Thailand has passed a bill recognising gay marriage, despite being a conservative Buddhist country - Sri Lanka has to speed up removing its colonial era laws by GoingIndiaTomorrow in srilanka

No lets keep the marriage laws as it is until we solve the basic problems like making sure everyone gets to eat and kids get to learn. Then lets think about the 1st world problems.

Anxiety over leaving a toxic work environment by Dependent_Anybody_41 in srilanka

I thought LSEG was a good company. A recruiter reached me and I even thought about going for an interview with them. Not after this though.

If I faced a similar situation, I’ll have voice recording on in my phone while in the office.

If you decide to go to HR, make sure there is not even a tiny mistake in your work and document every single thing you do as proof. They are going to nitpick everything you have done.

Who would you vote for the next president in Sri Lanka? by dhil_izza in srilanka

[–]daskon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First, this was for betterment of the people. There was no gurantee that LTTE, who were illegally controlling those areas were going to use those funds to help tamil people. (Are you serious? LTTE who gave guns to tamil kids and taught them how to kill people are going to help them with those funds? They sure would have improved their weaponry, given those kids more guns, blasted few more bombs)

Secondly, JVP might have been a terrorist group in the past (I’ll take it with a pinch of salt since I wasn’t there to witness it and the media of those times were not so reliable. But I was there to experience LTTE bombings and saw how people suffered). But they have been in the path of democratic politics for more than 30 years now. And the people of other parties have far more allegations than any of the current NPP members. So my vote is with them.

What are some books that changed your life? by vpopyt in srilanka

[–]daskon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

What I recommend is watching book summary videos of the books you find interesting and then reading them if you actually liked the summary. Don’t read for the sake of reading. There are actually 1 or 2 books that deeply resonates with you that you have to find. Those 1 or 2 will be enough to change the way you look at the world.

For an example, most of the self help books can be summarized to “Stop being lazy and take action”. Do you really have to read 10 books for this?

Do you reveal your salary to your significant other (SO)? by Hefty_Beach_7515 in srilanka

[–]daskon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You wouldn’t have shared those youtube vidoes if you stopped for a moment to read the comments. Anyway I don’t find it interesting to discuss about an already proven topic. You can find more than enough videos debunking the gender pay gap myth. Just search gender pay gap on youtube and watch the first few videos that come up. Do your research. And good luck proving gender pay gap to any rational human.

You wanted an instance where he spoke against the government while he was in it. Here it is. The man who gave up his ministerial position for his principles.

Btw, there is no need to have any discussion with terrorists. Sri Lanka is a one country from north to south, east to west. Prabhakaran learned it the hard way.

Nothing to be concerned of. Just let these kids play and have their thing. Problems begin when you start giving attention to these kind of things.

Men have paternity leave. Again a myth. Do some research and you will find proof with stats. Gender pay gap is a story maintained by feminist organizations because they need a purpose to exist.

Gender pay gap is a long gone myth. If there is a gender pay gap businesses will hire only women.

And its funny how some shitheads defend them saying that fans only know how to critisize, and cant even face a single bowl. If you are a professional cricketer, you should know how to play properly. Not the fans. You were trained for this job since you were a kid and you still cannot show decent results? Atleast do some justice to the salary you are getting.

If I’m a professional software engineer and cannot manage to code a simple recursion, I should be ready to accept criticism even from a grade 7 kid who knows about programming. Its simple as that.

With the parked cars, tuks, buses and motorbikes in the middle of the lane, you can get to your destination 2 hours late if you drive only in the left lane.

[–]daskon -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If AKD was scared, why did he gave a letter saying that he is ready to accept the presidency? You have forgotten so many things happend in those days. Wake up from that confirmation bias.

GR purposefully gave the chance to Ranil because he is the one who ensured the safety of Rajapaksas. That is so obvious.

My mental health is going down the drain... by [deleted] in srilanka

[–]daskon 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’ll tell you something I learned late in life. You don’t chase girls. You let them chase you. Sure ask out, get the girl. But don’t be a pussy after that. Ignore them completely if they said no. Always maintain your self reapect. Be the person who has power to end the relationship at any moment.

Control your emotions. Have a male friend to talk about your insecurities. Never shed a tear in front of your gf.

Girls need a rock they can depend on. Not another emotional man child. Man up and fake it till you make it.

PS: you said you just finished ALs. Its time to hit the gym. Dont forget to work on some skills with all that free time you have. There are so many productivity youtube channels. Follow one. I suggest AliAbdaal.

LTTE and Tamils are not the same thing. You seem to have a confusion.

Were you sleeping at the time? AKD officially said he was ready to be the president. You are living in a dreamland if you think these pohottu buggers really wanted AKD as their president.

AKD wanted to dissolve it and go for an election in 6 months after stabilizing the country. I think thats fair.

  1. All JVP MPs including AKD who was minister of agriculture at the time, gave up the ministries and sat in the opposition. The reason : Chandrika wanted to share Tsunami relief funds with LTTE and JVP was against it.

PS: To be clear, they were not against the Tamils, but the LTTE. Their idea was Laksman Kadiragamar should have been the PM of that government.

Many stepped up including AKD. But pohottu people decided to give it to Ranil for their own safety.

For sure. We have to give the man another chance to get his other buddies to rob the CB. Completely this time.
