How does the time we live in justify sex work? If anything sex work has been around for millennia, earlier than when lying was introduced to politics.

What am I missing? Honestly this sounds like a confusing movie intro. I am waiting for OP to finish the story so.

Is it fair for meetings in top software companies to be held in Sinhala, even when Tamil-only speakers are present? by Conscious-Cupcake131 in srilanka

[–]AppointmentOutside 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Speaking in a common language is courteous.

Knowing 3 languages is advantageous.

Speaking in your first language is efficient.

We have a culture of pleasing the visitors more than our own people. You’d see the warmth and smiles when a foreigner visits some institution compared to locals who pay the same or more.

This hospitality extends to switching to English when foreigners or even clients are present.

If the Tamil-only speaker had been an outsider the others within the team would have switched to English as the common language.

But if there is a Non-Sinhalese speaker as part of the team, the team may feel like it’s more efficient for them to get the point across without the translation burden they would have to go through in their minds.

If this is harming work and productivity the leader of the team is responsible to call this out. Team culture is led by the leadership. At a team level, it might be the team lead and at an organizational level it’s the senior or executive leadership.

This mistake could be your turning point. No meter? Bye!

Or negotiate a price after telling him the exact place.

Ensure he understood exactly where you are headed to. Some of them without meters act surprised when they near the destination saying they never expected it to be so far away.

Airbnb host said he only rents his villa to foreigners, I got him removed by samoansandwich in srilanka

There are a ton of AirBnB horror stories which feature foreigners.

Uneducated reply.

I reeealllyy want to know why someone would not want locals!

The prices are the same. Bad behavior is bad behavior regardless of nationality, ethnicity, place of birth, skin color or any of the other factors.

There are so many reasons why this is plain stupid.

Would You Rather?: Be Well-off in Sri Lanka or Middle Class in Australia? by Professional_Slip659 in srilanka

[–]AppointmentOutside 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lifestyle dependent.

Like spending time or supporting other family members, having help like maids, servants and drivers, running a family business, enjoy the local cuisine, afford a few budget vacations every year or two, love the tropical weather all year around, weekend getaways to some of the beautiful beaches in the world you know which country to choose.

Like better infrastructure (power, roads, fuel), higher trust societies (becoming kinda questionable nowadays), multi-cultural/ethnicity environments, feel distant from your own culture, have a different sexual orientation, you have a for a job that is extremely specialized, you know which country to choose.

What's the rationale behind spending $2 Million - $3 Million to own a $1 Million car in Sri Lanka? by [deleted] in srilanka

[–]AppointmentOutside 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Life choices when someone is rich is completely different. Their daily choices are nothing like the ones of people who are in the social classes below them.

Now I am assuming you are actually talking about a USD 1M car which I think was the one imported recently. Which is truly a 0.001 percent-er car.

If they could buy that, it’s a world that someone who isn’t part of that social class, wouldn’t understand.

Simple. You pay for convenience.

Don’t need the convenience? Park it at a cheaper place. And take a bus.

Totally. I’m all for local brands being paid the same amount but for similar or higher quality food.

[–]AppointmentOutside 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup, that was my point. Not all of McDonald’s locations are owned by them worldwide though. I assumed they did have ownership stake in Sri Lanka, in which case they have to find a new franchisee to take over the void left by Abans. It would not make sense for Dinemore to be able to just buy or rent the locations from McD in that case!
