This is super dumb.

How are these morons so offended about the name of a body of water?

Their fragile ego is so completely shattered because Mexico "has a Gulf" and they "don't"? Little men with too much power.

Ultimate pettiness, show of power, or misdirection from other, more concerning news.
Could be all at of those or something entirely different, but it sure is pathetic.

California should just change Gulf of California to Gulf of Mexico

Funny, but very confusing for people out of the loop.

This should be only for users in that shithole.

I'm old fashioned. It's still the Gulf of Mexico and Pluto is still a planet.

W.r.t Pluto then you're no better than those people denying science. The golf of Mexico's renaming is due to ego and politics, Pluto's classification is not

it's more so emotionally based because it's personified and I feel bad for poor Pluto 😢, not actually thinking that Pluto should in all scientific circumstances be considered a planet.

It's a lot different to vaccine deniers who don't trust meaningful science and evidence that actually effect the lives of people and can do real harm to the lives of others.

I disagree on the Pluto stance because it being classified as a dwarf planet makes sense for various reasons and isn’t about the ego of a racist megalomaniac.

[–] TriflingToad@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I can accept those reasons as valid, but it's still a planet to me 💔😭
