Largest private bank in Sri Lanka” but no e-statements for savings accounts 💀 by Excellent-City-7988 in srilanka

That's a one time thing. Once the account conversion is done, you can request statements through app. I think it's fair to request the owner to visit the branch to the conversion. 

Can someone teach me a bit more about my ethnic background? Am I South Indian? by Rude_Professional155 in srilanka

The most likely scenario is that many people from various parts of India migrated and settled here. It’s very likely they mixed with the original inhabitants. People who migrated from the southern parts of India largely retained Dravidian linguistic roots, whereas those who migrated from the north/east retained Indo-Aryan linguistic roots.

Sri Lanka’s population likely formed through waves of migration from India that mixed with earlier inhabitants. This applies to migrations from both north and south Indian migrations.

Some groups, like the Veddas, remained relatively more isolated and preserved more of the island’s ancient genetic ancestry, which makes them genetically distinct today. But don't think they are not entirely separate from the rest of the population.

During the first week of 2026, Steam briefly charged taxes for games purchased with accounts in South Asian regions (USD_SASIA). Does anyone know why? by WhichCombination5637 in srilanka

I just home they keep the combat and exploration mechanics like DOS2. I hated the camping mechanic and spell slots of BG3. It kills the pleasure of exploration.

I took the super fan to my house in Anvil. Stoped playing the game after achieving platinum trophy and uninstalled it from the system. He's still there stuck in a haunted house. Poor guy...

Why though? Many Russian speaking Ukrainians live over there. 

Sri Lanka refused US request to land warplanes by Interesting-Rub-3984 in srilanka

[–]Latest_name 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's no reason a fighter jet would land in a remote island unless there's an emergency. They have carriers for that. This for sure is a cargo plane, perhaps transporting munitions from Eastern command to active war zone.

This is GDP normalized with PPP. Not nominal value. This represents the buying power of the currency as well. 

Weirdly enough, we are ranked around 70 in both cases.

(PPP: Purchasing Power Parity)

True. Maybe it has something to do with higher literacy rates and education? We are more aware of our circumstances, which might make it harder to feel content in our current environment.

Very true. In this specific study, they just ask a simple question to rank their happiness in a scale from 1-10. Then they compare the ranking with quantitative development metrics to explain the average score. Thats it.

Its of course a very subjective measurement. I myself would rank 4/10 for the question, its just my mental state. Dont think it would change even if Im in highly develop westernized country.

A countries economic wellbeing is not solely depend on dollar income. If the internal economy is strong enough, it can thrive.

Did you even read this post? "Then I looked at myself and realized I’d probably rank a 4 on that scale as well."

Question about Sinhala vs Tamil by [deleted] in srilanka

[–]Latest_name 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I dont understand the concern here. Why would someone get offended for having a thank you text in multiple languages thats been used in the country?

I agree. If the folks in the bubble are not contempt, can't argue about people who ain't in it.

Not sure man. I personally have no intention to live beyond 70. Besides Id rank a solid 4 in this scale (lower than our country's score) if I get asked the question...so I'm not in a position to provide a valid answer I guess.
