"I said, 'Sundar, I'm thinking of the Atlantic Ocean. Can you handle it?'

"'No, no, no, this time I'm not doing it,' he said, 'Oceans are different, sir. They cover a lot of - really a lot of countries. Please don't ask us to do that.'"

The US president later said he would "probably pass" and keep the name Atlantic, before saying, "We're going to call it the American Ocean".

? You're going to have to explain.

If I thought you would listen, I would. But we have talked before, and we disagree on most things.

Well, could you at least explain for the rest of us that have no idea what you're talking about?

I wonder why the Russians haven't taken out their leader. He cheats so bad that the elections are just a prop, he sends young and old to a useless war, and he has been horrible to his people, economy and allies, while stealing as much as he can get his hands on. I bet it's because it wouldn't be wise, or are his people just stupid?

Exact same reason as the United States. Pussy ass bitches. France knows what to do. Americans are pathetic.

So, what dictator have you successfully killed? Maybe it's a government you've overthrown successfully, which one?

The message was never meant for you. You aren’t important to any of this. You don’t matter.

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

So none, got it. When you can't answer, you go to insults.

[–] Cellery@quokk.au -5 points 1 week ago

Telling an American that it’s not all about them is definitely not an insult lmfao

Enjoy never being able to retire or access medical care. ✌️
