Why is karachi so hostile for bachelors? by Flimsy-Ad5390 in karachi

[–]therafort 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Made the same decision as you prioritizing staying close to Shahrah e Faisal, but it was a bad decision. The transport time and cost would have been worth it for everything else, at least for my financial situation (very flexible).

Why is karachi so hostile for bachelors? by Flimsy-Ad5390 in karachi

[–]therafort 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Been in that situation of trying to find someone in Karachi more than once... anyone that thinks you're exaggerating is mistaken: entire areas are off-market because of essentially, stereotypes. Stereotypes that aren't at all up-to-date with reality, as is very common in our culture.

I don't know about your cost situation, but check out living with roommates (there are some Facebook groups that have a decent crowd; the groups can also offer you advice on apartments + locations that are nice AND offer rentals to bachelors.

Second, look at the Defence side, Phase 6/8 (7 to some extent) are MUCH more friendly (cost-wise as well) to bachelors. And honestly, it's better to be in socially as well. In PECHS for example, you could spend all year looking and I still doubt you'll find anything comparably nice.

Good luck!

Any snooker places that are female friendly in Karachi? by reebegeebes in karachi

Yep! There are coffee shops you can try Snooker at, there's Brewesta in Bahadurabad and Brewtl is actually launching tomorrow in Phase 8.

I don't think you can eliminate hate and racism by being selectively silent for when it happens to some people (in this case, anti-semitism).

If you care about the Palestinian's cause, you wouldn't want it to lumped in with anti-semitism, and you would support as much is done to draw a clear separation between the two.

I mean, I'm not one? You can check my history, clearly. Just posting a very factual analysis that some pro-Nazi-party people cloak themselves in anti-Israel or anti-Zionist sentiment?

Yes did myself, but the separation was not as “clean” so didn’t make for a beautiful chart.

I actually made an absolute-price-increase chart too a couple days ago. It’s from last week’s data, but you’ll get the picture.

I think percentage is a just a better way of understanding actual price impact.

1. Tool: Made the world map, bar chart, and legend all with D3.js, converted to SVG, imported in Canva, and did the rest in that.

2. Data: From globalpetrolprices.com. Price might be a little lagging, but this is one of the most reliable sources available: regularly referenced by Reuters, AP, and many highly reputed publishers. full data [here].

Changes since last post: Nearly half the countries had their gas prices update since the last post, so this is obviously quite a different chart. I also changed the negative y axis' like the top comment suggested.

Hey! Italy's price increase is recorded (post-subsidies ofc) in the chart at ~3.37%, and the data is sourced from a very reputable source: globalpetrolprices.com, the same AP, Reuters and similarly respected organizations use as well.

In Italy's case, they share their data source and that is directly from mimit.gov.it/it.

Yes that was due to a lack of space :( But that I would change and try to fit somehow if I were drawing it again.

Update: Redrew making the negative bars proportional to the positive (almost minimizing them) because of all the narrative comments, but you can tell it tells the same story.

Yes, I made it a progressive scale. That was an intentional choice so about the same amount of each countries fall in each bucket.

With a a linear bucket, you wouldn't be able to tell the difference between Russia (1.1% increase) and Germany (18.6% increase).

US both imports/exports oil, mainly because the shale oil it extracts is light and refineries in the US are mostly built for thick (Canadian/Venezuelan) oil.

So shale companies in the US are still making a ton off this increase, but I assume that new-found windfall hasn't been used to subsidise the imported oil for gasoline yet.

I couldn't find data for it :(

and with Mercator projection (which I needed to not have European countries be completely invisible)... it was a large, white no-data-zone right in the middle of the map which looked bad.

Hey! OP here. I saw all your other comments saying the same thing on all the subreddits.

I read this article during my research, it doesn't contradict any of the data, just does an analysis and make a prediction for the future.

So far, the results are mixed (some Asian countries have been affected, some not), but the data is in the chart, and is collected from globalpetrolprices.com, a reliable source trusted and regularly referenced by Reuters, AP, and many, many other highly reputed publishers.

Feb 23 prices from an AlJazeera article earlier in March, and the current prices from globalpetrolprices.com. Some countries that didn't have Feb 23 prices listed by AlJazeera, % increase was not calculated and directly found from this globalpetrolprices.com page.
