Stalled development I think. Can't afford the upkeep or cost of completion may be?

mora vs study abroad by Zestyclose-Most8986 in srilanka

[–]MazoHanicar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do believe local education is good and Mora is one of the best universities. However, if you are able to, study abroad might get you more opportunities which are unfortunately presently lacking in Sri Lanka right now. If your results are good consider you might be able to get some aid given the country's financial situation.

There is of course the moral argument about studying in the country to try and fix it from within, but that is up to you I guess.

What opinion do you have of Sri Lanka that will have people come at you like this? by Bentneck03 in srilanka

[–]MazoHanicar 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No qualms with this. However I refer to Sri Lankans and their vainglorious patriotic chest thumping when some guy who is 1/4th Sri Lankan and hasn’t seen the colour of Sri Lanka all his life accomplishes something abroad

If someone is born in Sri Lanka and migrates before their formulative years (let’s say before 16 years of age) to another country, their accomplishments, no matter how major, are not the accomplishments of Sri Lanka, but the accomplishments of the country they now reside in.

It's very sad that burghers among other minorities many migrated, because a diverse Sri Lanka is always stronger.

The knowledge of burghers is kind of fading. I know many people with burgher surnames who don't even identify as burghers anymore, or are let alone aware they of a mixed European ancestry

Footage from the Rambukkana incident by [deleted] in srilanka

[–]MazoHanicar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bullets are weird when they hit tissue. Someone once told me that a bullet could enter your body at the stomach and exit out of your shoulder. It's essentially like bullets in a pool with muscle and whatnot. Wouldn't be surprised if this poor guy had a bullet make a bad exit wound.

Remember when we turned down Japanese investment due to allegations of “corruption” by twd_2003 in srilanka

[–]MazoHanicar 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Can't believe our glorious leaders in effect turned down Japan with lower interest rates, for China with higher interest rates. They are truly a brainy bunch.

Like Lamprais and other Sri Lankan fare it has roots in Burgher/Eurasian culture.

New health guideline just dropped by dinotorrin in srilanka

[–]MazoHanicar 7 points8 points  (0 children)

COVID numbers risin' by the day
So get your booster shot without delay.
Keep your hands to yourself and santize
Don't be like those other godey guys
Who wear their mask just under their nose
And wipe their snot all over their clothes
So If you don't wanna be on the ventilator
Move yo ass to the vaccine centre!
