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

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

also i have a hard time thinking of a country/govt where the popular politics would have any support for including anything but the name it’s had since the 1500s. maybe far-right america stans like poland and hungary?

nor tim apple (at least yet)

lmao

not a single international body or government besides the US domestically has approved anything besides “gulf of mexico,” so this is just plain american cultural imperialism. fuck google

if trump’s not a racist then david duke’s a BLM organizer and biden’s a leading activist for jewish voice for peace

lmao he’s such an attention whore, can’t do the tiniest thing without a long-winded petty dramatic post about it

Angela Merkel also repeatedly referred to the security of Israel as Germany’s historical duty and “reason of state”

he didn’t though, at least in the mainstream. liberals made him this funny thirsty trend for like a week and a half before they forgot about the whole thing, without having any serious class dialogue.

bit shy of 1 in 10,000

going off a bit of a tangent: my mom’s a former nursing assistant who went into debt studying to become an LP-nurse when i was in middle school. as an assistant nurse, she developed arithitis from lifting patients with mobility issues every workday, yet she hasn’t been able to afford a doctor’s appointment in years (or eye care, or dental care). by the book, 2 workers should be lifting patients with proper technique, yet that’s rarely the case due to intentional under-staffing and time constraints.

she usually worked in nursing homes; dressing people, hand feeding them, showering/bathing them, cleaning their excrement, etc. nursing assistants spend the most amount of time with patients, so she made a ton of meaningful connections with them over the years. a lot of patients would (and still do) tell her how they can’t afford treatment or surgery themselves. after a patient passed (some of whom she’d be grieving over), she and a coworker were usually in charge of cleaning their stiffening bodies and lifting them into bags to be sent to the morgue.

assistant nursing (along with regular nursing to an extent) is one of the most dangerous jobs in the US by far, with up to 60% of facing an injury per year (most commonly back injuries). figuratively and literally the backbone of the healthcare industry who work for barely above minimum wage with little direction or support. if anyone has the most reason to [REDACTED] and [REDACTED], it’s them

unfortunately most people turned it into a funny trend to talk about how cool and hot he is and moved on instead of creating any substantial mainstream dialogue on class consciousness. didn’t help that he had incoherent politics and his (supposed) manifesto didn’t say much.

i guess the halo effect helped more people agree with his actions, but part of me wonders how different we’d talk about if the shooter was an average joe with a story to tell, like a 50 year old denied life saving treatment, or someone like my mom: she works in healthcare, yet can’t afford medical treatment for issues working in healthcare caused

random sampling, cant store data for trillions of googles so they take a small fraction of them at a time

“pizza” is actually shrinking a bit lately. google doesn’t seem to measure “interest” based on the raw number of searches for something, they measure it relative to total search volume for everything. otherwise, you could look at search trends starting 20 years ago and almost every line would show searches skyrocketing as more people use google, yet when i change the data of these generic searches to 2004-present, there’s 0 noticeable trend difference

imagining him falling face-first but his head bends just enough for the saggy mashed potatoes in his neck wattle to hit the ground first, which end up being bouncy enough to act like an airbag to absorb the impact as the pouch compresses and violently jiggles

also, i think most temu shoppers seem to literally believe they’re buying from a child sweatshop operation, but don’t give a shit. the idea child sweatshops are a common thing in modern china seems to be US propaganda (although i’m sure there’s still unethical practices akin to US companies like amazon), but the point is, these people think they’re buying from child labor, but don’t care, whatsoever.

it seems like admitting you shop from temu is actually somewhat taboo in gen z. i remember someone in my class mentioned shopping there and the girls she was talking with gave her a funny look and were like, “don’t they use child labor?” not to mention, whenever you open the comment section on a temu ad/sponsorship on tiktok or insta, the comments are full to the brim with people accusing them of slavery.

on the other hand, i’ve seen videos with hundreds of thousands of likes making “dark humor” jokes like “these little kids better be working overtime so i get my package on time” or “when you get a note begging for help in your temu package but it came 3 days late,” which honestly made me stomach churn at how sociopathic the ultra treatlerists are. don’t get me started on the shein addicts, GO TO A THRIFT STORE IF UR BROKE YET WANT A NEW OUTFIT EVERY WEEK!

TLDR: americans are propagandized to believe they’re buying from chinese child slaves but half of them are too sick and evil for the propaganda to make any difference
