Compounded by the fact that it was posted by username 'gambiting'.
- darkpuma 7y agoAt least in real life you get a chance to face your opponent, even if it's a goliath and david mismatched weight-class scenario. An angry mob may be outgunned by the police, but at least they can still throw bricks. What can realistically be done online to hurt Google? Does there exist a digital brick heavy enough for google to even notice you throwing it?
- gambiting 7y agoI'm always curious what people think my username means. I thought of it when I was only starting to learn English at around age 10, and my young brain thought it would be amazing to combine "game" and "biting" (as in, eating games, since I loved playing them). I only discovered the word gambit much later.
- ruste 7y agoI read it as gam-biting. Seemed nice enough if a bit out there for hn.
- em-bee 7y agothis is way off topic, but what the heck. i read your name as doing a gambit, playing a gambit, or something along those lines. risking your google account by making a report, as you observed, is a gambit :-)
