I'm sure the military and restricted areas are 100% OK with people playing PGO and don't bar entrance or confiscate phones.

There are actually a ton of pokestops in the local military bases around here, which is nice because it gives the personnel things to do.

Do not look your introvert in the eye, or make any sudden movements. Introverts are skittish by nature, and their vision is movement based. They take any sustained eye contact as a threat.

(Yeah, it sucks to be introverted as so many jobs nowadays are being aimed as public facing jobs, but geez.)

Out of curiosity, how long ago was it that this sort of "white trash" (for lack of a better description) name became common? I feel like these sorts of names weren't common 20 years ago.

A woman at one of my previous jobs did this. We did business with a guy named Weasel Strychnine (I think he fronted a band, but that was his actual name in the business world, as well), and with a guy named Goy Messiah. I personally interviewed Porsche Mercedes Datsun.

Except no one made any claims even remotely like that. One person provided photographic evidence of children being saddled with stupid names, and I listed three very real name that I am personally aware of. Putting personally in italics won't rewind time and make me never have met those people. None of the unusual names listed on this page smacked of that, "Chlamydia! Can you believe that?" poo poo where the implication is that [insert minority group] are so ignorant they're using diseases and punctuation in their kids' names.
