No, see y'all've got it backwards. It's the Gulf of America, not the Gulf of the United States of America. He's making it more inclusive!

just when you think this timeline can’t get any stupider.

someone needs to make a Firefox plugin that reverts the change.

Send error reports for every body of water in the unites States.

Label them all the gulf of mexico.

When they do it, We need to encourage people to report it as incorrect information. If everyone does it then it may be enough for show we don’t want this and don’t want to be seen as the fools the White House actually is.

They honestly feel a bit like a satirical version of North Korea by isolating themselves with certain policies, and making crazy threats to anyone they can.

Those companies always gravel, in China Taiwan is probably called “China’s island resort ️”

[kitnaht@lemmy.world]

Honestly, since it's between North America and South America -- I'm kind of indifferent about it. It being called Gulf of Mexico or Gulf of America isn't going to really change anything.

This has "freedom fries" energy all over it.

Wow. I did not expect to see the current amoutnt of boot licking by practically all of big tech and tech-bros. This can't be good. They certainly expect to get something in return from the current administration. Likely some dystopian end-stage capitalism?!

If it doesn't matter then why change it at all?

[rentlar@lemmy.ca]

Google maps classifies USA as sensitive country

Should be called "snowflake" country

[kitnaht@lemmy.world]

I dunno - why do you change your style of clothes in different seasons?

Because you want to. Does it need a greater explanation than that?

[devfuuu@lemmy.world]

should have been 'gulf of muricunts'

[nwtreeoctopus@sh.itjust.works]

Just change every "X of Y" to "X of America."

Then we'll change the X, also to "America."

[jabathekek@sopuli.xyz]

but we already have dystopian end-stage capitalism at home

[nwtreeoctopus@sh.itjust.works]

If "my" candidate wanted to do it, I'd seriously reconsider their fitness for office.
