    Then how do you know how much shame to feel? You are buying condoms to have sex. Sex with no chance of babies. Possibly out of wedlock. That is double-hell right there. The cashier is judging you for practising safe sex.

    You can double the shame right there if you convince yourself that, instead of buying the condoms, you're bribing the cashier to look the other way while you steal them.

    Jesus, a cleaner managed to stab himself because they were cleaning inside an active lab. The email that has gone round is about tidying up properly, that is missing the point somewhat. You need to be aware of active labs and not go into places you don't work unsupervised. Labs are cleaned by the groups who use them, not the cleaning staff, because it's dangerous work if you don't know what each and every bits of kit in there is doing.

    Where?

    That's exactly what I'm trying to find out!

    Well, hop to it. I hereby relieve you of stalking duties and promise to reserve your job until you discover the land where women are shown on boxes of condoms.

    Well, Cat mentioned them, so...Australia?

    wh...what do you people put on the boxes? Dare I ask?

    Usually Greek warriors. Maybe a plain text logo.

    I'm really not sure what to make of that. We have stylised swirly ladies, or couples. Plain packaging, not so much...

    Call it our puritanism. Normally I shake my head at it but I'm kinda okay with it here. It's a condom. If I need the box to give me an erection then I'd be wondering if I was getting the whole sex thing completely wrong. And it's nice to see an aspect of marketing that actually has people avoiding sexualization.

    just as an fyi, guys, please report any retardation, thickitude, flop-butt or general dickery you see in that thread to the mods. I've heard the DA threads on other fora have gotten pretty out of control and I'm sure Echo and duck would appreciate help in keeping a lid on that thing.

    i'm just super confused how anyone could honestly think dragon age is appealing to the stereotypical 'bro'

    having been around bros for very, very long periods (and would consider myself one of them in some ways although my video game tastes are generally opposite), bros prefer very twitch based, visceral games with high violence in them. and guns, lots and lots of guns

    and generally these games have some sort of local multiplayer to foster the sense of camraderie bros have

    so a single player rpg, even if its an action-rpg, is like the opposite of what bros like. in general anyways

    I'd be interested in seeing if I can't translate to 3e M&M. If it goes well I might be able to convince jake to translate his game to the system.

    I would be totally up for this btw - the only reason I didn't start with 3e was that I was still unfamiliar with it. Now that I've had some quality time with the book I really, really, really dig it.

    if they don't know anything about dragon age and/or bros.

    it's just whiny, inarticulate maladapts deciding that if they don't like the game, it must be because it was made for the benefit of a group of people they also don't like, even if it makes absolutely no sense.

    Common among any group that goes into detail about one type of media or another. The Film thread is loaded with examples of it, the book thread gets it, the Fox Animation thread is a retched hive of scum and villainy of it and so on. In fact the only media thread I can think of that doesn't do it is the Castle one. It's an odd duck.

    Discussion of general fantasy novels. Some series can get away with it, but I dare you to write a post saying R.A. Salvatore is okay. Which is a shame because he's a nice guy who knows he isn't a literary master and just wants to take care of his family.

    Yeah I'm not saying its bad - in fact i suspect that over here it signifies a rather less than sophisticated approach to sex :P

    I don't think anyone says RA Salvatore books are for bad people - I've seen people say they're bad books, which is altogether different.

    It's not a daily thing but yeah there have been a couple times. An example:
    My pristine, unblemished, glossy trade paperback copy of Blade of Tyshalle is sitting atop the printer on my desk right now. It has a Chapters sticker on the front, advertising, in French and English, "Prix Reg./Orig. Price $24.00 SEULEMENT ONLY $6.99." Below that is a second price tag, a standard bright orange gun-applied one, marked "$3.99+tx". The stickers would be easy to remove, but I've chosen to leave them on for the unique combination of happiness and rage I feel whenever I look at them. Happiness, because it's such a fantastic book, and paying $4 new for it was an absolute steal; rage, because goddamnit you emo Twilight-reading motherfuckers, you chubby grasping adolescent Sword of Truth fans, you mindless consumers of R.A. Salvatore and the fucking Halo novelizations, your terrible fucking taste in literature pumps money into the gaping maws of millionaire Mormon housewives and college dropouts with a hardon for Objectivism, while guys like this - seriously, read that interview - can't even get their work republished because there's not enough perceived demand to justify a 5000 copy print run.
