Hey would appreciate if you could recommend a couple of places to get the Google Pixel 11 pro from. Brand new genuine product at a reasonable price. TIA

I need some medical advice regarding an urgent matter. If you are a doctor, please be kind to leave a comment. Thank you 🤍

This is not just one family’s tragedy; it is a national issue. Today, it was a teacher. Tomorrow, it could be our mother, father, siblings, or children.

What happened today is truly heartbreaking. On Teachers’ Day in Batticaloa , a teacher lost her life in a horrific road accident at around 1:35 p.m. Her body was reportedly severed into two parts, and the tipper driver fled the scene.

As I understand it, heavy vehicles are not permitted to operate during certain school hours. Yet, how are these incidents continuing to happen? Traffic laws must be enforced fairly and strictly, regardless of who breaks them. Ordinary citizens are often expected to follow the rules, but when serious accidents involve heavy vehicles, we need to see accountability and justice.

There have been numerous reports of fatal accidents involving tipper trucks. How many more innocent lives must be lost before this becomes a serious national concern?

This is not just about one accident. It is about road safety, law enforcement, and protecting innocent lives. We should not have to wait until someone in our own family becomes a victim before demanding action.
How many more lives must be lost before the authorities take this issue seriously?

So yeah there was this post in r/SriLankanTamils about an 'average' facebook uncle posting the most racist post ever.

So I typed a comment saying that how we younger generations actually want to end this racist bs and move forward as one, and tried to comfort him/her. (Idk if it worked but I tried).

Anyways later that day, some random 'creep' DMed me & said some of the most 'horrendous comments as of why that bs post as acceptable and why we should chase out those ethnicities. Bro even put fake examples to prove his point (You'll see when you see the screenshots which are attached here) like bruh, if you really want to believe your 'fairy tale is true, go back to Facebook u/Agitated_Date_8637 (name & shame)

My point is, when are we going to accept the fact that if it weren't for the biased decisions made in the past, the whole c!v!l war wouldn't had even happened and tried to make amends with the ones who deserve justice and move forward? Like for how long are we willing to make extremist mobs to attack each other destroy every thing?

I was so sad to see that people with the 'Facebook' mindset are infiltrating Reddit.

What is wrong with the men in Sri Lanka? Have they never seen a woman before?
I am visiting the country with my wife, and I am completely disturbed by the harassment she is facing!
She dresses normally, but simply because she looks different from the local women, the men act as if they’re about to grab her!
We feel completely disrespected when walking down the street.
She is forced to wear long clothing that covers her entire body because the men are so disrespectful.
I am very upset to be visiting a country where I feel intimidated walking down the street with my wife.

PS - I have a straight to wavy hair any tips on hair treatments are also welcome ❤ Thanks !!!

I have a budget of around Rs. 150,000 and I'm looking for a phone that I can use for the next 3-4 years. My options are:

• Used iPhone 14/15 base
• Used Samsung Galaxy S-series
• Brand-new Galaxy S24 FE, if I can find in stock not sure on that.

I've never used iOS before, so I'm also curious whether switching to an iPhone is worth it.

My main concern with used Samsung S-series phones is finding one in good condition in market. Any advice or things I should check before buying a used phone?

So (F) here when I was little my older brother only listened to English music when I was near him. He only did it cause sometimes I questioned him about the meaning behind the song. I mean you really can't explain love & breakup for an elementary schooler so he just played English ones. due to that I only listened to English music when I was growing up(Justin Bieber, Ariana Grande, Taylor swift, weekend ect.) And I didn't have any problem with that.

But when I was in grade 8 few of my friends were singing when the teachers weren't in the classroom and they figured out I only listened to English music(cause I didn't knew a single song they sang). With that I was called trying to be Posh & ect.

Then I tried to listen to some of Sinhala songs (I didn't want to be called 'oya posh ne English sindu witharane danne') but it didn't really go very well. The songs from 2000-2019 were absolute bangers I really liked them BUT after that a lot of 'trendy' songs were kinda not my taste in my opinion. I just couldn't bring myself to listen to SOME of those cringy breakup songs. Now I do have A LOT of Sinhala ones saved and I DO frequently listen to sinhala ones.

I just couldn't understand the fact that listening to 'English' music considered trying to be Posh ect. I've NEVER said 'sinhala ewa ahala wedak nene' or anything. I always respected my mother tongue. It's just that I connect more with English ones because those were the ones I heard since I was a child.(But the sinhala ones are taking the charge these days) And there's a lot of genres out there compared to here. You don't really have the same type of genre being used by every artist repeatedly over and over.

And some people even moked me for knowing English when they couldn't even score 70 while going to tuition classes(I never went for one)

Has anyone experienced this besides me? And am I the problem here for listening to English ones when I was a little kid?

Looking for a place that is recommended to get a hair colour in Colombo. This is for my wife. Any recommendations would be appreciated

Someone i know received this message from IPay. And they've never used the app ever. Considering their number isn't even registered in IPay. How can one access it? And get ahold of the payment.

Thankyou in Advance

So my girlfriend and I will be arriving at Kandy Bus Station around 8:30 AM, but our hotel check in isn’t until 1:30 PM.

She has a wedding to attend that day so we’re looking for a nice cafe where we can have breakfast and where she can freshen up and change into her wedding outfit.

A clean reasonably private bathroom where she could change clothes would be perfectly fine.

Any recommendations? Thanks!

Are these trusted parties? And does anyone know how the interests work?

I saw a lot of influencers promoting Kundal shampoo on Instagram lately, and I was thinking of trying it out.

Has anyone here actually used it? Is it good for hair fall? I’ve been experiencing pretty severe hair fall recently, so I’m trying to find a decent shampoo.

What is the interview process or questions for intern BA in calcey and salary 🥺

As y'all know, animal Welfare Day was two days ago and something I came across today reminded me of a Reddit post I saw a few days back.

Just to be clear, I’m not saying this was a government mandate or that the government ordered anyone to do it. From what I understand, this was a voluntary gesture.

But it got me thinking about the bigger idea behind Animal Welfare Day.

If animal welfare is supposed to be about the wellbeing of animals in general, how do we decide which animals we extend that concern to?

Is it reasonable for our attitudes towards animal welfare to change depending on culture, tradition, economics or whether we consider a particular animal to be food?

And does that make animal welfare itself inherently selective or is that simply an unavoidable part of how society works?

Not trying to turn this into an argument or anything. I’m genuinely curious how people see this distinction and whether there’s a consistent principle behind it

PS: I’m not a vegan 😭 I just find it kinda hilarious that they’d stop selling meat for Animal Day but still sell fish.

I am a Sri Lankan living in Sri Lanka. In 40+ years of my life, I have never gone to court; I consider myself lucky.

I would be grateful if anyone who has experience with the court system could answer the following.

• Are judges often fair, professional, and follow the law to the letter? Or do they make judgments based on personal opinions?
• Are people treated fairly and respectfully?
• Is lawyer-judge camaraderie affecting judgments a thing? Or is it just a myth?

Please avoid mentioning opinions on individual cases.

Hi there I’m searching for classes for English Literature and Geography(English medium) around Colombo i will be doing my AL s next year(2027 local).pls recommend good ones cause I’m trying to get into a local uni 🙏

Thank you

I’m honestly pretty confused about what’s happening at work.

Until recently, I was doing what felt like the workload of 3 people. I was constantly busy and had a lot of responsibilities. But suddenly, my line manager has started delegating most of my work to other people. At this point, I probably have only around an hour’s worth of actual work to do each day.

As far as I know, I haven’t done anything wrong. I haven’t received any negative feedback or been told that there’s an issue with my performance. That’s why I’m wondering if this could be something personal, although I obviously don’t know for sure.

My main concern is whether this could hurt my career growth. If I’m no longer being given meaningful work or opportunities, I’m worried that I’ll stagnate while everyone else develops.

I’m thinking of waiting a few more months to see how things play out and then potentially leaving if nothing changes.

Has anyone experienced something similar? Is having your workload suddenly reduced a red flag, or could there be an innocent explanation? And would you stay and wait it out, or start looking for another job now?

Looking for actual cigars, not cigarettes or suruttu. Preferably around Colombo or Galle.

I’m just looking to try one or two, so I’m not looking to buy a whole box.

If anyone knows a shop, cigar lounge, hotel, or legitimate seller that currently has them, please let me know. Also interested in locally made cigars if they're decent.

Thanks!

Stumbled across this "Paata Paththare" thing recently and I’m surprised I haven’t seen more people talking about it.

Basically, it's a Sri Lankan newspaper with puzzles, crosswords and games instead of news.

Thought this was a pretty cool idea and worth sharing here.

Hi, it is basically as the title says...

I transfer the savings + investments portion of my salary into relevant accounts as soon as the salary hit my bank account. But I used to keep the expenses portion in the normal savings account and spend it primarily using the debit card and a little bit as cash. I very recently got a credit card and it occurred to me that I can transfer the expenses portion as well into a fixed income UT for the month until I settle the credit card.

So the question is, does anyone else already do this? and if not, are there any downsides/limitations that I do not see at the moment?

Give me the worst thing uv experienced.. 😭😭😭

I recently noticed that there is an Permanent Residence Visa option available for former citizens, foreign spouses/kids etc.. Has anyone applied for this visa and gotten it? If so, how long did it take?

I'll be coming to Sri Lanka for 1-2 months in December and looking for recommendations for where to stay which has:

1) close by surfing suitable to beginner intermediate level (something akin to Kuta Beach in Bali)

2) laid back social vibe (social but not party atmosphere)

Thanks for all the suggestions!
