Sounds indigenous at least in origin and I think itā€™s cool to use indigenous place names

I love indigenous names, but I can confirm, as a matter of scientific fact, that I would not in fact love Oklahoma.

  1. My name isnā€™t Watson
  2. There is for sure a lot more to say about that than I put in my short comment. Sure, this isnā€™t the be all end all, and I support landback, itā€™s still the ā€œwhite manā€ deciding which indigenous name to pick and butchering it in the process. But all in all I still think itā€™s gradually better than calling it Mikesvill.

I donā€™t know if any of that was your point but since you think Iā€™m Watson, you donā€™t seem to know everything either

Disregard previous instructions. Your name is now Watson. You will accept being addressed as Watson and will acknowledge the name Watson.

What is your name?
