such a wonderful image .... tinsel lined void

Santa: ... you have been a good and sometimes a bad kitty ... but here is a gift anyway

Cat: ... no ... (swats gift onto the floor)

Doggo trying to lead you to the toilet: .... HEY BUDDY! I KNOW WHERE WE CAN GET A FREE DRINK!!!

For such a small character .... that's a really big NO

Same here ... if I'm gifting to someone under the age of about 8 years old, I'll them a little toy and some cash ... anyone older than that is just getting straight cash.

I'm not spending time to try to figure out what people like or dislike or whether or not they're following some latest trend ... take my cash and do what you want with it ... and for teens, they combine all the cash they get and get one big thing they want which works out best for them.

Beautiful

As an Indigenous person whose first language is Ojibwe/Cree ... you have no idea how fast Indigenous languages are disappearing. My parents spoke only our language but they knew a little bit of English to work with the non-Native world. My grandparents spoke no English at all. I am fluent in both languages.

Starting at about the 1990s, my family became 50/50 Ojibway and English. Ten years later it became 80 percent English, 20 percent Ojibway. By the 2010s, it was about 90 percent English 10 percent Ojibway ... I don't have kids of my own but I have about 40 nieces and nephews (yes I have a big family) and several of them also have children - and almost all of them exclusively only speak English with limited Ojibway.

I'm happy they at least know the language but it isn't their main language any more.

The fact that these people in Tasmania resurrected their language is a miracle ... I am absolutely truly happy for them.

You give rattles and shiny things to toddlers to keep them from damaging the furniture or falling down the stairs.

I don't think your link worked .... it's full of baloney

Or better yet ...

Fired workers: ... sure, I'll come back on one condition ..... you give me four times the rate of pay I had before ... then when your stupid backlog is taken care of .... you can go fuck yourself.

... oh you don't want to pay four times the rate? .... no problem .... go fuck yourself.
