> and a world that didn't care about your feelings

Dead on.

UO didn't have a global concept of a level. You had a maximum number of points per character, which you allocated to skills by doing the corresponding activity. This is how you can skill cap your character without killing monsters or players.

Take this with a grain of salt - several Youtube exposés showed that the Actions code was utter shit before LLM coding was widely available. I'm assuming the tech debt finally sent the product off a cliff.

Don't think any salt is required. During the Zig departure from GH, there were several GH Actions repo issues where it was highlighted just how bad some of the code is, and there was zero effort from GH to fix the problems or even accept past PRs from the community to fix these things.

We just got our mandate from on high that we're migrating to GH. You can imagine my joy.

Wikipediocracy link gives "not authorized".

works for me

All this talk of soup making me wonder if these are Arabic/ME derivatives.

Then again there are like 10 different ways to refer to soup in the various dialects.

The wikipedia article traces it to Persian, which formed it as a compound of words from different East Iranian languages. So you are on the money with Middle Eastern. From there it spread to the Balkan via Ottoman Turkish, and also from Persian to dialectal Arabic, which would explain the occurrences in Northern Africa, and maybe even Spain

On public transit or a street, maybe. But only maybe.

Are you willfully ignoring people at bars, night clubs, supermarkets, etc?

It's obvious 99% of the time whether or not the conversation is in the wrong place and wrong time.

bars and clubs are specific venues for social interactions.

Supermarkets are a toss up. Most people are there to get their food and get out.

Agree but a terrifyingly large number of tech companies have garbage security so the bullying is often unnecessary.

What? You have to demonstrate financial hardship or risk getting convicted.

No, no you do not. If and when they finally realize it's been 12 years since you've filed, you might finally get that letter one day. Good odds they're gonna be extremely wrong about what you owe. Let them be

The people that get convicted seems to be either rich people blatantly evading taxes or people that write entire books about not paying taxes. Last I looked at the data for a normal person to get convicted just for running late on payments you basically have to tell the IRS to go fuck themselves and then brag about it publicly and stir up enough people they have to make an example out of you so no one else gets ideas. I'm sure there's odd other examples but they seem to be rare.

By and large the IRS wants to squeeze you for what they can get, not burn up a bunch of public resources convicting people and hindering their ability to earn more money for the IRS.

They don't fine people for late payment?

Like they said, you have to be _blatant_ to get rung up. There are any number of life events you could use as reasonable cause to avoid the fines entirely and get a favorible payment plan.

Was thinking of criminal convictions in relation to "convicted", not fines

Amazing. Took forever but I found my building in Brooklyn as well as the nearby dealership, gas station, and public school.

Would like to know this as well.
