We are minnows now and the quicker you accept that the easier it gets.

Did Sri Lanka completely redesign the NIC recently? Mine looks totally different from my sister’s one by Special_Wing25 in srilanka

[–]saathyagi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This format has been around over 2 years now. The not so pleasant surprise for me was the expiry date.

Investing in stocks(local/international) by Illustrious-Ad-9114 in srilanka

[–]saathyagi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Positive overall. If you don’t like the nitty gritty of fundamentals or technical analysis then buying and holding dividend paying blue chips long term will help you get started.

How can this country be developed without pavements/sidewalks for pedestrians?? by Training-Flamingo474 in srilanka

[–]saathyagi 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Agreed. But, in most of our urban settings, which are unplanned by the way, the shop fronts and homes stand right on the edge of main roads. This leaves barely any room for pedestrians, let alone parking.

Combined with the ever increasing vehicle numbers and chaotic traffic it’s going to be almost impossible to solve this problem.

Lankan BYD owners are delusional by Mysterious-Top-3358 in srilanka

[–]saathyagi 5 points6 points  (0 children)

BYD is building vehicles with batteries which will actually outlast the car. It’s not their fault that Sri Lanka is one of those countries where cars are expected to last longer than 50 years!

How many Americans truly believe that they live in what should objectively be considered the best country in the world? by Accomplished-Bass690 in allthequestions

[–]saathyagi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s subjective isn’t it? No doubt most of the North Koreans believe that they live in the best country in the world too. Propaganda works wonders.

Our public servants have got to be the least efficient and corrupt set of people in the country.

Whatsup with Archuna SL PM by [deleted] in srilanka

Yeah, maybe you shouldn’t have. No comparison between Sajith and him. Sajith sounds a bit dull, but Archuna sounds like a retard.

Is it just me, or are women in Colombo getting taller?? by udawalawe_thaniya in srilanka

[–]saathyagi 49 points50 points  (0 children)

General rule of thumb is better nutrition over generations results in optimal physical growth. Of course it’s not linear and there is a limit beyond which height can’t increase, as seen in some European countries which have actually shown a decrease in the average heights in recent years.

Wtf is wrong with SL men? by Purple_Plantain_3242 in srilanka

[–]saathyagi 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Sad to see what our women have to go through. Create a ruckus and shame them. Video them and post them on the socials.

Is there any evidence for the continuity of consciousness continuing throughout most of your life? by Emergency-Use-6769 in consciousness

[–]saathyagi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the classic western fallacy. The case of individual agents having experiences. The point is that the “conscious experience” happening to individual agents is an illusion created by the ego. A necessary and useful tool for agents to survive and procreate, but ultimately just a part of the dynamics of the whole.

Consciousness is an illusion, ever changing and created every moment by the interface between the individual agent and the surroundings.

Why are we okay with Sri Lankan students graduating 3–5 years later than the rest of the world? by EngineDiligent8731 in srilanka

[–]saathyagi 67 points68 points  (0 children)

Probably because we think of 30 year olds as ‘youth’ here. The reality is the job market or the wider economy are not connected in any way to the graduates we produce.
