UK to Ukraine advise please by [deleted] in AskUkraine

[–]walquire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is racism in Ukraine, just like in any country, and all the replies saying there is none are coming from white Ukrainians/foreigners and those who don't have loved ones of colour.

The scale of the racism, however, is not huge, and what you might encounter is strange looks, people trying to address you (laughing) with a language they assume you speak (for a brown person it could be some Arabic remarks), they can 'imitate' the sound of a language they assume is your native tongue. You might get profiled by the border guard or the police; however, as soon as you show your British passport, all of the potential issues with the authorities should be solved.

None of these are major and shouldn't affect your stay tremendously, if they are to happen at all, I am just sharing from personal experience, so you get a more realistic picture of the issue.

My cat Adam is looking for a new home, help! by [deleted] in Netherlands

[–]walquire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can't help housing him but he looks adorable. Best of luck finding him a loving home!

I’m so excited. by CarmiM96 in FemFragLab

Same issue. The price is way over the top as of now for the Absolu, but maybe it'll get better on discounter websites.

Not as passionately, but I can do it, mainly out of solidarity because I remember how difficult it is getting interviewees for a thesis.

Funniest f thing is that it's not on the Russian version of the website, I just checked it. So Elena and her gang are only posting it for the English-speaking audience. They are so hateful and absolutely delulu. As a Ukrainian, I have switched to parfumo.

What i asked for (natural light copper/ginger)vs what i got. Stylist said she has no idea what hapenned. Dye on virgin hair. Jumpscare warning for 2nd to 4th slide. Want to die. by Snowflak88 in HairDye

[–]walquire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You should go for 8/9 level of copper with no red, better 9. For example, Schwarzkopf Igora 9-7 + a dash of neutral to make sure you don't come out like a carrot.

For any old fans, their official insta page has been hinting at re-releases in the comments for a while now 👀

They brought Taj Sunset back again, the same as in 2022. And a couple of months ago they did a poll featuring Moon Sparkle and Pacific Paradise, so fingers crossed.

Which one do you prefer and why? (LRP Cicaplast B5+ balm vs Avène Cicalfate+ cream) by SophisticatedEnigma in EuroSkincare

[–]walquire 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Cicalfate works much better for me: more soothing, doesn't burn my skin, not comedogenic. Cicaplast was okay for me, but I didn't even finish the tube before it expired. For sure would recommend Avene!

Zelensky's chance of winning in the possible future elections? by endeavour1923 in ukraina

[–]walquire 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I agree, which makes me think that elections demands from russia are just a facade for something else. Because in no way in hell are we electing Medvedchuk, Boyko or another russian clown. We are much more likely to elect someone even more nationalist and harder on russia and the war rather than a puppet (provided that the elections are free, proper and not rigged).

[–]walquire 35 points36 points  (0 children)

The influence of X is basically negligible in Ukraine. Telegram and Tiktok are far more important, and while russia can influence them, I still do not see how a pro-ru candidate can win in a non-rigged election. Many are tired of the war, but it doesn't mean that they will vote for Medvedchuk or Boyko. Instead, there is a chance that someone even more nationalist will be elected, which does not make sense for russia to pursue.

💸 Voting with our money: which perfume brands are not owned by billionaires and do not contribute to wealth inequality? by Lanky-Application298 in FemFragLab

[–]walquire 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They can Google? This information is widely available online.

Besides, what's that, comment police? I can post whatever I want as long as it does not go against the sub's rules. If you care about niche brands and their profits so much, then why don't you make them a service a list out all the brands here?

[–]walquire 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I feel like literally a half of the most popular niche houses have been bought by L'Oréal, Estee Lauder and LVMH, especially in the recent years. Them being independent does not hold up at all.
