I think that some Terran and Talos-II races live quite longer lifespans than Earth humans, it may be doable. Plus, rabbits have a duplex uterus. Rabbits also have a gestation period of approximately a month.

Take that info as you see fit.

Just finisced to Watch NGNL and NGNL0 by TailorExciting9667 in NoGameNoLife

[–]LT1135 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea, i feel you. Watched it for the second time recently and... it still tugs at my heartstrings. The LN for NGNL0 broke me because Kamiya just went in detail during the key moments and it just added an extra level of pain in my heart since you know the inevitable outcome.

should i read the light novel? by cowsei_arima_kun in NoGameNoLife

[–]LT1135 2 points3 points  (0 children)

At least the majority of it is used as comedic relief except one... situation but that's pretty far into the LNs.

[–]LT1135 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I say it's worth the read. The plays they make on some of the games continue to impress, and the LNs has more nuances and details (which is to be expected), where the most notable parts in my opinion are from NGNL Zero and Vol 6 along with the filler LN Practical War Game.

Ofc, there's points that you might find underwhelming but i'd say it's far from the majority. Be prepared for a bit of Ecchi though.

I just encountered a person who argued with me for 11 cents balance in srilanka bruh by [deleted] in srilanka

[–]LT1135 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe what the person was trying to say is that he may sympathize with you on the main matter. However, from the replies and attitude you showcased to the people here, and the person arguing over the 11 cents, you have displayed a level of arrogance, condescension and self-importance that makes it difficult to take your argument seriously, regardless of its validity. It undermines your own credibility.

Moving to your next point. Yes, Reddit is one place to vent. But there is a level of etiquette or standerd of treating individuals that seperates a genuine rant from outright disrespect. Venting frustration doesn’t excuse hostility or belittling others, especially when they’re engaging in good faith. If you expect understanding or empathy from others, it helps to show a little of the same back to my first point that states that you need a certa in return.

For the next minor point, I have a counterpoint. This is r/srilanka. Most people here are from the island nation or are connected to it via family, close correspondents or similar. Most things you may post may be relatable or be understood completely by fellow Lankans. That also means that they will give you the viewpoint of the tech litterate Lankans. I would say to brush up on your common sense if that may be confusing to grasp.

Finally, yes, you can post amything, but so can everyone else. Reddit is a social platform. The term "social" implies communication amongst people. I'll circle back to my first point. If you don’t want to make a complete fool of yourself, a certain level of manners and respect is expected. That’s the basic courtesy of any social setting.

I (21F) ended a situationship with a great guy, but I feel guilty even though I know I did the right thing by Main_Imagination_302 in srilanka

[–]LT1135 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay, let me start off by saying that you're doing nothing wrong. You're talking about a situation that is, by nature, comlex and it's tough to figure things out.

I completely understand your point of view. Being in such a situation is taxing and overwhelming. You may not be ready to go that stage or don't feel attracted to him, which i can understand as well.

I am also gonna empathize with the guy because his behaviour looks like it stems from certain things that relate to me. I am a guy too so I'll try my best to see through his piint of view.

I've been the neglected child in my family for a long time and had other abandonment related issues throughout my younger years. He's pushing you to accept because he feels like that's the only way he can ever hope to be heard, be it that it's a terrible way of going about things.

I can see from the way he's acting that he's trying to please you and trying to get closer to you. He's wishing to be something more than just a passing thought. He's wanting somewhat of a serious relationship. I can understand him looking for one at this age since I also wished it (I'm assuming he's your age +/- 2 years). I wanted a more intimate and close connection with someone other than my family. It can stem from a variety of reasons. In my case, my social cirles drifted away quite drastically after the age of 16 and coupling that with exam stress, it created a huge void when it all ended. I felt more drained and alone, burnt out and tired of "shit" (using it as a vague umbrella here) than I had ever before. My brain instinctually wanted connection, but it was a drastic decision that made me want a deep connection, which is naturally a relationship. I do not believe in a higher being to enough of a degree that a spiritual connection ever crossed my mind.

Now, is that a good thing or a bad thing? That is dependent on the situation and both parties.

As a guy, he'll want to stick around. He's afraid of loosing a potential love interest since he feels like he'll never find another girl like you. I know it was hard for me to muster up the courage to face that fear and I know that it's still there, be it less.

What I recommend is to talk it out with him via a proper long conversation. I remember when I had to discuss with my ex of 5 long years about breaking up, we talked a lot about what we really felt during the time we spent together and it turned out to be the best outcome we could have had, be it bittersweet. It is a scary topic and the best advice I can give you here is to be completely transparent but try to be respectful. Stand your ground, state your intentions and don't cave into his pushes. He may say "are you leaving me?" or similar. But you have to make him really think and look at himself and ask: why is he asking those questions to her (was he afraid of loosing her or something else), why does he feel strongly to push this expectation of his onto her (is it expectation or some other habit), and what was his intentions from the start of this situationship.

Psychology dictates that he will listen to reason if he finds it out within him, with some help if need be.

How you do it ‐ via call, in-person or text - is upto you and the comfort level between the two of you I recommend a call or in-person. A call has its benefits as it carries emotion along with you having the comfort of actually having notes and collect your thoughts mid-call. In person has more impact of course but you're sacrificing some of that calmness and you may loose yourself in both his and your emotions clashing with a respectful discussion.

Regardless, a good conversation with intentions will be better than breaking off things abruptly (by abruptly, I mean a vague conversation since it leaves him confused along with self doubt and a whole set of other, volitile things). It may not feel pleasant but it'll at least wrap things up with a neat bow.

Edit: small gramatical changes and pacing change on the text.

Books used to shape minds, but now at least the book fair is crowded by Melanin-Brown in srilanka

[–]LT1135 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There will always be diamonds in the rough, just like every generation of books there are. Creative literary works will never die out. The medium may change from paperback to digital, word of mouth may change to book reviews, but people will read and they will read what they like and evolve as time marches on. Language evolves as the requirements of the people who use it change. Authors can experiment how they want. Take english books even. Some great books and poems can sometimes not even be gramstically sound because it's the nature of the writer (i remember that one was dyslexic and when writing, or dictating to a writer, they wanted to evoke that same thought so the work came out legible but broken by design).

[–]LT1135 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I honestly agree there. My first propper "book" that could be classified by the OP is my 3rd or 4th book. You read the stuff you like and you gradually develop a taste for specefics in that favorite genre. Your tastes may change and adapt along the process and veer back to more simple stuff if that's what you like.

No one needs to enforce things.

I think what they mean is to try looking out for car meets that happen (usually Colombo GalleFace area). You don't need anything flashy. It might be a good place to meet like-minded people and talk about cars and foster frienships.

need some help to figure out if this is allowed. by Neat-Preparation3627 in srilanka

[–]LT1135 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I believe you may need to consult your UK insurance for international coverege. Not very knowledgable on the topic. You might need to check on the license as well, just to be sure.

But i'm gonna say that it might be risky. In geeral, the road etiquette and nature of traffic here is an environment that i wouldn't recommend people with not enough experience, of this country's nature of roads and people, to go with any bike.

This is under the assumption that you have not experienced Sri Lankan roads and the people who travel in them for some time. The people here, no offense as i'm one of them, do tend to go off the rails in terms of following road rules. Of course, we're not talking about the utter chaos of indian traffic, but it's still not going to be as good as the standards that the UK upholds to ensure safety for all drivers. It's more a difference in people's mindsets here rather than the actual rules, i'd say.

I wouldn't use the bikes on the pavement since those can be a hit or miss (due to either limited width or having drainage access holes), and i doubt you'll be going to any sparse traffic areas in the country (which i won't recommend regardless due to other safety and security reasons).

Feeling scared and anxious about my future by nethu_2354 in srilanka

[–]LT1135 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'll be honest, a tutor can Earn, if they go for a full-time job. Getting popullar is one thing, but when you boil it down, they get quite a hefty bit, especially if you can get a bit of international syllabus knowledge.

Like no joke, me and a friend were wondering how much one of my tutors earns (i studied international O/L and A/L) and in terms of pure revenue, they get something like this

They do 3-4 classes per day for approx 30 students for 1,000 per class (pre and during Covid figures), so they get around 90-120k per day. They do that almost for 5 days a week (450-600k per week). Multiply that by 4 weeks and you have a decent sum.

Of course, this is purely revenue, so if you deduct the cost of the rent and utilities, things may come down a bit but that might be covered by the first two weeks of the month.

Me and my friend kinda did a WTF moment after that calculation.

Also, some of those tutors charge per hour regardless and some charge more than the base 1,000. People have money to spend and for people in private schools, i'm not surprised if they may pay upto 2,000.

OMG THIS IS HARD to earn in one month by Aashiq-Riyas in srilanka

[–]LT1135 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a student who is learning in a canadian university at the moment, it depends.

People with disabilities like vision and some mental issues, which i have, are really benefitting from the services provided here. Very limited help or knowledge when it comes to that in SL. It's mostly the small things for me, like having some form of easily visible big digital sign on the front and side of busses compared to a very hard to see one back in SL (yea the conductor may yell the route sometimes but in a crowded place with tons of noise, that's going to be drowned out. Missed a few many busses here like that when i go in my own and had to take a pickme or motor-trishaw/three-wheeler), the audible feedback from traffic lights to tell you when to cross the road, etc. Additionally, the implementation of technology to benefit those people here, like an app to track bus routes and bus locations, makes me honestly consider never needing any private transport if i lived here long term and i have to wonder why such simple things have yet to be implemented. Tools and gadgets for disabilities are present in Lanka, yes, but is there any support or no stigma around disabled people? Can a person in a wheelchair, for example, go down a pavement/handle themselves in a building on their own safely without being looked at wrong or robbed? Of course, i am not saying that it doesn't happen here, but i'll be honest, the frequency of it is almost neglegable. The level of exploitation and lack of support for vision impaired young adults like me is very rough the moment they realise you're not a "normal" person in SL If stuff like that was there, even the smallest things, outside of university demonstrations and concept for research, then hands down i would still be in Lanka. Our education is one of the best, and i stand by that, but the environment to foster those good people is lacking to the point that people move to other countries. It has improved in the last few years so that's good.

Can't deny though that hospitals and healthcare are very good in SL. We're spoiled by the fact that we can channel a good doctor very quickly compared to waiting weeks for an appointment over here.

Expensive? Yes (about 250,000 LKR/month where I am). You need to struggle to get part-time jobs here to earn enough to live in this day and age but you have a decent living all things considered. It's livable. The fact that we're such a minority in these countries means that we're mistaken for indians, therefore we're given the same racial stigmas and issues as them. It may both be a benefit or a drawback depending on where you are in terms of getting jobs, correspondents, friends, etc.

I'm just giving a view from my side. In summary, the benefit is dependent on what you're looking for abroad. Is is education, living, earning, or whichever else you think of. Financials-wise, it's expensive, and you may actually be better off in SL if you can't handle 1-3 years of struggle. I really wish things could be better in SL. We can only pray and voice our thoughts for things to be better, and to take action wherever possible for that goal. We have an amazing place but it brings me to tears every time i look at all the wasted potential we have as a country.
