    I assume North and South Carolina are green because you can name your kid just “Carolina”, so why is only one of the Washingtons green if we’re allowed to use partial names?

    Edit: Also Columbia is a name

      100%. I lost my enchroma’s a few years ago and earlier today I was thinking about buying another pair. I wonder if this would be any more readable with them.

      Many years ago my optometrist said that wearing a single ruby contact would help me by making reds and greens appear different between each eye. Maybe I should give it a shot on unreadable images like this.

      To be fair it’s his last name, and also like his agent name, right? But I do think Utah as a first name is SICK. But I’m from there sooo… lol

      Stage names are typically made up. That dancer you like named after a city is probably actually a Jennifer or an Amanda.

      As a joke, you’re damn right lol.

      In reality, back when I was bouncing strip clubs, it was car names that ended up grinding a pole. Mercedes in particular. Knew three different strippers named Mercedes, only ever met one with a state name that wasn’t a last name.

      One Porsche, one Ferrari.

      But the rest had pretty typical names, rather than being named after something. You’d run into names from languages other than English being placed on ladies that couldn’t speak them for sure. But nothing too weird.

      Also, in the joints I worked at, ladies working through school was more common than I expected, but far from being as many as you’d hear telling customers they were.

      This one place, a nicer joint, there was a lady that was doing a master’s in psychology, and she ended up kinda recruiting three other ladies from the same school that worked there for a while. And one of those got two of her friends jobs there, one as a dancer, the other behind the bar.

    I really feel like Colorado and Maine should not be grouped in with California and Idaho
