For PayPal's policy to be clear, the rules should say: "Individuals can use the Donate button to collect money for charitable causes. However, only 501(C)(3) corporations can use PayPal to collect charitable donations."

What I don't understand is why PayPal didn't just tell the Regretsy people to donate the toys to a 501(c)(3) organization such as Toys for Tots and supply proof they had done so.

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

Man, I wonder if that Paypal rep is getting verbally smacked around at all at work, or will the shame have to do?

I mean, rules are rules, but if you can't talk to people, your job shouldn't be about talking to people. The Communications guy? Knows how to talk to people.

Does that Paypal guy look like an Indian Jerry Lewis to anyone else?

Maybe Sarah O'Hare?

No, she was too young in the 80s.

Then again, this looks to be 80s.

Deidre McGuire? Did a lot of hair ads in the 80s.

Could be Jeny Howarth, far right.

There's an Old York Rd, because there is a new(er) York Rd. ...that is labelled to as The NEW York Road for several blocks, but it is really known as just York Rd. AKA Greenmount south of 43rd/42nd, cause that's the old city line.

... it really is a city of neighborhoods with distinct identities. As the one settlement grew outward to meet up with another settlement, goddamned if they were going to change the name of the road, as it was the right and true one...

Speaking of mammoths, there's a hypothesis out there that manatees are not related to seals or walruses, but evolved from Caribbean mammoths during the last few Ice Ages.

Honestly, though, the idea of Jamaican mammoths cracks me up.
