1. Dogs do not go shopping, so no waiting around for hours in the shopping mall, carrying the dog's bags around. They would much rather go out and play in the park. 2. Dogs do not mind if you smell a bit funny -- no worries if you got the scent of another dog on you. 3. They do not mind if you pet a... |

Queen Baodica died in 61 A.D. Empress Jingu was born in 169 A.D. That is 108 years separating the two. There is no way they could have met in a real battle. But if you want to simulate a hypothetical battle between the two, you should at least construct a quantified statcard for each. These stat... |

The kind of people who believe that you can become LGBTQ+ just by hearing discussions about LGBTQ+ seem to be the same kind of people who believe you can get COVID-19 by using a 5G device.

I was always confused and pardon my ignorance, but do models and Instagram models date men with money, or make a lot through brand endorsements? I ask because I at times like looking at attractive women, but most of them seem in their ''own world'' or always taking it easy, while mostly everybody ... |
