@error I'm proud of myself that I was about the only one who would openly criticize it
As much as I dislike Mason Wheeler, shitting on his dreams directly seemed less than classy. Quietly hoping for his complete and total failure? Classy.
This I disagree with. Shit right on dreams. If possible, shit in them. It's the only way they'll improve.

I mean, possible...It's hard to enjoy something that will never exist because it didn't get funded.
I'm confused. Are you talking about his rougelike? That exists (at least partially); I played it a couple of times. It's unfinished, and what's done lacks polish, but it is (was?) a not-bad start.

Consider that there's a person in Canada who is most similar to you among the set of Canadians with girlfriends - lemma 1.
It follows that the most promising axis of jealousy vs this person relates to their girlfriend.
Also, such a person, assuming anyone in Canada has a girlfriend, does definitely exist. They're even more definitely extant than Mason Wheeler.

Personally, I wouldn't be jealous about someone who'd date you know who.

Status: So, I get to have my own misadventures with Walmart, or at least a company using Walmart as their marketplace.
So, after a weekend where I was without power for 40 hours due to a storm, I figured I'd at least try to get a battery pack that can charge my Surface tablet, so if something like it were to happen again, while I may not be able to go online, I can at least either read ebooks or watch videos I've saved to the device.
Given that, I do already have a RavPower branded battery pack that I do like, but it's only powerful enough to charge phones and at least up to the iPad I do own (but don't use anymore). So I figured I'd get a RavPower one that was recommended for charging a Surface, but I couldn't buy from Amazon, since they removed RavPower for being caught making fake reviews.
So, I go looking, and on RavPower's own site, they seem to have an option to buy the one I want, but it never works, just sending me in a loop to some click-tracking site and then back to their homepage. So, I try looking online, and all I can find are Walmart marketplace and eBay, and the Walmart marketplace had better prices. At this point, it's Wednesday, but I hadn't yet bought it, because and all.
On Friday, the 16th, I finally decide to go ahead and buy. When I purchased it, the estimated delivery was "by the 28th". On Sunday, the 18th, I received an email telling me it shipped and should be arriving on the 19th. Well hell, that would be some pretty good service, let me look at the tracking.
Tracking shows:
Date Status July 14 @ 8:27am Label Created July 14 @ 4:21pm USPS picked up item July 15 @ 3:01pm Package left Florida post office July 16-17-18 In Transit to Next Facility July 19 @ 5:22am Arrived at local post office July 19 @ 10:09am Delivered in mailbox Now, weirdly enough, the city and zipcode of the tracking does match mine, but uh, how the hell would this vendor have decided to ship a package to me two days before it was actually ordered, and in a way that USPS's "informed delivery" doesn't tell me it was either on the way or delivered?
Most likely, the vendor mixed up the tracking number of my order with someone else's who just so happens to be in the same zip code.
Guess I'll just have to keep an eye out for the package to actually show up by the expected date, and if not, go back to Walmart and say "hey, that didn't ship and the tracking they provided was a lie".

It's not false. The payment came due and remains due. Still a shitty CTA for the observed reason. If it contains all information necessary to action the request it is an improvement on most requests I receive.

Due and past due seem like mutually exclusive states, much like present and past.

Due and past due seem like mutually exclusive states, much like present and past.
But "today" is partially in the future and partially in the past. There may be circumstances on their end which make it impossible for the payment to be satisfied during the rest of today. (EG, they already processed the checks that came in the mail today. This is the US right?)

Or the system assumes that the "due date" is 0:00 (local time or UTC, doesn't matter), but the email job doesn't run until sometime later. Thus,
NOW() > bill.dueDate
is true as soon as it runs.

Follow-up Status: So, said package did arrive. It was not the right item. The seller just drop shipped a different battery pack from Amazon (which goes for $23, $7 cheaper than the price of the pack they're advertising) and somehow tacked on a random USPS tracking.
So now I need a return label and return it. Maybe I'll have to find this battery pack on eBay, where I might at least know the item is legit.

Or just buy something made by a different brand from Amazon or Walmart or whatever, seeing as
I couldn't buy from Amazon, since they removed RavPower for fake reviews.
isn't exactly a plus point for the manufacturer

The only problems with that are:
- The cable I have to connect Surface to USB-C specifically mentioned the pack I tried to get as well as a few others that aren't names I know of.
- Most options that claim to be compatible on Amazon are random Chinese companies (or AmazonBasics branding on a random Chinese company's product).
- Known name products that might work are 3-4 times the price.

I won't ascribe scumminess from a sales department to products that the company offers overall, otherwise I'd probably have to throw nearly everything out.
