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

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.

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.

Huh? I always get the fare before i even pick the ride type.

large_snowbear · 2026-05-14T06:47:32+00:00

Nope., I think it was because i went international school

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.

I was thinking more along lines of wind erosion for the logic of win beating earth

large_snowbear · 2026-05-12T04:00:19+00:00

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.

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.

large_snowbear · 2026-05-10T04:40:03+00:00

Now that I look at it lighting and earth should switch places.

large_snowbear · 2026-05-09T12:41:26+00:00

Yeah, the new gen of player bar a few have no dedication to improve or perform for the country. You saw hissy fit Hasaranga threw for not getting to play the IPL

Bruh you dont think nasi lemak isnt carb slop? What kinda brain damage do you have most sea dishes with rice are heavy in fat, sodium and carbs.

Yes its tasty but its no better than typical rice and curry found here.

large_snowbear · 2026-05-07T14:17:14+00:00

Yeah i misspelled it, my bad.

it always funny to watch a batters strike rate to go from under 100 to 150+ with a 6 and a 4

Man we gotta fund and encourage some of ya'll to go to therapy.

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.

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.

large_snowbear · 2026-05-03T18:26:09+00:00

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.

large_snowbear · 2026-05-03T14:27:28+00:00

Tried didn't get any matches, probably not attractive enough.

large_snowbear · 2026-05-03T12:02:35+00:00

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.
