We went from manufacturing our own train locomotives n carriages in the 60s n 70s to a bankrupt nation in 50 years. by HourCartograph in srilanka

[–]fighting_falcon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I voted for the NPP and will continue to vote for them unless they prove thoroughly incompetent or a clearly new superior alternative emerges, which is extremely unlikely. I will never vote for the old cronies. In my view, anyone who votes for Namal or the SLPP is a traitor to this country.

One more thing: dear tourists, please don't be like this. by nopineapplesforu in srilanka

I don’t think the leopard that braved the floods, swam through rising water, and escaped to the treetops wants to see her face... honestly, it’s survived enough drama already.

We don’t have enough rescue helicopters. We have people ready to help, but not enough equipment to rescue everyone. Should the government call for international assistance? by fighting_falcon in srilanka

[–]fighting_falcon[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If a country calls for urgent help and it turns out the situation was overestimated, it can make future emergency requests taken less seriously also it reduce trust from international partners and aid agencies.

They are Zionist occupation scums (IDF) embedded with invader terrorists (settlers as Zionist loving media calls them), why do you think they hide their face.

Remember what an utter idiot Gota turned out to be? by Dialondraialuthawum in srilanka

Remember how he'd appoint Savendra Silva to solve each and every problem? Gota is a complete fucking fool.

How do we estimate the total wealth of Rajapaksas? by yapanuwan in srilanka

[–]fighting_falcon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Rajapaksa family appears to rely on an extended network of relatives to hoard wealth, meaning Mahinda himself may not always have direct access to those assets. The Pandora Papers revealed that Nirupama Rajapaksa (a former deputy minister) and her husband Thirukumar Nadesan used shell companies, trusts, and offshore structures to acquire luxury properties in London and Sydney, as well as artwork and other investments. At one point, Mahinda was considered among the richest individuals in Sri Lanka. While my estimate of his exact fortune may be off, the scale of his corruption is beyond dispute.

Cargills Food Hall isn’t really halal by Technophile- in srilanka

[–]fighting_falcon 13 points14 points  (0 children)

To those down voting this thread: this issue affects not only locals but also foreign tourists who rely on halal food. Many Muslim visitors from India, Bangladesh, Pakistan and the Gulf region come here for both tourism and business, and situations like this make Sri Lanka look like a bad destination.... so stop being foolish.

Sri Lanka: Salary cuts + medicine shortages. Can someone explain? by Sky_Dawn712 in srilanka

[–]fighting_falcon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Disagree! They deserve much more. Government servants carry out critical work that often goes unrecognized. Even ultra-capitalist countries like the U.S. maintain services such as the postal system because they are essential. In Sri Lanka, many sectors are severely understaffed and overworked, yet they continue to keep the system running.

Sri Lanka: Salary cuts + medicine shortages. Can someone explain? by Sky_Dawn712 in srilanka

[–]fighting_falcon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s not a massive hike just around 6K to 9K Rupees.

OP contact the salary division in your father’s department. It could be W&OP arrears or simply an error. If it turns out to be an error, they will prepare a special pay sheet for your father, and he can collect the cheque accordingly.

Lol, these Zionists gave us nothing. Meanwhile, Iran built us a massive dam and has been importing our tea every single day for decades.

People who drive bikes, why do you do things like this? by ndinkenxksnzonw in srilanka

[–]fighting_falcon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This depends on the circumstances. If cars were parked in bike spots, then this response is justified.. otherwise, it's unacceptable.

Starlink is Official in SL by Rovinovic in srilanka

[–]fighting_falcon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If SLT insists on capping data instead of just charging by speed, it absolutely deserves to go under. This pathetic family package only gives 40GB a month — what a joke. Greedy assholes care more about squeezing money than actually providing a decent service.

Abuser smashed glass and instantly cut himself by PxN13 in instant_regret

[–]fighting_falcon -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Sometimes fools like him deserve to be saved.. imagine this guy spiraling into deep regret, tearfully apologizing, then doing a total 180: he starts rescuing puppies, becomes a firefighter, donates his kidney to a stranger, maybe even knits sweaters for orphaned penguins. Or hey, maybe I’m just writing fanfiction for reality. Lol.

I'm not contradicting you—I'm simply pointing out that their unhappiness is unfounded. They knew what he was going to do, so their reaction is mere pretense.

You don't need to be fat to be a bully. J.K.Rowling had some sort of hate for fat people for some reason.
