It's still called "the Gulf of Mexico."
Some dumb bully gave it a dumb nickname and they're acting like he legally changed it's birth certificate.
It is not a country. So there is nothing like a UN defined name. So no one can force any country to name it the way they want. Don't think it's Trump decision. Maybe the U.S. Board of Geographic Names?
Like you call it Persian Gulf, other countries call it Gulf of Arabia, and Turkey actually even calls it Gulf of Basra. (Btw, you legally have to call it Türkiye nowadays. It actually "changed it's birth certificate" at the UN. Doubt you care about that.)
Facebook to Meta at least makes sense. They didn't change the product name; they just separated the company running the website from the website. And I mean, let's be real... Facebook is a stupid name for a conglomerate.
Facebook doesn't even let you do what it was originally intended for. Judging other people's worth solely on looks.
I think they moved that to Instagram
Everyone seems to forget that Google did exactly the same thing with Alphabet... And then continued to just keep putting all their products under the Google name anyway
For my yinzers: Carnegie Science Center
Also Starlake amphitheater
is it no longer called that either
whatever is what is properly referred to as Metropol I will get arrested there calling it Metropol to the current occupamts
Is it still a magical place? Have not been in many years.
It doesn't change much year to year, but I still love going on the regular. I'm a sucker for the miniature train village. The 21+ nights are cute and unique.
If someone calls it X I’ll call it twitter but if somebody still is on there calling it Twitter then I’ll insist on calling it X. You can’t fool yourself, you are still on Elon Musk’s X.
Shea stadium.
You know, I was going to shit on you because it was a completely different stadium. But then I realized I often call the new home of the NY Giants Giants Stadium.
Right? Like, in my heart, the Mets play at Shea. They can put the stadium on the frigging moon, the Mets play at Shea!
Skydome.
Don’t care who buys it, or if it’s been demolished or moved or replaced or whatever. It’s still Mile High Stadium.
Triborough Bridge
The Pan Am Building.
I don't just deadname people and things. I newname them as well.
Donald Drumpf. His family changed their last name from Drumpf.
We know.
You're allowed to call anyone anything you damn well like.
While technically true, it's common courtesy to call people by their chosen name.
Unless they're a dickface, or CEO/ billionaire, then whatever you want is fine.
OK, call me a taxi.
Whoosh
