Speaking of references lost on modern audiences and AOL, Endless September is still in full effect, and that means that netiquette is still lost on modern audience.

Ironically enough, the RFC post-dates Eternal September too.
The Eternal September was such a big deal Green Day even wrote a song about it.

Lol just walk out the auto shop door.

I never had the drunk driving ads at my school. But in elementary we had to escape a burning house which was dope
I remember doing this and the fake smoke or whatever made me queasy and I vomited all over the hallway that you were supposed to crawl through on your hands and knees and I was too embarrassed to tell anyone at the time. Sorry to whoever was behind me!

Last week I bought a pack of Big League Chew while picking up a prescription because of this thread.

lol @ the free condoms increasing birth rates too. Who knew you had to actually teach sex ed rather than tossing some tools at kids and saying good luck?

The family business was a scrap yard where both the customers and transient workers were an interesting bunch. One day while digging around in the back shop break room I found dozens of 90s porno mags and drugs. I was maybe 12 or 13 at the time.

At some point one of the dogs was being kept in the room and also managed to find the porn and proceeded to rip every magazine to shreds across the floor.

Sorry, I just don't like phrases like "creepy obsession."

I also get hit with "did you meet her overseas when you were in the service," with the implication that she married me so she could shop at the PX or something. It gets annoying after a while.
Glad you have a healthy relationship, but that post wasn’t specifically calling you out. Consider that the people who make insulting assumptions about your marriage are the people who hold those problematic views about Asian women.

By your own admission there was a questionable culture of sex work around your own base. I’m sure things would have been much skeezier and less voluntary in the periods immediately after the countries had been ravaged by war and heavily occupied as well. It’s fair to hypothesize that a good number of the servicemen who did participate brought home bad attitudes regarding the women they were involved with. But also, anti-Asian sentiment had been developing for several generations before American involvement in the wars of the mid-20th century so it’s probably not the sole genesis of it.

I remember going on a tour of a historic home in an East Coast city and having a huh? what? reaction to being told about yellow fever epidemics in colonial America.
Lol, good way to bring this discussion back on topic.
