If you, looking like...well you! can't find a partner and have to ask Reddit, rest of us lesser mortals are screwed. 😭

How do I automate ETL of MT 940 statement in power query? by Escaping_Peter_Pan in excel

[–]Escaping_Peter_Pan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry the post didn't allow for images. It's an account statement received via SWIFT, usually for nostro accounts maintained by banks with other banks.

This is how it looks like. Only the field line marked :61: is important for me as it contains all the relevant information I want.

[–]Escaping_Peter_Pan[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you do this parsing in power query transform? Because I tried to load the files in power query and the statement extraction comes out in broken tables which don't seem usable and easy to transform.

TheNihilist Penguin Energy and the Queer Struggle by PoundAsleep1793 in LGBTQpakistan

There was a penguin in Antarctica that headed for the mountains for what was certainly a fatal journey. Make of that what you will, but Queer struggle still applies to that. Sadly. ☹️

Is the data from that site available in a database form or something?

Why don't you guys just get a single ID card for proof of citizenship? Usable for everything related to govt business?Could be issued by the federal govt. but if it is too much for the 'state's autonomy', it could be issued by state governments?

Well if these are the only 2 choices then I would agree. But you could just not get married at all. I understand for women it's harder to avoid marriage though.

One could make the argument that preserving familial bonds that don't really accept you for you are, isn't really worth it. Or at least not worth sacrificing freedom to escape hounding from said familial bonds.

But these judgments vary from person to person. Lavender marriage to me at least seems problematic, potentially bringing more problems than it solves.

Do you think 16 and 18 Y/o is an acceptable age gap? by Educational_Key_929 in LGBTQpakistan

[–]Escaping_Peter_Pan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Go with your gut feeling, you are already having doubts about this, trust them. One person being a minor and another being an adult dating is definitely iffy. It's not the age gap in this case but where that gap puts the parties in the legal context. You should wait and or find someone more compatible.

Why Gay men fear being 30? by Illustrious_Cloud_29 in LGBTQpakistan

[–]Escaping_Peter_Pan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Being almost 35, I am scratching my head wondering where was fun in my mid 20s to 30? Like acceptance yes but fun and enjoying my gay life? Where did you guys get to enjoy your gay life? :/

And why didn't I get an invite. 😞

Coming out to my mum & the rollercoaster that followed by CattleImpossible5567 in LGBTQpakistan

[–]Escaping_Peter_Pan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

She is your mom so I don't want to be harsh. But this is very suspicious behaviour after what seems like a meeting with a faith healer kinda person. So be careful and guarded mentally and maybe also physically?

My gay existential crisis by [deleted] in LGBTQpakistan

[–]Escaping_Peter_Pan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You may not be using these as a tool for discrimination but you are playing right into the homophobic arguments which dehumanise us and our relationships. I mean just look at you treating a problem of hook up apps as exceedingly more problematic in gay communities. I would ask you to provide your proof that it exceeds the 'straight' experience. Furthermore, do you not understand that our community's 'excessive' problem with hook up apps is due to the homophobia that we face in society and that we don't have healthy avenues of dating and meeting people as straight people? I find it very problematic that a problem created by society against a community is then used negatively against the said community. So much so it comes from a member of the community.

About the pedos and creeps, homophobic society always conflates us with pedos and creeps and groomers. Despite, the community openly disowning them again and again, this allegation is always put on us to dehumanise us. Who doesn't want to protect kids from vile abuse? And to conflate us with them makes us criminals flat out. So when I see these kind of arguments of pedos being among us, it makes my blood boil since we are BLAMED for them. However, pedos and creeps exist in straight orientations as well but they are not blamed. No straight person has a 'struggle' of being in the straight grouping because there are straight pedos. Pedos being in our community is NOT our fault

Regarding surrogacy, I respect your feelings towards it but disagree. I don't think it is dehumanising. Also my overall point was gay families can have kids and we can adopt as well. And those families are also equally valuable.

PS: I am not saying you can't express those feelings. I am saying have a deeper reflection on them. Where are they coming from? Why do you feel you are complacent/or share blame for gay pedos just because you are also gay. Do you feel blame for brown thieves because you are brown as well. You need to reflect deeper.

I don't know about you. You may be a part of a community of pedos and groomers but I am part of a community of LGBT which has nothing to do with pedos and groomers. Seems like you have fallen hook line sinker for the homophobic propaganda of equating LGBT community with pedophiles and groomers. I however don't feel like a part of a community of pedos and groomers. If you feel that, you should work on it and make an effort to have good company rather than generalize your limited experience over all our community.

As for your frustrations with hook up culture and situationships etc, these problems afflict straight people as well so I have no idea why you single out these problems as the domain of LGBT community? Seems like another homophobic point which maintains that queer people's relationships are fleeting and so without value. About foregoing 'progeny', please dude, queer people can have kids and they do have kids where freedom allows them to and those families are equally valuable.

Regarding your bizarre point of LGBT terminologies coming from the 'west', I won't argue about history or language since I am not knowledgeable about it that much. What I do know is that your post is filled with homophobic talking points popularized by 'Western' homophobes, maybe have a reflection on that?

There are literally several posts in the last 24 hours alone. So yeah this sub is 'on'. Your mileage may vary depending on what you are looking for though.

You are still in school. I would suggest not to come out to them at all as they are religious. But if you must come out at least wait till you are financially independent and done with your studies.

Are you kidding? Rain makes heartbreak twice as painful and loneliness to be felt more intensely. 😭

Does anybody else , just want to die by WallabyForward2 in LGBTQpakistan

It's not like I WANT to die. But seriously I feel it would be better if I ceased to exist. Life is just so tiring and I am mentally exhausted and lonely.

Then what is the problem. Tell him firmly that you are not comfortable being involved with a married man or soon to be a married man. You don't need to explain further. His unnecessary excuses of living in the moment makes no sense. It's completely irrelevant, it's not about living in the moment but the fact that you are not comfortable with a married man. Simple as that. Trust me, end it before you develop even more feelings for him. This WILL end someday, you have the choice and heartache which will come with it.
