This is the objectively correct answer
Better add in the I for international waters.
Gulf of I.C.U.M.
I jizzed in the Gulf
This is just distraction politics. Easy to talk about and have an opinion on, while completely dismantling the country with the other hand.
Who's: a contraction for "who is".
Whose: belonging to whom.
I’m embarrassed I made that mistake. I absolutely know better. Thanks for the correction.
Now I wish I'd sent a DM instead. No need to embarrass you in public, oops. Oh well, next correction I'll be more discreet.
No worries! Your correction was appropriate. I think the edit just took a while to sync across instances. I was embarrassed because I take pride in my writing. It could have been between us, or broadcast globally, and I’d have felt the same.
Thanks for the consideration. Have a good night!
yeah wow you're literally the first person ever to make such a grammar mistake on the internet, so embarrassing
Trump: Someone get me a sharpie
Throw in a couple of hurricanes for good measure. We can always nuke ‘em.
And if you measure it in miles of coastline...
Mexico - 1,743 miles.
US - 1,680 miles.
Other sites round up the US portion to an even 1,700, which is STILL short(!)
Does this fully take into account Louisiana? I feel like those river deltas and swamplands add up to a massive amount of what could be considered coastline.
That's a whole other can of worms:
If they’re both infinite that’s just 50/50 right?
More like ♾️/♾️, so closer to 1.
Isn't 50/50 = 1 = ♾️ / ♾️?
🤯
I'm fairly certain that's not how it works 🤣
Could be part of the "rounding up", same for the Florida Keys.
The text of the EO actually only orders renaming of the portion of the gulf that is shown as the American EEZ on that map.
But, much like with everything else in society, the companies who bent over backwards renaming as fast as possible were too dumb to read the actual assignment and / or instead just wanted to gargle the ring.
I doubt Donald Trump read the EO either. And those companies know this, and they know he's a small and petty man.
This whole thing doesn't matter much, it just makes the US looks stupid. It's not the job of these companies to oppose the guy Americans voted for even when he's making the country look stupid. It was the duty of American citizens to vote wisely to prevent guys like Trump from having power, but that didn't happen, so here we are.
I never knew there were international waters in the gulf. Interesting!
I bet those two pockets have seen some shit.
"I ain't seen nuthin."
Seem kinda pointless to me, might as well divvy them up
Gulf of Embarrassingly Tiny Hands
"Gulf Uck Yourself"
I dunno, but google removed the ability to suggest edits when I looked last.
So I suggested a correction for mar a lago. It should be Turd-o-Lardo
You can report Google search results by tapping the three dots to the right of the results.
Well no I can’t because I don’t have that spyware on my phone.
And you shouldn’t either.
Edit to clarify, the website has a different interface.
You don’t have a web browser?
Bro.
Read what I said and you’d realize I don’t need your totally unsolicited advice.
In order to make it clear: in order to suggest a change to mar a lago, I’d have to know how to do that.
There's two international waters, but only one for each nation. Clearly this is the Gulf of international waters
I say we call it uh...
The Burning Sea.
the gulf is the pride america left behind
if you really wanted to be like this needs renaming, why the fuck didnt you go with "The Gulf of the Americas" not that it touches both north and south. But Gulf of North America doesnt have a nice sound to it
EEZ and teorritorial claims are completely different things!
The Gulf of the Americas?
Maybe it should have corporate sponsorship like football stadiums.
I disagree with the renaming, but this is a bad faith argument. It is a Gulf which is a part of the American continent. Obviously Trump’s reasoning is batshit, as are the reasons for most of what he does. The type of misdirection happening in this post is just as bad, imo.
