I’m not sure what law it would break but it’s generally expected in business to follow local laws be it for contracts or certification.

Here’s blog by google https://blog.google/products-and-platforms/products/maps/gnis-lake-ontario-lake-america-name-change/

The U.S. Geographic Names Information System (GNIS) has formally changed the name for “Lake Ontario” to “Lake America” in the United States. Since we update Google Maps to reflect name changes in official government sources, which is GNIS for the U.S., people using Maps in the U.S. will see “Lake America,” those in Canada will continue to see “Lake Ontario,” and those outside of the U.S. and Canada will see both names. These updates follow our long-standing policy for bodies of water with names that vary from country to country, and are starting to roll out now.

I’m not sure what people expected. Apple maps renamed the gulf as well. Every commercial map service has to do it as it’s a regional law.

Americans should be upset and their broken politics not wait for corporations to stand up for them.

thedailybeast - it’s kinda in the name

Crazy that 34% still approve of him but I guess realistically it cant get that much lower considering 10% will always be contrarians and 20% is about amount of americans that actively want to destroy the American project. for context I’m not an american

Every cover by Scary Pockets is incredible like sweet child o’ mine

People are very negative in this thread but UBI is a good idea and AI tools offer enough pressure to make UBI a reality. This is good and I hope this happens.

not an american here but I can’t imagine this being real in any other serious country. This straight up feels like treason?

US not being able to tame a knee-deep pool is peak empire collapse indicator.

I mean of course they do - everyone does. That’s a given. The intelligence apparatus of every country is full of psychologists.

trump is definitely demented but this is definitely a propaganda bait.

Yeah but you’d think that at some point you’d reach diminishing returns where you’d get resistance but everyone in the american sphere of influence is either playing it low waiting for opportunities or are straight complicit.

It"s very clear that the trumps are building a personal empire and what is even more clear is that they are getting away with it as well. Like, how is it so easy? Is there no one just enough to standup to that? No one?

Surprise surprise a neo nazi does nazi things.

Being fooled is like, their whole thing lmao

Lmao, it’s actually really funny

I’m not an american, but it seems like the only way americans will be represented by their government is if they out the 2 party system.

There’s this vibe of self-destruction in american society that is rooted in the 2 party system: one party is your mortal enemy and another doesn’t quite represent you - so everyone just low key feels like destroying the whole thing rather than working on making it better.

They rushed this for very next day after event which is the biggest red flag in journalism. I remember I used to take 60 minutes seriously.

Does something happen if you do nothing?

I’m plenty familiar with anarchy but it’s not a valid strategy for large systems. Some systems are better for small scales some for big ones, it’s not a single shoe fit all.

Socialist of what kind? Socialist communism is as close to fascism as you can get without being explicitly fascist.
