empricorn , to til in TIL the difference between deflagration and detonation. Deflagration is subsonic combustion (ex: gunpowder), while detonation is supersonic combustion (ex: dynamite).

Almost all firecrackers deflagrate, rather than detonate.

tiredofsametab , to til in TIL there's an Arkansas City in Kansas, and Arkansas is pronounced with the 's' so it rhymes with "Kansas"

Ohio is great for shit pronunciations of town names.

Bellfountaine - bell FOUN'n (the t drops there in most dialects, some would say 'fountain' with the the first syllable stressed).

Versailles - verSAILS

Medina - muhDYEnuh

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

We have ā€œverSAILSā€ in Indiana too. Also:

Peru - Pee-roo

Russiaville - Roosha-vil

Lebanon - Lebā€™nun

My favorite though is that there are two spellings for the Wabash river: Wabash and Ouabache. And despite being in a town that is on the Wabash River, the local Oabache Elementary School is pronounced: Wah-bat-shee.

hate2bme ,

Right down the road from Versailles is the town I grew up in and the movie Hoosiers is based off of. Milan (pronounced my - lan)

tiredofsametab ,

I think y'all also have KAY-row (Cairo) if I remember right. (or maybe that's Illinois?)

emmeram ,

The pronunciation of Lebanon you called out may sound like it came from a hayseed, but itā€™s closer to the way people in the country of Lebanon pronounce it than the mainstream American pronunciation.

My extended family is from a tiny Ohio hill town named Antioch, pronounced ā€œannie-OCKā€.

I've been there a couple of times. I say the 't' in anti, but I guess the locals don't

KingJalopy ,

Thereā€™s a Miami, Oklahoma. Pronounced, ā€œMy-am-uhā€

emmeram ,

I submit: Gallipolis, Ohio.

tiredofsametab ,

or rio grande (rye-oh grand).

I'm not sure how Gallipolis should actually be pronounced. The ~polis suffix seems sensible enough, but not sure on the first part.

emmeram ,

Iā€™ve heard people pronounce it as ā€œgalli-PO-leaseā€

tiredofsametab ,

I would say the Ohio version gal-uh-puh-LISS and I think that's how people I knew from there said it, but it's been a couple decades, heh.

Your stylization is more correct than mine.

Well the article explains it.

An example of what it is, would be calling say a NK musician the North Korean Taylor Swift.

Instead of them standing up on their own accomplishments, we compare them to foreign cultures and devalue our own.

dsilverz , to til in Psychologists usually attribute belief in conspiracy theories to a number of psychopathological conditions such as paranoia, schizotypy, narcissism, and insecure attachment,
@dsilverz@thelemmy.club avatar

The text is not clear whether (a) conspiracy theories cause one to develop psychopathologies or (b) psychopathologies cause one to believe in conspiracy theories.

Regarding the scenario A, maybe, maybe itā€™s because when one finds out a shadowy world under the world weā€™re used to see, their own inner worlds fall down as they were expecting a better world since they were born?

Regarding the scenario B, maybe people with mental health issues are so misunderstood, neglected, bullied and rejected by society (especially by their own families) that they tend to dive themselves into shadowy waters inside the realm of thoughts, consequently finding solace at the knowledge of conspiracy theories?

I dunno, just some hypothesis basedā€¦ on my own personal experiencesā€¦ Maybe Iā€™m wrong.

WHYAREWEALLCAPS ,

Porque no los dos?

It's possible that both can exist.

I have had depression and anxiety for my entire life. I was treated for both. Then I found out I had ADHD and am on the autism spectrum. Guess what having those and being untreated can cause? Depression and anxiety(amongst others). This doesn't mean that everyone who has anxiety and depression have ADHD and autism. The brain and the mind are highly complex things and very, very often after multiple paths to the same thing.

dsilverz , (edited )
@dsilverz@thelemmy.club avatar

Yeah, exactly as you pointed outā€¦ both can and probably will coexist.

In my case, I also have been coping with depression and anxiety, but in my case itā€™s derived from my borderline and schizotypal personality disorders (mods: Iā€™m aware of the Rule 3 and this is just my life story). Ainā€™t no long-lasting friendship, no meaningful relationships, just a hunger for constantly seek knowledge, especially dark knowledge (for instance, I have recently been diving myself into the realm of occult practices, embracing worshiping of The Dark Mother Goddess Lilith). Conspiracies were part of this seeking for knowledge some time ago.

The overall human evilness is so clearly visible, and Iā€™m well aware of it since my early age. As Hobbes said, the evil is intrinsic to the mankind, and some attribute to him the quote: ā€œHomo homini lupus estā€ a.k.a. ā€œthe man is itā€™s own wolf (predator)ā€. Worldā€™s like the worsened version of Danteā€™s Inferno (because, differently from our world, that Inferno donā€™t pretend not being hell), and I found out that weā€™re powerless to our own shadows, the only solution is to hug and embrace the so-feared demonsā€¦ literally.

Conspiracy theories are just ways that try to detail and explain the most intricate evilness behind the curtains, but one doesnā€™t even need to rely to conspiracy theories to see how world is not a beautiful bright fairy tale.
