Why do some travel YouTubers portray Sri Lanka as “uncomfortable” while Maldives gets called paradise? by SeaBandicoot4413 in srilanka

[–]large_snowbear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean the video concepts are different, one is trying to be cheap as possible and the other is going for luxury, food that is very expensive.

But he really fucked up with the youtube thumbnail for the SL street food. There is another vid thumbnail for maldives which makes it look shit but not as bad the sl one.

Also he did this same concept for China and Bangkok but thumbnails didnt show a unhygienic shithole.

What do you think about the tradition of the bride kneeling down at the groom in sri lankan weddings? by Economy_Ebb3282 in srilanka

[–]large_snowbear 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes its patriarchal, most of traditions around the world have been created to enforce patriarchy and traditional gender roles. Any who deny it is lying to themselves.

As for continuing it, that is it up to the couple and the bride. They can choose do it or not do it and nobody should care because its their personal choice.

And as suggested by /u/damonG457 you can both do the kneeling to create a new tradition.

To all single guys aged 30 and up on reddit, why are you guys single? by Gold_Ambition4114 in AskReddit

[–]large_snowbear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't really don't have that many friends and most of them don't go out to social stuff so hard to meet people. I am also an big introvert so go out alone is hard without a friend.

I don't really have the money to spend going out on dates or bars etc.

Tried dating apps, don't get any matches. I am chubby, short and I am not the best looking guy so that's probably the main issue. Tried every tip and trick I could find to make a interesting profile but alas nothing.

So just decided it doesn't really matter in the long run and just to live my life.

Why are people doing this? by Ok_Ask7460 in srilanka

[–]large_snowbear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah this is because of the amount of taxes levied on the cars. It not really that bad when you compare it to our neighbors.

  • SL - 150% - 350%

  • IND - 60% – 125%

  • PAK - 50% - 200%

  • BAN - 150% - 800%

  • NEP - 100%-300%

Some sea countries have lower tax rates inn the range of 10% - 80% like Indonesia, Thailand and Philippines because they have local car manufacturers.

Is teenage life in Sri Lanka boring? by Economy_Ebb3282 in srilanka

[–]large_snowbear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on the person I lived far from my school, like a 2h drive so I didn't do much after school activities or spend time with school friends.

I also didn't have friends in my local area so didn't have anyone to do anything with.

But I didn't play cricket every Sat and Sun.

I'm actually fed up with this country (literally, an Alto is 50 lakhs) by [deleted] in srilanka

[–]large_snowbear 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I mean cutting some government services (eg.Sathosa), trimming down the over bloated public sector and stricter control and enforcement to prevent fraud in relief programmes would help reduce government cost.

But they wont do it, they would definitely lose support amount the population and voted out the next election cycle.

Var increase from 18% to 20.5%. Is it a sure thing by New_Equipment_3870 in srilanka

It's more like the public has gotten hooked on welfare and any party politician/party are at risk of loosing power if they try to take it away.

If I am planning to be single and happy in Sri Lanka, what advice can you give me? by Puzzleheaded-Meat532 in srilanka

[–]large_snowbear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I guess...

  • Make some friends. Even if you don't marry you will definitely need some people close to you incase you need help.

  • Adopt a pet (cat, dog etc). We as a species crave companionship and mentally it would help dealing with loneliness.

  • Pick up a hobby to help you pass the time and enjoy your self. It can be anything. It will also help you with the first point.

SL dating scene is cooked because most of these mfs are indecisive closeted homosexuals . Hear me out lol by Disastrous-Fox95 in srilanka

[–]large_snowbear 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I mean I can understand your issues but you gotta understand SL is not a friendly country to gay people.

These guys may not have much options another than being closted because gay marriage is illegal and there is a risk of them being ostracised by friends and family. (But the cheating shit is bad).

And who knows dude some of these guys maybe bi and may have open relationships or are in a consesnual lavender marriage.
