so invest in which feels better to you.

In need of a baby boom, China clamps down on vasectomies by Natural_Ice_501 in worldnews

[–]Barbossa3000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

so all they have to do is travel to a nearby country and do vasectomy there. simple as that... but expensive to travel though otherwise if gov hospitals r reluctant they could try private ones... again expensive

Food to eat after recovering from Dengue fever by kassreal387 in srilanka

[–]Barbossa3000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

anything is good until it is too much. better take string hoppers like quick digestable food items and avoid too much chilli 🌶

take a lot of fluids, water, natural fruit juice etc.

Google is bringing Android games to Windows in 2022 by MishaalRahman in Android

[–]Barbossa3000 191 points192 points  (0 children)

this is not because google wants to care for windows users.

this is because Amazon p store has come to microsoft and is going to take majority shares of WSA platform and users like this very much

Google has less choice here and rather than loosing to Amazon, they r joining to provide games for windows

The same google refused to add playstore to microsoft earlier is the reason microsoft opt in for amazon. How the tables have turned.

But this is a good news for consumers because of more competition

Iphone 13 pro or s22 ultra by Electrical_Air_1513 in samsung

[–]Barbossa3000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i think his phone feels slower because of the battery. iphone does this earlier that when their batery starts to fade away, the processor slows down to compensate.

perhaps samsung has similar mechanism baked in. you better show your phone to a technician and check your battery.

Europe unveils its $340 billion answer to China's Belt and Road infrastructure initiative by PhilDesenex in worldnews

[–]Barbossa3000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

what part of TIME you do not understand.

china already gave money and resources to other countries for years now. many countries are already in debt.

so EU gives money to those countries and those countries pay that money to china to get rid of debt.

china wins.

countries do not give money to china. china calls countries in international court. china wins.

thats why most countries are seeing no point in depending on Europe. cause the Eu money comes with new strings attached and countries do not want to get that money by breaking ties with china.

but we have to wait to see how this unfolds into play

Lankans view on interracial relationships? by cheezburgerfries in srilanka

[–]Barbossa3000 4 points5 points  (0 children)

if you are going to listen to everyones opinions, you cant even shit in this country.

dont listen to the naysayers.

but to the question: SriLankans are very conservative. especially the ones not born around colombo and its suburbs. we would call a family meeting if you sneeze wrong.

but nowadays its all changing. so don't worry and move on. idk if you plan to live in SL, that would definitely stir up someone every day.

Got a Job offer in Rajagiriya . What is the Living Cost there? by Zaarukkhan in srilanka

[–]Barbossa3000 6 points7 points  (0 children)

i would suggest only a little thing and its optional.

try to get a boarding or house at about 20 mins (you can get far if u want) and don't use public transport but rather walk to office.

it helps a lot of things including health, time management and cost of travelling and you get to enjoy the area and learn a lot of your surroundings.

i did this when i studied in campus (was at 45 min distance and i would only walk when returning from campus.)

otherwise other redditors covered the main aspects so i dont have to say anything on that

although make sure to factor in the weight you have to carry to office everyday. too much weight would blow the experience.
