No, that would still have tremendous subtext in Europe if given by a coworker. Even more so if it was just handsoap and not a gift bag. It would be the equivalent of someone saying your hands are dirty, really. The US might be different, I don't know. But that's how it would be perceived here..
Europeans seem psycho-scary trained to read multiple levels of diabolical subtext.
Best for me to continue the stupid American act here...
Thats stupid. If youre going to go that far into it is it possibly to give anything as a gift in belgium without potential sinister undertones?
If someone gives you a football for christmas does that imply they think you are fat and need to excercise more?
That is kind of the subtext. Where are the lines drawn? You get a sweater, is that because you have a cold heart? You get a bottle wine, is that because you're a lot more enjoyable to be around when you're drunk?
Whatever. I am imagining an episode of Seinfeld where a coworker regifts George a bottle of handsoap and he freaks out because he thinks it has all these undertones about his hygiene when really that coworker was just being cheap.
I could definitely see that.
Swag is love, swag is life

Sweet.
I have a new theory about the origins of the original bottle of soap from last year. It is the same brand but i got it from a different person, someone i did not know this time of last year. There was also a gift card to Target attached this time.
My theory is that the original bottle of soap went to the coworker of mine (soapgifter A) and she then took the gift card and regifted to me the soap she didnt want. This second bottle came direct from the source (soapgifter B).
Either way its a shitty thing to do to give someone such a useless gift because then i have to say thank you for what i dont want or im the asshole, i then have to get them a gift and i dont buy such shitty gifts so they will get something better. you should get someone a gift that is at least halfway decent or dont get them anything at all.
I think you're onto something with the regifting angle. That's typically something women might share with each other and someone just jettisoned it on you.
I like the idea of raw water but she might actually drink it.
If she dies from it that would make for some awkward days in our department.
And you can make your own artisan raw water. Start with your toilet.
An 18 year old girl I know apparently was raped by 5 guys she knew (her friends).
They went to a motel to do drugs (booze, coke, MDMA and weed) and things got out of hand.
Not to blame the victim, but how was this ever going to turn out well? Oh well, 18 year old brains I suppose.
Who doesn't love
Nah but that sucks. They should be castrated
Fast food trash by any other name.
Well, penetration isn't the only way to rape, so that's why castration wouldn't work. And also, I repeat, it's not about "having a penis" but about the morbidity generated by power and domination over the other person. The rapist will continue to feel that pleasure and fascination, even without his genitals, and will do so again in one way or another.
Yes.
I've always had an odd curiosity about that. Digital penetration and penile penetration are considered equivalent. One could potentially be somewhat accidental, the other almost never. But they are equivalent. As they are with a broom handle.
Do you use soap to jack off? That sounds unpleasant
But my junk smells like a fresh pine forest.
Giving gifts in the office is dumb to begin with. I took off the day we were supposed to do that in mine, just to avoid it.
I kinda have to agree with this here. I appreciate the bleeding, generous hearts in the office who want to give. But talk about a clusterf$#k of office hell on execution.
Have any of you bishes bought wood sunglasses before? They look pretty cool.
I have sunglasses made of limestone.
I don't know if it's rape or not, but as a hopefully rational human being there is no way I'd take the account of an intoxicated person as reliable info
Damn straight. How can anybody at a site to get doped up be coherent and reliable enough in a court of law?
On my campus, once a girl accuses you of rape, you are automatically guilty unless you are can prove your innocence. The guy will be kicked out of the university without trial. A friend of mine even confronted campus security about this issue, and their response was: “girls don’t lie about these things”
If I was a girl, that would be an awesome way to get rid of people I don't like.
Is there any first world country where radical feminism isn’t rampant? How are things in Europe? Australia?
Don't worry. Gen Z by way of 4chan is subverting all that shit.
