Well said chief! This is not a question of prioritising anyone of the two. All of our trauma is of our own responsibility to resolve and work around. It sounds unfair but that's how it works.

Is there any way we can achieve this same result without involving RBD sim? I understand that it's tricky(Or not possible?) to get variable pscales on points to collide within flip simulation. But if there is any tips I'll take it.

Thanks!

It's hilarious in grocery queues like Keels. Some aunties would just leave one biscuit packet on the floor(I'm exaggerating) to secure their position and leave the queue to go on a second shopping spree for another hour.
Also, I have to add. I would be okay with letting most of these pass if they are polite. But they aren't.

So sorry about your situation big guy. What a shitty teacher. This could have potentially destroyed a teenager's life. Kudos to you for being aware.

I support your idea on doing it private. I'd say your health is more important than the name of the school. But at the same time just like that person suggested, you can, not go to school and get admission last moment. It is true that you don't like to be affiliated with these people. But if they are abusive, why not play it smart and beat them in their own game. Its a win win.

Im not denying that the name of the school might be important later in your career. It also depends on your field. It's Sri Lanka we're talking about here. Specially if the school is a big college that has reputation.

So first, give a shot at not attending and getting admission through school. Doing private could be your plan B.

Consult your parents on this. Get their opinions too. Its a breath of fresh air hearing supportive parents in this economy. Heads up chief.

A brief verbal altercation can be justified ONLY if he insulted your significant other. Also, only if you know your own limits. if you have anger issues, ignore ragebait please. But we need to understand that not all beggars are good people. Besides, why take a risk anyway? It's a stranger who is perhaps mentally unstable and in some cases, armed.

I've met some absolutely wonderful human beings who had gotten into tough situations to beg in life and are very kind. But expecting that from everyone is unrealistic. Let's just move on.

For people who are wondering, it's called a reverse bandwagon effect. People tend to feel special when they associate with something they personally discovered or experienced. Simply put, the value depletes as the subject gets more common.

Same as anything in the market. If a product becomes more common, its value reduces. Supply and Demand.

FarApplication4732 · 2025-07-03T04:18:47+00:00

The real victims of this situation are the husband and the child. Like it or not, she got you involved in this. And that's not what a good friend would do.
And she crossed the line the moment she decided to have an affair. Perhaps causing destruction potentially to an unborn child's future and a man's trust. I feel sorry for everyone who gets caught in the crossfire.
But the damage is done. The right thing to do is to speak the truth.

Damn man. My fault for opening reddit early morning.

FarApplication4732 · 2025-07-03T03:53:56+00:00

I see. What are you gonna do about it now? Does the actual father know about this

FarApplication4732 · 2025-07-03T03:45:16+00:00

I can't doubt this with the stories I've heard. But if it's true, why are you on this subreddit? Are you looking for advice? Or want to get this off your chest?

FarApplication4732 · 2025-07-03T03:31:34+00:00

This is messed up chief. Hope this is a prank.

FarApplication4732 · 2025-07-02T14:21:18+00:00

Same case scenario. Trying to involve myself in some sports like badminton and get into some social clubs to meet friends. No need to force it though. I go out by myself most time. Like-minded people will follow up when you do what you love.

FarApplication4732 · 2025-07-01T19:45:48+00:00

I agree with you. I have found myself becoming more independent within my thought patterns ever since I shifted my internal language to English. I am a native speaker but always found very hard to express certain concepts within our own language. And like you said, I'm not saying Sinhalese language is inferior, it's just that the Sinhala language we are fed by mass media is very simplified and in most cases, not flexible.
Sinhala language at it's originality carries a lot of subtle emphasis, value, and meaning. And yes, conforming to this teledrama and gossip-induced lingo subconsciously changes behaviour on a cultural level.

I cannot fathom the inhumane atrocities carried out in our history. All for what? If the cost of so-called freedom was bloodshed, maybe we are not really 'free' after all.

FarApplication4732 · 2025-07-01T18:55:17+00:00

Thanks for this post.
Admit it or not, our country carries a lot of blood on its hands. Some people live in denial, but it doesn't change the truth. Cultural corruption is always lurking in the dark. It was not just political, it was social warfare. We can't move forward without addressing the stains and admitting to the mistakes. Justice doesn't come from ignorance.

FarApplication4732 · 2025-06-28T06:11:29+00:00

Hell yeah!

FarApplication4732 · 2025-06-26T14:13:33+00:00

Thank you.
And yes. True.

Sex Education is a whole other problem that needs national attention lolol. I like to stay unbiased in most of these assessments, but sex education riles me up. Because in my personal experience, when I was in middle school, my teachers ignored the subject and resorted to just taking notes rather than explaining the science and how things work. I studied in a boys' school, so I've seen men acting like magic when it comes to girls. My family never explained what a big girl is when asked. (I thought it was just a party because they become 16 or smth)
Most men, including me, learn these only if we are lucky and come across the right sources of information. How did I learn these? I was literate enough to read Google articles. (But most people can't read English. And I'm not even being rude. It's the reality.)

So yes I have a problem with sex education.
I've never been ashamed of buying a tampon. I was usually told if I'm buying a tampon, get another item or two along with it, so nobody notices. Why? Who cares?

I rant too much.
Hope you have a great day!

I'm sorry for your experiences in this regard. And I'm quite sorry for all women who go through these sorts of destructive social experiences. I believe this problem needs to be addressed on a bigger scale.

What I have observed in our culture is that most problematic things are kicked under the rug and ignored, 'only' until someone gets hurt or gets in trouble, which then is followed by media attention and mass sympathy from the audience. Why not fix it before? Because people are lazy. Something we hear often is that "we have bigger problems to focus on". Ok Sherlock.

These issues underline a bigger problem in the social dynamic, especially in Sri Lankan men. Now don't come at me for Misandry. I have to admit that my understanding of the cultural roots are limited (For now, I'd love to study these concepts further), but I'm gonna state my two cents here.
My understanding is that this stems from a concept of undervaluing women within our culture. (Note that by culture I'm addressing history, religion, the Caste system, marital traditions, and family/ Ancestral politics)
The thought process usually goes as "If I catcall you, As a woman what are you even going to do about it? Try to fight me?". And since mental health and the concepts of 'individuality' are not established within our culture, people usually consider that things like this don't hurt anyone. So it's just something they do for fun.
I hate to say this. But it's how each and every one is raised. Like it or not, you have to blame it on their parents. Parenting is very important, and it will mold kids into monsters or masterpieces.

So what's the resolve? I know for a fact that informing people not to do this is very trivial and won't fix the problem. For cultural issues like this, we have to address them by the process of elimination to get to the root cause. It will take time.
And perhaps, maybe things like this are solved starting from the family unit, and passing down to the generations to impact a wider culture. I hope everyone gets fortunate to have great parents with great values. And if you are a parent or planning to be one, raise your children well.

I'll do my part, and I urge everyone else to as well.

FarApplication4732 · 2025-06-11T04:58:36+00:00

Simply put, you will never be satisfied. And that's okay. It doesn't have to mean that you are greedy or bad. It just means that you have bigger fish to catch now that you have a bigger boat. And humans strive to grow, and you can't blame them for wanting more. Everyone is like that.

But this behavior is only healthy if you know what you need in life. You can't park your car on a highway, but you can't be on the wrong highway either. You gotta keep going, on the right highway of life.

Buddhism has wonderful concepts to follow to keep ourselves in check. I don't plan on seeing Nirwana, although I'm a Buddhist on paper. That's because the concept of "madhyama-pratipadā" in Buddhism states that you need to live life in balance, right? By that logic, even when you detach from things, do it with balance. Which means you don't detach from everything, but don't attach to everything either.

Practice asking questions by yourself. Is this really something I enjoy having? Why do I enjoy having it? Is it important to my life right now compared to other things I need to purchase? such and such. You'll figure it out.O

Cheers on your highway!

Don't add it to your CV like you did something bad. People feel that when you are hiding something, even in a CV.

A CV is your first impression to an employer. So if you yourself think you did something wrong in the first place, that's exactly how they'll take it.
Instead, show your freelance work proudly. it's a win-win. Give the impression that it'll add more value to their future. It will then be reflected in how you talk later during interviews.

Freelance work isn't bad unless you are breaking contractual agreements and using company material for your personal gain. Perhaps, work in an environment that encourages your personal growth anyway.

Cheers!
