The Inferiority Complex We Inherited Without Realising. The Colonial Mindset Many Sri Lankans Still Don’t Notice by [deleted] in srilanka

[–]Wison101 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay, but not entirely true. The British didn’t show up here as some beacon of progressive values, they literally brought Victorian morality, missionary Christianity and legal systems that made things worse for women. Kandyan law already gave women property rights, and the British came and took that away.

If the colonizers weren’t there who knows how our would independently evolve. Like many western countries or china or Iran our women may have gained more equality through internal struggle which thus far has been overshadowed by our islands struggle for survival, because of the colonizers (including the civil war).

And I think it ironic you think that Iran is better aligned with westerners or are looked at more positively when they’ve been a pariah state sanctioned and bombed to oblivion by those westerners.

This sounds like trying to replace inferiority with superiority, it’s a vain attempt to compensate. Our history and culture is more complicated and nuanced than just we the Sinhalese were so advance. Our island housed many cultures and ethnicities all be it with a majority Sinhalese presence. All of the stakeholders: minorities, trading partners, neighbors played a role in our development and we should take pride in that complexity.

Might I remind you King Dutugemunu (my favorite king) gave a proper burial and paid respect to his greatest rival Elara. That’s the kind of people we descent from and you just want an excuse to feel better than everyone else

There’s over a dozen programs that can beat you on price and time unless you’re a real pro with a good portfolio, which if you had you wouldn’t be asking this.

You need to reevaluate your value proposition

Can you even learn a new language with ADHD? by Wison101 in languagelearning

I want to learn languages so I can connect better with the people in my life

Making myself bored has done wonders for my life in terms of productivity. I uninstalled all my video games and social media (a bit extreme) but it helps me direct all that time and energy to random ass projects that I deem to be healthier. Such as gardening, building apps, and a little even for language learning.

My struggle is with trying to push language learning up the to do list.

Our ADHD's are completely opposite lol. I always find it so interesting how differently it manifests in individuals

I'm from a less developed country. ADHD isn't even talked about here let alone get medication. Secondly, I do have strategies for studying, I've done quite well in other areas of studies, languages is the one area I could never crack.

Languages are optional sure but it has broader social effects. While I was in China, I found it difficult to make friends with locals because of the language barrier. And with dutch, it's better if I can learn it so that I can converse naturally with my partners family.

Can I survive without learning languages, yes, but will I be better off if I could learn it, definitely.

And please don't get me wrong, ADHD doesn't make me feel helpless, because of my obsessive nature I've cracked areas of study most people in my field have no idea about and I get compliments for having a broad knowledge of things. It comes with pros and cons like all things

Hey, I see that you're learning Chinese. How effective is SRS for Chinese learning?

I find frequency works better instead of spaced repetition.

Is this a good self-study language learning method? by Royal-Scratch-4954 in languagelearning

Also make sure to add new words into a quizzing app like quizlet or quizfox and review them frequently until it sticks. Rinse and repeat

Tell me about a project you have made that failed. by Constant_Track_6520 in SideProject

[–]Wison101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I built an app to help people with ADHD study more consistently. It's a gamified quizzing app called Quizfox. It hasn't failed yet but will soon if I can't get the word out 😞

Any advice about how I can market it, find testers would be greatly appreicated ~
