I know and never debated the origin of the phrase. I was providing evidence that the order used in the comic is well known itself and not a misquote as indicated by your initial comment.

Either this or the Epstein stuff, so...could still technically be worse?
It feels like the current state of copyright laws has upset everyone at some point. Between the rampant abuse for censorship and the ineffectiveness against piracy and AI training, I can't help but wonder what it'll take to scrap them entirely and try from scratch with some massive reform.
I'll choose to ignore your ignorance of the cultural icon that is Duke Nukem.
However, I submit the KnowYourMeme page as evidence that the cited version is well known at this point in our history: https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/im-here-to-kick-ass-and-chew-bubblegum
Not if they're citing Duke Nukem, which is probably more well known for the phrase at this point than They Live.
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:
- There was a compromised Salesforce database that resulted in potential compromise of all gmail users.
- 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.
I absolutely do not understand "deductible", which seems to mean something different every time I look at it.
An amount you deduct from the payout of your coverage, typically in exchange for a lower premium. Often, here at least, health insurance will be a per-year deductible and auto insurance per-claim.
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.
Yeah, Rocket League has plenty enough awful people without them.
