At least in the Navy for certain but I am pretty certain I remember it on Army bases but the staff at a Naval base hospital is universally known as the "Corp Whores" as in medical corps......most of the time this comes from the very people who make up the "Corps Whores"....lots of over sexed people in the medical fields....probably driven by being around naked folks and talking about bodily functions all the time...they are hyper aware
re: Do you contribute to NIL?
Posted by AwgustaDawg on 4/30/25 at 2:47 pm
Not regularly but there are a couple of businesses that I intentionally trade with because they contribute part of their revenue to UGA NIL. These are things I would buy anyway. I have had 4 season tickets since 1994 so I think UGA gets enough of my money...if it means going 7-5 its still UGA football....

I bought a cheap assed Ryobi 40 volt one with 2 batteries and a charger for $89 in 2020 and it works better than any gas operated one I ever owned. The batteries will do about 400 feet of fence (200 feet on both sides) the house, driveway, sidewalks and edge the curb and drive way. They will be fully charged again in about 20 minutes. I like it. Its far better than I thought itd be for $89. Looks like its $159 today.

China exports very little production machinery, and those who bought it for the most part are sorry they did. Some controls components are made in China, but really very few. You're overstating the dependence. SCADA controls and the like have lifetimes measured in decades, and more are made in Europe and Taiwan than in China.
There will be some pain, but don't overstate it.
So I work in an industry with the staunchest QA requirements that exist and we are CONSTANTLY getting suspect and counterfeit SCADA components directly from the manufacturer. They almost all come from China. Its somewhere in the neighborhood of 5%. If you haven't found them you are lucky.
I do NQA-1 Vendor quals all over the US and some for the NEA and NRC Regulated operators. The issue is not a minor one....it is especially present in electronics and electronic components....and it comes directly through the manufacturers supply chain....the bogus parts are used to partially fill orders or used alone to fill orders....even the manufacturer is unaware until the end user finds it.
About 6 months ago we recieved a shipment of Square D MCC Buckets from Square D which were not manufactured by Square D and last month we had a shipment of anaconda sealtite flex that was not manufactured by Anaconda. These are items that are purchased directly from the manufacturer and come with a pedigree of origin, shipping and any other pertinent detail.

Considering most of this is manufactured and bottled right here in the good ole USA, not sure that is necessary.
But the great TP panic of 2020 didn’t make much sense either.
It made plenty of sense - everytime someone sneezed 8-10 people shite their pants.....
Water is bottled here and toilet paper is manufactured here with machines that are built in China and elsewhere and have parts that must come from the same places. The trucks used to ship them to Wal Mart also have loads of parts that come from somewhere else. It is not going to pass without some pain, Trump himself has said as much numerous times, pretending otherwise is simply insinuating that Trump doesn't know what he is talking about....

So a “handjob” can have two separate meanings. Manicure or cure a man.
Thats funny.
When I was about 17 and 18 years old I wired several combination rub and tugs / tanning and nail salons around the Chambodia (Chamblee / Doraville) area of Atlanta. The family that owned them were VERY wealthy...they lived in what was a multi-million $ home in the Tuxedo Park neighborhood of Atlanta. They had immigrated to the Atlanta area when Saigon fell....I always figured they had some information on some prominent politician stemming from the Vietnam war and were paid a lot to keep hush about it. Anway they "sponsored" young women from mostly Vietnam but also China and paid for their travel to the Atlanta area. They were basically indentured servants working in those storefronts. They lived in the business, ate almost all meals in them and were pretty much free to come and go as they pleased....many of them dated men in the area. I was mesmerized by them....they were about my age but all of them were, officially, older than 18 (that is doubtful but they had papers saying it and the officials accepted those documents). For the most part they were drop dead gorgeous in the way that young Asian women tend to be and I was in love with every last one of them LOL. They would tease me no end but I never got a "massage" from any of them...at the time they seemed like grown women to me.

The mexican restaurant we eat at occasionally has one next door. There is no possible way they arent engaging in prostitution in side. Last night at 7 we pulled in, at the exact time two Asian women (no where near as attractive as the ones in the OP) walked in and as we left the restaurant two guys walked in looking like they rode together.......no body is going out for a massage at 8pm.
When is the last time any man and his buddy were sitting around at 730 on a Tuesday night and one of them said "Lets go get massages together" and show up at 8 PM? The answer is NEVER. Massages were not the intent. Not ever. Not even gay men would do that....they might go to a spa, they ain't going to "Golden Hands Full Body Massage" in a strip mall next door to an Asian grocery store and Mexican Restaurant....
It is really amazing that sooooo many adults are completely unaware of this simple fact....and it is very common and in every community of any size across the US. If there is an Asian themed massage parlor in your community which opens early in the mornings, say 10 or earlier, and closes past 9 PM you have a full-service brothel operating in your community with the acknowledgement and acceptance of the local authorities who are responsible for preventing such businesses. The brothel is not selling drugs and it is not involved in human trafficking because those are serious crimes that small town corrupt cops aren't going to overlook for the small amount of money they are paid to overlook the brothel...hell, in many instances services on demand for free or a reduced rate is probably all the payment they get. Most people never stop to think why that small, older brick house alongside the major highway but just on the outskirts of town is an Asian Massage parlor which is open at 6 AM and closes and 2 AM and why there is a steady stream of pick up trucks coming for a massage....but any adult who is not naive as a child knows damn well what's going on. We overlook it because it ought not be illegal to begin with....the problem is the authorities are corrupt in letting it happen.

I cannot comprehend how it is illegal to pay for a service, but it is legal if they gave the same service for free...
Generally it is not, at least the way it is done in rub and tug. The customer pays for a massage. Up front, before anything else the customer pays for the massage. During the massage the masseuse (prostitute, whore, girlfriend, whatever you call her) gets a little clumsy and "accidentally" makes incidental contact with one's nether regions. If the customer freaks out and bolts for the door he was there for a massage only. That is rarely the case. If he responds in a manner which suggests more of those sorts of accidents would not be frowned upon the masseuse will eventually get bold enough to intentionally touch the customer's nether regions. At this point it is hard to imagine what law has been broken...it is entirely possible that everyone just so happened to find someone who enjoyed a similar sexual proclivity. Many times this is all that is on the menu....with of course a happy ending. Again, hard to imagine how that would be illegal, 2 consenting adults, no money has exchanged hands for any sort of sexual activity, it just happnened during the massage which is a perfectly legal purchase. No matter how the massage ends a tip is customary...again, not illegal, even if she did jerk you off you are tipping her for the massage...or not tipping her at all, which is apparently something that happens pretty frequently. Where a crime is close to being committed is when the massuese leans into the customer and whispers in his ear "what do you want" and when he says sex, oral, anal, vaginal or some combination, and she tells him how much it will cost, they have both broken a law, in my understanding, if he says whatever she wants and she blows him or has sex and he simply leavse some money on the chair in the room its a grey area....but most people would pay a hefty fine to keep it out of the news LOL.
How any of this is illegal in a free nation is a mystery. It may be disgusting, it may be immoral, it may be funny, what it ought not be is illegal. If it is going to be illegal they really should make cases against the customers....simply exposing them would shut the places down immediately....but that NEVER happens unless of course the customer is someone famous and they local authorities can make some hay when the sun is shining. The corruption that allows these places to operate in almost every community in the United States is far more detrimental to law and order than someone paying someone for a hand job....
