> Gulf of America is a more inclusive name anyway since both USA and Mexico are part of North America
gulf of america is not more inclusive. the "renaming" was not meant to be inclusive, it was very clearly meant to be divisive.
this is a similar argument to one often used when people call canadians americans: "umm, ackshully, canada is in north america, so it's correct to call them americans"
and of course the flaw in that argument is that literally nobody on earth considers canadians to be americans except people on the internet trying to sound smart.
i’ve been doing the same for a few years now. wireguard’s “on demand” feature is perfect for this. the odd time i’ll have to shut it off to get through a captive wifi portal, but otherwise it (along with browser ad blockers) has made mobile browsing significantly less terrible
i am really really tired of having to close 3 pop ups before finding out i can only read the headline of the article before hitting a paywall. wish hn would have a rule against unusable links like this, or a bot that automatically swaps to an archive link or something

1. Are you using grocery store rewards points?
2. Would you like to sign up for rewards points?
3. Would you like a car wash?
4. Do you want to apply for our Credit Card?
5. Are you buying lottery tickets?
we have these scooters in my (very touristy) town. they make an annoying “bing bong avoid sidewalks” sound when driven on the sidewalk, but that’s it. they don’t limit the speed to something annoying/reasonable like 3-4kph. tourists constantly blasting by people on the sidewalk, it’s not surprising to me that this sort of thing happens.
