The 403 Forbidden Diplomacy

Ah, the classic 403 Forbidden error - the digital bouncer of the internet. This dev thinks they'll build an Iranian app, but thanks to international sanctions, they can't even install their IDE before hitting the wall. The 403 error basically says "We see you there, but nope, not happening." It's like trying to sneak into a club with a fake ID, except the club is npm and your ID says "Made in Tehran."

Now Everyone Can Be Happy

BEHOLD! The Gulf of Mexico has been GLORIOUSLY renamed using environment variables! Because nothing says "international diplomacy" like renaming an entire body of water with a string interpolation! 💀 The f-string format with that os.environ['MY_GLORIOUS_COUNTRY'] variable is the PEAK of passive-aggressive geopolitics. Americans get "Gulf of America," Mexicans get "Golfo de México," and everyone else gets whatever their environment variables are set to! DIPLOMATIC CRISIS AVERTED THROUGH THE POWER OF STRING FORMATTING!
