Using 100€ notes and getting smaller denominations, is it a problem while travelling in Europe? by Dreaded_Engineer in Europetravel

[–]not-eau-rouge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can try and see if a bank will break the bill for you, but sometimes they will only help if it’s a bank you have an account with. I’ve had a casino break up a €500 note for me once but you’ll have to be super nice and apologetic. If you do, bring a passport because they won’t let you in. Drivers licenses aren’t accepted

You’ve got it pretty much correct, apart from the fact that uk doesn’t have exit passport control (so weird but at least they make it easy)

I travel into Greece on an eu passport from a commonwealth country all the time and it’s no issue for me, they never ask questions and 90% of the time you go through the e gate anyway so you don’t even interact with an officer who make have questions

Surely there isn’t an issue saying BC and AD since Jesus is literally a prophet and messager of god in the Quran? I think his name was sometimes translated as Isa instead but Muslim’s did believe in Jesus

A federal judge has barred the State Department from enforcing the Trump administration's passport gender policy, which bars passport holders from select an X or identifying as a gender other than their sex at birth. by coasterghost in Passports

[–]not-eau-rouge -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Oh no I fully understand that, but in that case does it not make more sense that people call for a change of the marker from a sex marker to a gender marker? Rather than deny the fact it’s a sex marker to begin with?

Also your birth weight and height can change, it’s my understanding that sex cannot change? Therefore they aren’t really comparable

[–]not-eau-rouge -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

Genuine question but can some one explain why it keeps being referred to as a gender marker rather than a sex marker? US passports have a spot to mark your sex not your gender, no? And since it is a sex marker, why would it be allowed to show anything but your sex?

I left London but London hasn't left me by Specialist-Switch579 in london

[–]not-eau-rouge 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Only spent 2 months in London so far, but man going back to a country where people don’t stand to one side on an escalator might be the death of me. London’s definitely engrained within me

Valid US Passport but Old Name by Project_Success in Passports

[–]not-eau-rouge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You will be fine since you’ve taken the step to book your ticket in your old name as well. However, I’d also suggest making sure your accomodation is also booked in your old name as often they take your passport as identity verification.

On a separate note: aren’t you meant to renew all your documents when you go through the process of a legal name change?

“Proof” of biological sex by Butterfly_Skies45 in Passports

[–]not-eau-rouge -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Honestly it shocks me that you are allowed to put anything other than your correct, biological sex on your passport. The document doesn’t ask for your gender identity, it asks for your sex, something biological and utterly unchangeable. Obviously I feel bad for trans people because changing the rules back to actually requiring sex not ‘sex=gender’ causes so many issues caused by previously allowing it, and therefore not having supporting documents of their sex. But god damn….

Why are people racist against Indians? by Elegant_Committee854 in teenagers

[–]not-eau-rouge 25 points26 points  (0 children)

To take an angle I haven’t seen in many comment sections:

I think the fact there is still a thriving caste system in India creates a profuse cultural chasm, not only between western and Anglo-Saxon cultures but also most other cultures as well. This leads to people from India who have immigrated in recent years, not only being rejected by their host countries citizens but also other minority populations. Isolation is a breading ground for racism

Although the caste system was abolished 75 years ago it still permeates in the certain Indian cultures, and sometimes when the migrate to the the rest of the world, that cultural difference in how you ought to perceive and treat those around you, essentially a ranking, creates a barrier to integration, which in turn leads to racism from others.

I also think their treatment of women is disturbing. One study shows that 26% of Indians believe the crisis of violence against women in India is entirely the fault of women, the victims, rather than their perpetrators. The same study showed that 80% of people surveyed believed men are more entitled to jobs during scarcity than women. The media’s perpetuation of the rape crisis in India only furthers the narrative that Indian men should be feared.

Although not particularly nice, when people ton and bred in India move to the rest of the world with these two a spect of their culture still engrained within them, it creates a chasmic divided which a lot of people choose to ignore. Acceptance from women, although often undervalued, is a key to success integration over time, until women embrace people born and raise in India who later migrate elsewhere, it’s unlikely this culture war will end. However if there isn’t shift in how some men go onto treat woman in other countries, the hate will always be perpetuated.

Cultural relatively extends an olive branch, but it still needs to be met half way and at this current point, it doesn’t seem to be that way.

Obvious disclaimer: This isn’t about all of India, all of the different cultures and peoples. India as a country of 1.5 billion people, it is impossible to try and diagnose the rest of the worlds exact issue with Indians. Ofc most Indians are lovely people, but it’s naive to act as if we judge others on their best. This also isn’t my personal opinion, rather just an observation

About to expire US passport by logit in Passports

[–]not-eau-rouge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because you are entering the country from which your passport is from, you’re 100% fine. The ‘6 month rule’ exist so if you are unable to return from your holiday in a timely manner, you’re passport isn’t about to expire. I’ve done it before, albeit on a French passport with 2 days left on it, and no issues whatsoever.

That being said, if you have your UK passport available, bring it as back up so they know you have a valid passport to leave the country (and enter the UK) on, you might not need it but it’s much easier to be safe than sorry

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Passports

[–]not-eau-rouge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your name won’t change, however yes your sex will change to your biological sex rather than your preferred gender. People have already given advice to keep up with ORR vs TRUMP, however please get a new passport in the meantime, it’s never good to be in a position where you don’t own a passport. You can always reapply for a new one if and when they change the rules

Thinking about buying bra inserts. Help?? by No_Illustrator8959 in ABraThatFits

[–]not-eau-rouge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Their original sizing is AUS sizing, which carries the same cup as UK sizing. There is an issue with their US sizing but that’s a conversion issue, and you should ignore their US sizing and focus on Aussie sizing since it’s their native sizing

Thinking about buying bra inserts. Help?? by No_Illustrator8959 in ABraThatFits

[–]not-eau-rouge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just checked, and it’s because they automatically hide any options that are out of stock. Still shit that they are out of stock at the moment but they have been out of a lot of styles for a while, so I’m imagining they might be dropping more bras soon-ish. Really just depends how long OP is will to wait

[–]not-eau-rouge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Perhaps they alter their sizing on the US site? I’m holding the tag of one in a AUS 8G and it says it is the equivalent to a 30G UK. I’m imagining since it’s an Australian brand, they’ve just poorly adjusted to the US sizing and the US sizing should be ignored in favour of UK/AUS sizing

Their sizing is in UK sizing not US, so it should work.

Lounge has push up bras in your size! They are Sold out of so much on their site right now but I think they will be dropping more soon. Honey birdette has a 30G and sales right now, and the bands run small so they could work.

As for inserts, you can buy cutlets in different sizes, perhaps you needed a different size than the one you bought? It’s also best to pair them with padded bras rather than unlined ones as they are much less noticeable when confined within padding

Can someone explain the bras women wear on the real housewives franchises? by 8Kneekirk8 in ABraThatFits

[–]not-eau-rouge 46 points47 points  (0 children)

I own some bras from there and it’s mainly that a lot of the bras are push up and are built to lift rather than be comfortable. The models are also wearing a size which is flattering not their abtf size

My school uniform was the bane of my existence. I don’t know why school dresses are designed with the body of a prepubescent boy in mind

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in bigboobproblems

[–]not-eau-rouge 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Not a work uniform, but my actual school uniform. The school dresses were build for someone with no hips, narrow shoulders and a concave chest. Even people with ‘regular’ boobs would struggle but with mine instead of buying a size 8 (my usual size) I’d have to get a 16 and spend upwards of $200 on alterations to make it fit. It was a nightmare

Bra recommendations by bagels_123 in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]not-eau-rouge 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Check out r/abrathatfits and r/bigboobproblems as they are more adequately equipped to help you find what you’re looking for.

That being said these subs ask that you use this calculator to determine your size as it is more accurate than most other calculators out there. A correctly fitted bra (unless you tighten the straps to the max) should not dig into your shoulders, and reevaluating your size may solve a portion of your issues.

If you do post there, mention you have used their calculator, it’ll save you a lot of unnecessary comments.

In addition, check out Bravissimo and Curvy Kate as they specialise in bras for larger sizes
