Yeah, Rocket League has plenty enough awful people without them.

Either this or the Epstein stuff, so...could still technically be worse?

Not victim blaming, just an objective observation that it's not a safe prank to play anymore.

Kid chases a ball into the street and gets hit by a car, it's the driver's fault. Kid has the right of way, but parents still teach them to look both ways before crossing because it's unsafe. Regardless of who's at fault if there's a collision, the consequences warrant extra caution. Same deal here. All three cases mentioned in the article resulted in the shooter/driver being arrested; they're clearly at fault. However, there's only so much that the law can do to hold somebody accountable for a death after the fact.

The initial reports had two pretty specific claims:

  1. There was a compromised Salesforce database that resulted in potential compromise of all gmail users.
  2. Google sent notifications to most/all gmail users indicating they should change their passwords.

I've yet to see a single firsthand notification from Google, so was already skeptical of #2. However, the first claim was debunked pretty quickly by confirmation the Salesforce breach didn't include gmail data, even without considering how much MFA would negate how dangerous such a breach could be.

This whole situation throws up way more red flags about tech/cybersecurity reporting than anything on Google's side.

I was joking, but it was my actual thought process when I responded to Google's email about this by deleting my Play Games profile altogether.

Also, I haven't played a new Android game in years.

My Steam history isn't intimately tied to my bowel movements though. This is more personal.

That the article has two other examples of the same thing happening kinda backs up that it's not a safe prank anymore.

Maybe I'm still just waiting for the morning caffeine to hit, but I don't think that first sentence has any business using a comma.

They're used pretty interchangeably, given the logo. The article you linked even uses "Levi's" in the same way at least a couple times.

Nothing here indicating surprise, but it is important to call out plainly what's happening.

And hopefully an assertion of his Second Amendment rights. One part of Hitler's playbook he really needs to follow.

I think they've picked up enough legal residents to not take that at face value at this point. I have to presume they're all here legally until proven otherwise in court.
