Pet their head, scritch they back, it's all wiggles.

But rub they belly? Dead still. 50 yard stare.

I know that guys from Japan, China or Korea don’t easily get thick facial hair (as in: having a literal beard) or it’ll take longer to grow in comparison to Euro-Western men for some reason even if both groups didn’t shave, what I mean is in a week: the American guy is starting to grow a beard while the Japanese guy hasn’t gotten it yet despite both waiting 7 days unshaven.

Like this: both guys work for the same corporation where suits are required & must be presented with decorum, the Japanese guy hasn’t shaven for that long but still looks clean while the American guy shaved yesterday before work as the beard has grown, so basically the American guy has to shave frequently while the Japanese guy doesn’t use the razor that much.

It’s the same thing with SE Asian (Thai, Vietnamese, Filipino, Indonesians) guys since it’s not common for them to heave beards within a week on the same extent as European & Western men. Rather it only displays a small patch of facial hair instead of a full beard if left unshaven, it grows at a slower pace for them while its rapid for both Western & European guys.

My absolute dream in airsoft is to have my own SL8 replica, but from what I've been searching it seems like there's no good replica like that?

The two manufacturers that come up the most are Ares and Novritsch with their SL8/SL9/SL10 and SSR63 A3 lines respectively. The problem is that while Ares has very good externals, their internals are proprietary dogshit, for lack of a better word, while Nov has godawful and inaccurate externals and average-at-best internals.

Is there really no SL8 airsoft replica that has accurate externals and at least somewhat decent internals? It also seems that SL8 custom builds with a regular G36 replica as the base are also not possible simply because there aren't any SL8 externals up for sale anywhere.

Listening to an Iranian official describe his region as "West Asia" got me wondering if the word "Middle East" is on the outs and why. I suspect Middle East is eurocentric for some reason, but West Asia also preserves Europe as a continent, which is Eurocentric in its own way because Europe is not a continent and never was. If we're calling anything West Asia, it should be Spain and Portugal.

I enjoy the subjects I majored in, history and geography but something I simply cannot is dealing with bratty children who for whatever reason consider a teacher an enemy.

I am also a registered nurse with almost 4 years working bedside, if that helps.

I'm an American college student who has an option to study abroad in Budapest for a semester and was wondering if Hungary is a good place to study in, like is it safe and are the universities there good? Ive never been to Europe so no idea what to expect

Hi, I made a post about how I have a chance to study for a semester in Budapest, Hungary and it sounds really cool, but there is one other option and thought I'd ask just so I don't dismiss it immediately: Reykjavík, Iceland. I also know next to nothing about Iceland, whether it's safe for students, if it's welcoming, if it's a good place for an American to study at, so might as well ask about it as well. It also sounds fascinating admittedly

genuinely curious.

I'm not talking about leggings made specially to do that, just regular sport leggings, like those from asics, nike, adidas or lululemon

I've been watching a lot of it recently. It bugs me when someone gets the spirit of the answer right, but they don't get the point. For example, there was a question asking what scents might remind someone of their partner. The contestant answered "wood". Now anyone who knows scents and fragrance knows that sandalwood is a very popular scent. That's obviously what he meant by that, but he doesn't get the point. Later, someone does get the answer of cologne/body spray.

(It would be cool if anyone could help with my actual question, which is the title of the post. Lol)

Just got beaten the 4th time in a row. This time in just 13 total moves despite my slow 'calculated' moves. I've been playing for over a month now on a Chess game software

Where can I learn and master chess. Which worked for you

Such as using a platform like fiverr for example, is it worth trying or should i stay away? I want to do basic tasks but i dont have a anything yet to showcase. So it may be a bad idea but at the same time i want/need money. I know i could get a job but im in a point in life where i feel i am unable to.

but who am to say...

my research indicates the world is going through a complete transformation. i could be wrong.

but if i am not wrong, then there is something significant happening right now. if so, why aren't more people "waking up" to see what is occurring right before them?

edit:

i will definitely not be doxxing myself by sharing any of my research projects, custom tools or other resources that could identify me.

what i will say is there are enough of you here who understand what i am saying to speak plainly...

from my position in space and time, we coexist in an era of great opportunity. right before we begin mining and colonizing space, truly epic times. only a few will notice which way the winds are blowing. if you have the guts and savvy to figure it out by doing your homework, i say take full advantage of your observations. whatever your ambitions are. it's okay to be a little selfish and make real change happen.
