Mexican President Threatens to Sue Google Over 'Gulf of America' Label on Maps.
-
Well, the continent was named America, not the US continent. So the name Gulf of America just sounds right.
-
Mexico didn't own it before any more than the US owns it now. I don't like the nationalistic intentions, but I can rationalize it to myself that Mexico is also part of [North] America
-
No shit they didn't. And they never have. Because it was called the Gulf of Mexico before Mexico as a nation existed. It was called that because it was named after the Valley of Mexico, which was part of New Spain.. Mexico as a country didn't exist until centuries later.

Maybe actually read the history of this before deciding this is about anyone other than Trump claiming ownership of that gulf.
-
I thought it was called North America?
-
No one can own the Gulf anyway. Trump just wanted to stir shit up and people like you getting all bent out of shape are just playing into it. It's just a name

Oh, the cartel leader criminal is throwing a fit. Lmao

"Mount McKinley" is "just a name" for what is supposed to be called Denali. Ask an indigenous person if they think changing the name of a sacred mountain to the name of a man responsible for one of them many genocides of their people is "just a name."
Then ask virtually any black person if they don't care about Trump and Republicans restoring Confederate generals' names to military bases. Find out if they think it's "just a name."
Names have power and I'm amazed you don't realize that.

Republicans are so good at baiting liberals into useless bullshit arguments, while they plunder stuff that actually matters.

Not quite.
DuckDuckGo's results are a compilation of "over 400" sources according to itself, including Bing, Yahoo! Search BOSS, Wolfram Alpha , Yandex, and its own web crawler (the DuckDuckBot); but none from Google. It also uses data from sites such as wikipedia, to populate knowledge panel boxes to the right of the search results.

I'm telling you this is what he wants: people to get all worked up and virtue signaling for MAGA
-
Its main partnership is with Bing.
And this is why it's a problem: https://www.theregister.com/2022/06/17/brave_duckduckgo/

Ignoring my entire post is a choice, I'll give you that.
-
So you are gonna have to provide a source explaining how the president using an executive order to rename international water is "policy" that Google must follow.
They you'll have to explain why I, as a Canadian, have to see this stupid renaming in parentheses.
If the US truely doesn't have a system beyond "once the president orders it, it's renamed." That's their problem but I don't give a fuck what they call things and I don't know why google thinks I should.
-
It’s still preferable to vanilla bing and google because the privacy is stronger and it produces useful results. There is no perfect search engine, right now we have to compromise.
-
The East India Company is the first example that comes to mind. I'm sure others.
I really don't think we are living through unprecedented times, unfortunately. People have sucked for as long as we've existed.
-
Who should care about petty stuff .
Wether it's the orange clown trying to rename the Gulf of Mexico to the little unwashed cokehead making a point of calling Kiev Kiyv.
I'm surprised Google, that is100% a US regime tool didn't rename that Chinese province already. -
And I'm saying it's just a name. Call it whatever you want. He means it as a distraction. There's more important things
-
See, I learned this in Spanish class in my American high school, and I don't think that linguistic fact stuck with me! Thanks

California should rather join Denmark.
