I think we're discussing the limitations of a fictional being. In the context of "Santa Claus is Coming to Town", I'm not sure his powers apply to the internet, being that "He sees you when you're sleeping...", but he only "... knows when you're awake." So if my incorporeal consciousness was uploaded to the internet, do you think I could spoof my online status to green, so that I'd be untraceable to Santa?
I'm in Texas. I've been cashier in multiple roles, between my entry-level stuff and sometimes having to fill in. I don't know about the laws elsewhere. Every payment system I've ever used had a way that you could split payment, and usually if it was a debit card of any sort, it would just take whatever was left in the account and you'd have a remaining balance, payable any other way. That said, if anyone is ever thinking about getting me a gift card, I just tell them to give me the cash equivalent, it's more useful than cards.
It'll blow over eventually, but beehaw has defederated a lot of instances until there are better moderation tools built in to Lemmy itself. Once those are implemented, beehaw will probably refederate with most stuff again.
I can't buy it in America.
I am poor.
