Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Even considering you're the best person to sign up for every single program since the cheques should just go to you?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh. Um. Can other people sign up on b.org's behalf, and just forward money to me? That's happened before, with cafepress and amazon.

Othewise, I could do all the signing up in January, probably.

If you give me the say so, I can sign up for you, assuming it doesn't need your SSN, or anything. I can use donations as the e-mail address, and put in your meatspace.

If that's okay.

That would be ideal. Please note that I will have a new address in ten days.

I can't commit to a timeline more specific than "before January," but I will take the task as mine own, since I opened my damned mouth in the first place.

Well, I'm happy to give my mailing address to anyone willing to sign donations@ up for these deals, too.

Ficht nicht mit Der Raketemensch!

I'd use an amazon.co.uk link. And I'm fascinated to know what people's philosophical objections to them are...

To Amazon? I haven't forgiven them for trying to patent one-click shopping. I also hate their user interface, and when they ate CDNOW, it wasn't even philosophy that was first on my list of reasons not to buy CDs there -- I couldn't find my stuff.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

And I'm fascinated to know what people's philosophical objections to them are...

Some are opposed to Amazon's patenting of the "one-click" order system. There are a lot of obviouls business models on the web (which is stifling development of new web and computer technology) that have been patented and this is one of the most egregious.

x-post.
