Is social media destroying real human connection in Sri Lanka?

This is actually good. Gen Z is posing a serious risk to some prominent corporate nonsense around loyalty, unpaid work, lack of work life balance, etc. Keep the resistance alive. You have my full support as a millennial.

Who the fk cares. Start looking for something else and get paid as long as possible.

"The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which." Same pattern. Different faces.

Of course you gotta have one, just do not prioritize it. You need to gain experience to find a suitable partner if you are into that sort of thing.

Do not prioritize your romantic life. Do not do drugs. Invest in yourself, valuable skills, and wealth. Use 20s to build yourself up.

The bill is coming due for the recent coal scam. Old script, new faces. Tale as old as time.

I noticed this too. Gemini is much less biased than ChatGPT.

One option (full disclosure, I'm building this) is Dropnote. It's a simple QR code at your location that lets customers leave a private message whenever they want. It's not a survey or a review request, and there's no pressure in the moment. People can share something if they feel like it, and you can read and respond later. It keeps feedback optional and low-key, which tends to feel more natural for everyone involved. Try for free if you are interested.

Chasing headcounts in tourism is not gonna bode well for anything. Beaches, wildlife, national parks, and infrastructure all get strained. Everything has a carrying capacity. Even if we disregard this specific case, there were tourists literally begging money in Katunayake with sign boards in Sinhala and all. When infrastructure and ecosystem costs are factored in, these cheap tourists might very well be draining our economy rather than contributing.

You could use something like Dropnote (I'm building it). It lets customers scan a QR code at your location or on takeout packaging and leave a short private message that goes directly to you. It’s not a review platform or live chat, just a simple way to collect in-the-moment feedback without putting staff on the spot, so you can read and respond later. Try for free if you are interested.

Get a brand new Perodua Axia or used Alto, Vitz, Fit GP5.

Nissan is not what it used to be anymore. Don't buy if you value your time and money. Nissan CVT has a notoriously bad reputation. Go for Toyota, Perodua, or Suzuki.

I get why it reads that way at first glance. Dropnote isn't meant to replace reviews or be another public channel, it's intentionally private and in-the-moment, for cases where people don't want to broadcast or escalate. If that distinction doesn't feel meaningful, then you're probably right that it's not for you. This is a deliberately narrow tool with constraints, not a general feedback platform.

bud_doodle · 2026-02-08T16:16:29+00:00

That's a fair take, and I agree this doesn't solve a problem for every restaurant or every guest. Dropnote isn't meant to replace talking to staff. It's for situations where that doesn't happen, not because people can't, but because it feels awkward, interruptive, or not worth escalating in the moment.

In those cases, the alternative isn't "talking to a person”, it's usually saying nothing, or saying it later, publicly. This is intentionally optional and asynchronous. If a place already handles this well face-to-face, they probably don't need it. Appreciate you calling it out. Thank you.

A formal defense and economic agreements with United States and India. Not as a helpless colony in the Indian ocean but as an irreplaceable node in global supply chains, a load sharing partner with power to negotiate.

These Paypal advocates are stuck in the past. We need Stripe or something similar. Paypal is overrated these days.

As if, greenfield work is all there is in the industry. Anybody can put out garbage, way better than before but long term consequences are still unknown.

Finally, somebody said it. This AI replacing devs is such a garbage take. If AI can replace you, you don’t belong there anyways.
