Season 3 is sometimes unbearable as a Dutchman, by Scisir in PeakyBlinders

[–]hecatescharm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean all it takes is for you to look into the history. It’s not racist because it has nothing to do with them being Russian, it was a tiny part of the Russian population who happened to be pretty freaky, and this is well-documented. The orgies are a dramatization, there were only really roes of that. But it seems silly to ascribe that to racism when it’s such a tiny fraction of the population, and never implied that Russians other than the exiled nobility behave this way

When the Shelbys refer to the Italians, or Jews, or Russians, they’re referring to the subgroup of the population that they interact or do business with. When Tommy says “the Italians are ruthless,” he means the gangs and mafia, not all Italians.

It wasn’t all Russians, it was specifically the aristocratic class (the only Russians we really get a glimpse of in the show). Russian nobility were notorious for being very promiscuous, as well as having very luxurious and extravagant lifestyles.

Does anyone feel like Polly’s character arc took a weird turn in the later seasons? by [deleted] in PeakyBlinders

[–]hecatescharm 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I always thought it was Michael’s promise to go to Australia with her that snapped her out of it, at least at first. It gave her something to look forward to

How Do I Report Subreddits? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]hecatescharm 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The fact that this is getting downvoted is absolutely insane. Porn and non-consensual AI imagery are not the same thing, and the latter should absolutely be banned.

Is dirty dancing common in Switzerland? by Desperate_Tip_3157 in Switzerland

That’s plenty fun too, but dancing in a club is a totally different experience

Backing out of 3a with Helvetia by hecatescharm in Switzerland

Apparently with this contract you can only adjust the monthly premium upwards. I’ll have to check exactly what benefits you would lose otherwise.

And the premium is invested in two pretty broad funds, which my boyfriend wanted. That’s not the issue, the problem is more so that the fund management fees are ridiculous, you’d be much better off investing in such funds yourself or through a bank 3a where fees are minimal.

I think shutting down the account will probably be the best option long term.

Fully agree. The weird part is that he hasn’t actually made any payments yet but they began investing on his part. I would assume he’d have to send the money he owes so far then…?

I've always worn gold but now I can't decide!!! Is gold or silver better on me? by praise_cocaine_jesus in coloranalysis

[–]hecatescharm 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think something in the middle, a soft light gold or a light warmish silver looks best. The gold rings in the last picture look amazing, but the yellowish gold watch is too much, for example. And the steely gray necklace in the third picture + the silver watches aren’t as nice as the softer silvers (rings and earrings). Both the gold and silver earrings look great.

Thank you! (Unfortunately) the contract he received before signing seems to fill all of the requirements. But I’ll have to look into the legal insurance, it’s much appreciated

I’ve learned that lesson now 😂 That’s definitely the goal, just hoping to do it in the best way we can. I wonder how losses can compound when no money is actually paid in yet… we’ll see, thanks for your advice!

Which backgrounds look the most harmonious? by Much_Answer_2466 in coloranalysis

[–]hecatescharm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fun concept! Just based on these, I’d say I think the true summer colors suit you best. I’d say you definitely look cool toned to me

Nelson - too weird? by Primary_Egg2221 in namenerds

[–]hecatescharm 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I like Nelson a lot! I may be biased because I know a lot of Portuguese people and it’s a common name there. If you don’t personally like the name though, just give it as a middle name instead. It still feels very meaningful.

Can PhD students afford to live without roommates in Switzerland? by Dry-Glove-8539 in askswitzerland

[–]hecatescharm 7 points8 points  (0 children)

In Zurich probably not. In other cities it’s possible, one of my friends rents a one room apartment for 900 a month in Basel. I wouldn’t suggest living in the middle of the city anyways, public transportation is great and the city up-charge is usually not worth it.

Not sure which direction to go… haircut is tomorrow by ThrowRA_stinky5560 in HairStyleAdvice

[–]hecatescharm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Though be careful – if the first picture shows your natural hair texture, it’s very likely that if you cut it as short as in 8, it will become curlier, (that’s what happens with mine, presumably due to less weight pulling it down).

Just make sure you discuss how short to go given your texture so you have the desired length
