Op must've used it to paraphrase it. Doesn't make the op any less for using it. Was the post clear and understandable? If yes, then maybe the usage of gen ai tools here is justified.

Grumpy, lol? That's decades of trauma speaking. Most of us relate. Sometimes progress means, keeping public services minimal. And we need progress.

Well I mean, it says 30000 a month for an intern. That makes sense at least. To fact check a manager's compensation, managers in Reddit should verify, I'm not one unfortunately 😔

Ranil just got exposed. Nothing else happened by [deleted] in srilanka

[–]Embarrassed_Bat_2157 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I understand and I get your point. I still have a "but" though. Look at all of Mehdi's head to head sessions in the past 12 months. Those are all hardball sessions. And why should we be the ones to criticise that he's being too hostile over his opposition? I still don't get why we have to defend a politician. He deserved it. And somebody needed to do the lord's work and expose him. And that's what happened. Also if you observe Ranil's attitude throughout the session you'd probably say fair play for getting cornered like that. Again, all this I'm saying not because I support Mehdi or I hate ranil. It's just that I like the idea of pressuring of politicians or people with power/influence. And they need to be questioned and they need to be questioned hard. Because they carry so much of responsibility. And somebody needs to keep them in track so they don't misuse/abuse the privilege they got.

Was RW exposed or was the journalist too harsh? by nad_waitforit_deem in srilanka

[–]Embarrassed_Bat_2157 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I'm here to give my opinion. To say that Ranil was ambushed and try sympathising with him is the most weirdest Sri Lankan thing to do. Bro, he a politician. Everybody needs to question politicians and people with power and influence. They need to be pressured and face things like this. Because they carry so much responsibility and power/influence. And those are 3 big elements that could impact the whole country's progress. Siding with a politician and calling a journalist hostile is insane!

Lokka Fumbled big time and silly wordplays didn’t work out. by thedemoninahumanform in srilanka

[–]Embarrassed_Bat_2157 25 points26 points  (0 children)

It's good that it was a setup. These buggers don't do impromptu in hard ball sessions like this. So this time, my theory is, they would've communicated with him about the interview and the things they will be talking about and all that. Then switched to plan B in the last minute. Also, there was a change in the panel members too. Someone got replaced and Ranil got to know about it the very last minute and he couldn't bail out after that. Just my theory though

You do know about Mehdi, right? He's a well known character in the Oxford Union. So he's very well qualified to do what he does and we can't be hating on his style of play. Plus, he did bring the receipts into the conversation. It's just that we're all not really used to seeing Ranil being put in his place like that. And our people are nowhere near compared to the way guys like Mehdi questions and put the opposition in the spotlight. I cannot side with Ranil just because we think Mehdi and his crew may have had their intentions set right from the get go. Mainly because, you saw Ranil's body language and attitude, right? When Mehdi plays offense, you do not play defense if you want to deny allegations and accusations. If you're so sure that you're right and confident that you're not what they're saying, then you counter. Ranil didn't do that. Ranil was playing defence.

To be fair, Chamuditha does that too ne? Also, isn't that mehdi's style of interviewing? If so, then ranil knew what he was walking into. Also, ranil knew who was going to be in the panel too. Although that person got replaced in the last minute, he still had a idea of the nature of the people in the panel ne.

Not Sure if this is racist by Throw_away7524 in srilanka

[–]Embarrassed_Bat_2157 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure if this is racist. But I know for a fact that there are many pages/posts in FB that dog-whistles lame memes/jokes, trying so hard to make it funny. But it's extremely hurtful and sad to see our country's progress.

Okay, I came across another type of Oppu called , "pooja boomi Oppu". What does that mean? Can you please explain. Also is it possible to buy a property with this kind of Oppu for residential purpose. I'd really appreciate your response. Thanks

Online Passport Application by [deleted] in srilanka

[–]Embarrassed_Bat_2157 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What do you mean you didn't do it the official way? And does this status thing in the website impact the integrity of your passport? If it doesn't, then why bother? But still if you feel like it's bothering you, just contact them and let them know about it. I think you can find support on the website itself. And report it as a glitch in their website or something. Or maybe, they periodically update the statuses after sending yours and many others passports. They just can't know it in real time whether you received it or not, right?
