  • #D234 (domestic science to dominant)

    I read from domestic science to dominant.

     

     

    Dominant genes affect everything and are literally the reason every living this is the way it is right now. Well, that and some other things I guess.

    The word of the episode is "domestic violence".

    If you feel that you are the victim of domestic violence, please seek help/assistance in any way you can.
