Here google. It’s correct here. Nothing to change.
E: i love the DV, denying geography lol
I don’t recommend Google Maps anymore. It’s a really shitty map. I’ve been reporting bugs for ages and they never fix them. Also the GPS is really terrible, it sets the road full of constant turns and forces you to drive on small narrow internal roads instead of normal open roads. The localisation option sucks too, it keeps showing me that I’m somewhere else and my position is always a few metres off and it’s so delayed that you don’t know if you’ve made a good turn or not unless you wait like half a minute. Also the glitches in the map, missing locations, blurry photos, random photos swapped around and extreme inconsistencies. It’s crazy that this shit is still being used. I bought a dedicated GPS for a car and in my phone and PC, I use OpenStreetMaps or its forks.
I have a tiny penis. But I know a guy who has my real penis. I call his penis my penis. Trust me guys, its big!
It’s only the Gulf of America in the United States lol
The United States of Northern Mexico?
Google added that the name Gulf of Mexico will remain displayed for users in Mexico. Users in other countries will see both names, the company said.
Yeah. “Both Names” for other countries is a bit lame but better than just Gulf of America everywhere.
The Denali / McKinley thing is pretty awful though. I hadn’t realised Trump had changed that too.
This should be only for users in that shithole.
Vote to change it to Gulf of Luigi
I support this.
But we should probably at least have a conversation with Mexico about it, since something like half of their country borders it. IDK, I failed geography.
Why is anyone using twitter anyway? Bring back blog post press releases
European golf players now name this gulf: The Gulf Of Trumps Lost Golf Balls
Like a little bitches they are…
Of course they will.
If you are close enough to it for the name to have any relevant reference, you’re just guna say Gulf anyway.
True. This is how it is with [Arabian|Persian] Gulf.
Reminds me a lot of after 9/11 when they tried to change French Fries to Freedom fries. That stuck about as well as water on teflon.
Anytime I hear someone complain about cancel culture I bring up freedom fries.
Keep reporting it as a bug.
They never fix bugs in maps. Some places IRL even got renamed, because it was easier than fixing the name in google maps.
Do you have any examples? It’s impossible to find with a search with the recent news.
Sorry, unable to find it now either and my memory fails me. There’s a chronically mislabeled place near where I live, but I don’t want to doxx myself. So, please have this vaguely related fun story instead: https://www.thesun.ie/news/14465782/ghost-aldi-supermarket-tourists-lorry
There’s little point in doing so, other than the feel-good moment. Google, and all other mapping companies, ultimately take their data from official sources. This differs per country, so users of maps from outside of the US will continue to see Gulf of Mexico, but complaining that it is wrong will only be ignored because they’re following the data from the official US government source.
Another day another issue that completely doesn’t matter at all to distract from the fact that our politicians are incapable of actually fixing any of our problems.
incapable of actually fixing
Or making them worse. He just upped taxes on the lower classes and gave the rich tax breaks… again.
Draining the swamp!
Politicians are more than capable of solving our problems. They’re paid not to.
I think you’re overestimating humans. Even if we actually attempted to solve all of our problems I seriously doubt we can. I do wonder how much better things could be though.

What are you talking about? Oligarchs are living their best lives right now. Trump is in office and there is nothing that is not up for sale. If you have big money right now, the US is your oyster. Bend the knee, kiss the ring and grease the palm. You’ll walk away with your own fiefdom. Pay a bit more and he’ll rent an office in the White House.

They’re not incapable, they just don’t care. They’re your problems after all, not theirs.
The Left: its called an Allow List now, you racists! The Right: its called the Gulf of America, you commies!
Jesus, we’re pathetic.
One is propaganda made up by right wing nerds and one is the president of fucking america if you didnt catch how silly you were being right now
Nobody calls it that though. No one who is actually left-wing thought that calling them blacklist / white list was offensive.
Is this another of those things where someone wrote some mild Substack post about “maybe the phrase black list does imply black = bad” that maybe five people read before conservatives decided that it represents the ideological position of all leftists?
We?
