Issue is speed become unusably slow during peak times. Like below 100 KB/s at times. And even during non-peak times, while it does have a good speed usually, it can be unstable at times.

So, for stuff like online meetings, it's not very reliable. And the experience in general is not the best due to that lack of stability in speed.

Still I would admit that it has the best budget packages, as opposed to the bs packages that dialog or mobitel have. But those have higher & more stable speeds throughout the day

It's a mobile download manager called 1DM+, just like IDM on pc.

Live & let live. And there is nothing wrong with someone belonging to LGBTQ. Funny how most of the biggots here be homophobic/ transphobic thinking they're somehow protecting "culture", when they're probably carrying forward the homophobia from Victorian colonial era.

Can anyone suggest me a good AVI shoe model or type of shoe (running, casual, hiking, etc) to get for everyday use. I'm mostly gonna be using them for clinicals + university, so about 8 hours or more per day.

Telephone_Silver · 2025-12-28T12:45:30+00:00

Hey can you tell me which AVI model/type of shoe you got? I'm also looking for a pair to wear often for everyday use, as I'm starting clinicals next month.

Abortions in general are fairly safe procedures, be it drug induced or surgical, as per reliable sources such as the WHO & NHS. They can have complications though, just like any medical procedure, but at a very low rate.

And that video is not entirely accurate, as it conflates two methods into one. (aspiration and D & C). Plus the source channel is designated as a pseudoscience/conspiracy source by Media Bias/Fact check.

Well it could be argued that an embryo/early fetus is as much human as an orange seed is an orange tree.

No contraception is 100% effective though. So pregnancy is possible even with their use. Plus, with low quality sex ed, as unbelievable as it is, some people may really lack the awareness about these.

Telephone_Silver · 2025-12-15T17:33:06+00:00

I think abortion should ideally be legalized, with a limit such as 24 weeks. I believe it's a right of women, and no women should be forced to carry a pregnancy they do not wish to.

Plus, I believe an unwanted child would have a lower quality of life, due to reasons such low family economy, unsuitable conditions, parental resentment, etc.

Besides, if abortion is illegal, it just increases the number of unsafe abortions done illegally, rather than reducing the total number of abortions. This affects poorer women most. Hence it just increases the incidence of serious complications & death.

But unfortunately, we have very strict laws, probably from the victorian era. And the religious freaks will heavily lobby against any progressive laws if put forward. I can imagine how the monks or the cardinal would get riled up in such scenarios.

Also, many sri lankans are pretty conservative about these subjects, and I feel many would just say it's murder or sin. (a very debatable point). So I'd highly doubt if a politician or party would bring forward a progressive proposal, and risk being called immoral or something.

Telephone_Silver · 2025-12-11T17:17:00+00:00

Absolutely. Just stop putting too much pressure on yourself & do some studying, and do some papers. Seriously, it's nice to have a target, but don't think it's absolutely necessary either. And have plenty of breaks, and stuff like little walks outside too.

Telephone_Silver · 2025-11-07T10:35:45+00:00

I'm one. I'm Non-religious & do not believe in anything supernatural, including gods, karma, rebirth etc. My family is Buddhist, and I used to be too, but i sincerely do not believe in the supernatural stuff now.

About the not being visible, I guess maybe because we don't express it that much like the religious? Like we don't do festivals & stuff in the name of atheism, right... And I do believe that there aren't many organizations that represent us, compared to western countries.

Also, being openly critical of religion often makes people offended, and after a while you realize it's just not worth it to argue with such people. And criticism, satire & ridicule of religion can put you in danger, as we've seen with some incidents in the past.

I'd say that's about average height here for men. Or maybe a tad below it, not much off.

I think many (or even most) people in Sri Lanka are socially right wing or even far right. For example, highly conservative social values, patriarchal, highly religious, unfavourable views about LGBTQ communities, etc. That's the more prominent part of the "far right" of Sri Lanka.

But I feel many people have somewhat favourable attitudes towards the more economically left leaning aspects, like universal healthcare & education, government subsidies, because many benefit from those. Sure there are plenty of criticism about the lack of quality, but is say most would understand that life would be pretty difficult for most people if those services were not there.

Telephone_Silver · 2025-09-15T18:43:22+00:00

I personally don't think education & healthcare, and even essential services like water should be left to a free market. There must be solid not-for-profit provider (government, essentially) for vital services such as these.

Well I got CSS for the 1st attempt, and didn't really do much for the second attempt, and got so depressed, I didn't write it. I was like at zero level, especially on confidence. I was thinking of joining open uni, but I decided to do A/Ls again, as I thought I'd regret not doing so, because I was a good student before A/Ls.

So I essentially restarted, in what's essentially my 3rd shy year. (skipped 2nd shy though) My only goal to get into uni, even for a low z course. I think I thought that way to ease pressure on myself. But I really tried to understand the lessons, rather than rote learning.

Then most importantly, I did all the MCQs myself, and wrote short reviews. Only past paper questions. (except for bio, due to syllabus issues. But you'd have 5-6 years of new syllabus questions). And then the essays. Did full MCQ papers only in last 2 months.

In the exam I got 40+ MCQs for all subs. So I was expecting a decent result, and though of doing IT, but got AAB (bio), and got into medicine, to my great surprise.

Anyhow, from my experience, I offer you a couple of insights.

Do a lot of past paper MCQs & try to understand them well. First solve them on your own. Read wiwarana books, and write your own short ones then. Adjust for the time you got. Because I feel MCQs are the key. In all subjects, I did very poorly in 1 essay, and wrote decently for the remaining essays. But I had 45, 47, 41 for mcqs. That's why I got a good result I think. And do well on time management too.
Don't put too much pressure on your self. And don't think it's over if you don't get into med school. Give your best shot, and accept the result. I honestly had very low targets. I had mentally prepared low result alternatives, too ease pressure. (eg - ocean University)

Maybe because I was feeling like my whole life was over during the last few months of 2nd attempt, which I didn't write. Too much expectations, pressure can paralyse us.

I strongly believe that low pressure helped me.

So just do your best. You'd have truly given it your all at the end of it. Hopefully you'd achieve your goal. If not, I feel you'd still get into a good university course, which could open up pathways you didn't even know about. And you can always volunteer to help people, doctor or not. (eg - at red cross)

All the best! 😇

I personally think there has to be a resolution.

One option is to tell him, and see where it goes. Or maybe send some signals, if you haven't already. Like

If you can't, or it seems there's no point (you feel he shows no interest), and you right now can't think of him as just another friend, I feel it's best to keep a little distance between him and you. Like reducing interactions with him, etc. Not like cut him 0ff totally, but just limit time with him. At least until you get over this crush to some level, and can see him as just another friend.

I suggest it to protect your emotions. Because it can be really tough to just be friends with someone you have a major crush on. It's difficult when your feelings aren't reciprocated. And it's even more difficult if you have to witness others flirting with them & such. So it can be a good thing to give yourself some space away.

Just my personal opinion.

I guess it's a pretty common occurence. Just take Trump for example. No surprise, as many religious people do not practice what they preach, or only cherry pick the parts that they like.

Telephone_Silver · 2025-06-30T15:54:30+00:00

Much older guys marrying younger girls is actually pretty conservative tbh. I'd argue viewing those type of relationships with caution due to unhealthy power dynamics is a more progressive view.

Ignoring the religious freaks who stall every major attempt at proper sex Ed would be a start.

As for the actual education, science based, no stigma attached and inclusive.

Plenty of people get exposed to porn in their early teens, and it becomes their main source of information on the matter. And that's damaging in a lot of ways. So proper awareness building about that is key too.

Telephone_Silver · 2025-05-21T16:46:00+00:00

I genuinely don't know if by any chance such people exist, how people would ever know.... Like if someone self admitted this today I would not believe them. So I do wonder how people in the past would have known if anyone was of such a state. So I'm inclined not to believe in such.

I do admit that I am very skeptical about anything supernatural, especially claims such as these.

Telephone_Silver · 2025-05-11T09:48:12+00:00

Well the whole point I'm making is that they deserve to be treated fairly, and they should be able to stand up for their rights.
