Well now this was just pleasantly well written.

Well google is a US country, so google bending the knee to Trump is fairly expected.

But sure, if NZ wants to call itself Aotearoa, google should change that. Is Mexico wants to rename it to Mexico Americana, go for it.

If the Mexican people take Umbridge with their government renaming their local maps, take it up with the government, not the map drawers.

What does google have to gain from saying no? A mild recapture of respect from the people with no political power?

Also the territory isn’t there’s, sure, but it’s also no one’s. If weird ass trump wants to rename it in their countries name, go for it.

Google shows Gulf of Mexico to Mexico, and both names to every other country.

As Bannon literally pointed out, this is absolutely a Trump tactic, to firehouse the news with bullshit stories, and THIS is comparatively a non issue.

Eh I’m on the opposite side, despite being a massive lefty. Why would an american company not follow an American dictate just for America? (It’s still called the Gulf of Mexico on Google in every other country) It sets a wild precedent where private businesses refuse to follow the fairly inconsequential requests of their government.

Sure, but if the OP is talking about “bad president” taking away rights, and the only right being infringed you’ve mentioned is immigrants getting deported, doesn’t every president have an immigration policy? Therefore isn’t every president infringing on said rights?

I just want people to be specific. Right wingers are so slimy and nebulous in their prose, avoiding all specifics to ensure they can’t get fact checked. If you’re gonna make fun of em, I just ask one to be specific.

Honest question, what inalienable rights are being taken away?

Oh good! Japanese restaurants are often a crapshoot for vegan options, I was concerned how well I’d eat when I one day visit the actual country.

Oh god I want to gift ALL OF MY NEIGHBOURS BATTERY LEAF BLOWERS. I bought one, it’s amazing, and we’re about to go into autumn 🤢

I don’t care much about the supposed fidelity, but having a group of mates around each pick an album from my stack is a lot of fun.

It stops people from focusing too hard on the music and going “oh wait lemme queue up this track” etc.

Are you guys just generating insanely difficult code? I feel like 90% of all my code generation with o1 works first time? And if it doesn’t, I just let GPT know and it fixes it right then and there?

India and China look to wealthy western nations that cluck their tongues: “only WE can destroy the planet to take our citizens out of poverty”.

When in reality, we should be giving a massive portion of our budget to help them grow in a carbon neutral way.

I’d happily pay an extra 20% in my annual tax to help fund rising nations grow in a healthy manner.

Had no idea what this was before watching it, became my favourite movie of the year, what a treat of a film.

You know if we all stopped eating the cows in the top right of the picture, 75% of all land used for agriculture is returned to us. The majority of crops grown are used to feed cows.

Yeah that’s why I mentioned it’s data for seppos only. In a quick search, I found a newspaper article from 1927 suggesting outrage at nude swimming, although it seems to be in a mixed gender pool.

Hmm, I was partially correct, nude swimming for MEN was common until ~1970, and was rare for women. Bearing in mind this is data for seppos.

Man, back in the 50s or whatever, going to the pool nude was just the norm. Why can’t we just swim in the nude if we want?

That anaesthesia policy was completely misread by us lefties. From what I understand, some anaesthesiologists (the highest paid professions in the world) were deliberately inflating the numbers on certain procedures to get more money from the patient and their insurances.

Doctors reports of procedure length weren’t matching up with the anaesthesiologists, and the new limits were apparently well within expected procedure ranges. It had caveats for if the doctor reported that the procedure ran long, so patients wouldn’t get stung by complications.

The only people that won was the anaesthesiologists and their (now E en moreso) enormous payslips.

I (a vegan) got banned from there for finding the love of cows cloying. I said we shouldn’t have to pretend cows are cute to convince others not to kill and eat them.

It really isn’t a place for even back and forth amongst friends, “no conversation - only agreement”

Oh we’re so sorry to hear about your deal that fell through, it gets five big booms.

I got a $700AUD tiger rice cooker for Christmas this year, best gift. The rice is so qualitatively different it’s insane, plus I’ve been cooking meals for my Gf every day since I’ve gotten it.
