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

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
