if that were the case it’d say “Gulf of Mexico” throughout latin america. but they’ve set it to include both names in every country besides the US and Mexico

The decision is made by a bunch of white Americans in Silicon Valley though

One country’s trash is another country’s treasure

Depending on where the app detects you are, google maps shows different borders and names. So to some countries, it’ll show “Gulf of America”, “Gulf of Mexico”, or even “Gulf of Mexico (Gulf of America)”. This is just based on what they perceive to be the most popular politics are in that particular country/government

A famous example is that the borders of India are slightly smaller or bigger depending if you’re in Pakistan, India, or China due to all the border disputes those 3 countries have the region

Omg I’m looking at the pull request for this change right now and there’s almost 100 comments on it

Most of it are random software engineers from various ethnicities suggesting better translations for the non-English changes

People were debating exactly what the geographic boundaries/regions are for the which version you would see to decrease the odds of overall public backlash worldwide

Some people were trying to protest the change and citing laws and saying Google shouldn’t kowtow to Trump

Lush pays BELOW market wage for retail workers y’all. They take advantage of their strong branding and their fans hoping to be employees + the strong female and queer retail employee base to undercut salaries

This isn’t a Costco or In N’ Out type company

The computing services and e-commerce monopoly + the carbon credits scam monopoly

Important thing to keep in mind is when to give up. If after showing them the facts of Taiwanese opinions on independence, history of colonialism, fascism, and oppression they still disagree, you stop trying and do better things with your time. You have limited time and energy to agitate people, always go for the easiest targets to maximize your results

It’s so funny too because Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act and ofc the bombing of Nordstream both destroyed so much of Europe’s green energy manufacturing for America’s gain

not really that simple tbh. stock market is having insane performances despite high inflation and the USD relative to other major currencies have also been gaining, not losing despite the high inflation because it’s not the currency getting weaker it’s stupid trade war shit and price gouging

I have no dreams of buying a house (or even apartment) anymore, just rent4life baby

It’s expensive as balls but I buy leftover addy from a few kids living in the college dorms across the street from my place lmao

I side-eye tf out of socialists who still watch shit like SNL cause like there’s infinite amounts of content on the internet and you choose this?

Missing the forest for the trees imo

Younger people are increasingly looking to past decades for cultural inspiration. From fashion to music mediums like vinyls and cassettes. I think it’s because they’re by far the most hopeless generation so far, and they can’t really envision any happy future or really, any future at all with global warming, decreasing living standards, technological control, etc

So they look back at the good old days before any of this was a concern to Westerners. Even their online aesthetics only come as far as the early early internet days before everything was so hypercommodified by companies and it was mostly just people fucking around making things they enjoyed with no profit incentive in mind
