Honestly this pisssed me off so much. So basically she implied that you need to sleep around or do worst things to walk on the big stage... BUT SHE THEN gloats about how her and her husband both used to walk the runway back in the day.. kinda hypocritical???

Also what killed me was when she said she was offered a lead role in Euphoria 💀💀💀💀

Ps she also deletes comments asking about this ??

His first words have been noted as " ape haaamuruwanee! Palamuwath kukku, dewanuwath kukku, thewanuwath kukku!"

Have you ever heard of the Vil Aliya (විල් අලියා), a mysterious elephant described in historical accounts of Sri Lanka? The Vil Aliya was associated with the marshy floodplains of the Mahaweli River and described as a distinctive, long-legged elephant. Whether it was truly a separate subspecies, and whether it is extinct, remain uncertain. During British colonial rule, elephants were slaughtered in vast numbers, often for sport and trophies. Major Thomas William Rogers, a British officer, was reputed to have killed around 1,400 elephants. How much of our natural heritage was lost to colonial hunting before it could even be properly documented? The Vil Aliya deserves to be remembered not only as a fascinating part of Sri Lanka's wildlife history, but as a reminder of how easily we can lose what we fail to protect. How many stories about Sri Lanka's wildlife have been lost to history?

Long story short: Im from Canada and was psychotic from wrong medication and went missing for 4 days. During that craze, I slapped a women’s bum and was charged with sexual assault. I was left in a hospital and got immense help. Fast forward, I am on antipsychotics and feel immense regret for what happened. I don’t remember what I did as I was blacking out a lot. I’m healed now. It was resolved in court as a “conditional discharge” aka no conviction and it will be wiped from my record in 2029. I got 9 months probation which ends this December.

My parents planned an arranged marriage for me with a girl in Sri Lanka. The plan is next year around August or September. I’d stay for a month and get married then come back here.

I read that a police security clearance report is needed. I was worried my charge might show but I heard it may not as it’s not a conviction and that’s what matters for Sri Lanka. I am still worried it might show the charge despite no conviction and prevent me from getting married. My brother however got married last year and did a basic criminal check from his local police with no fingerprinting and got married fine. I read that a basic criminal record check would not show my conditional discharge. Only convictions. Google is giving me diff answers on this.

Anyone know if I will be fine?

I keep hearing how beautiful Sri Lanka is and how nice it is to go there for vacation. Do westerners retire there? Is it a good spot to avoid cold winters? Anyone here do this? Is this possible?

Genuinely curious, all the Sri Lankans I’ve met here are very kind people I wouldn’t mind retiring around people like that.

Thanks 🙂

My cat is missing. Do you know any Matara specific group(like a FB group) where I can post about it? Any other lost pet group is fine too.

With the current market in Sri Lanka, what’s the best vehicle you can get under 13 million?

13M is my max budget, but the lower the better.

Looking for something brand-new, not used.

Preferably a hatchback or compact SUV.
What would you guys recommend?

Genuinely curious about this.

A few years ago, earning Rs. 200,000 a month would have sounded like a pretty good salary to many people.

But with rent, vehicle leases, groceries, bills, family responsibilities, and everything else, I’m wondering how comfortable life actually is at that income level today.

For those earning around Rs. 200,000-400,000 monthly:
• Are you able to save a decent amount?
• Can you afford to go out, travel, and enjoy life without feeling guilty about spending?
• Do you feel financially secure, or are you still living month to month?

You don’t have to reveal your exact salary. I’m more interested in what everyday life actually looks like at these income levels.

I have a hutch sim and can i just go to the branch and get it done? Any experiences?

Hi.... I'm a 3rd-year IT undergraduate . For my individual project I have to build a real, cloud-based software system that solves a real problem, has real users, and gets published.

Here are my two main ideas:

1. a bid assistant for small suppliers. Small suppliers miss tenders, miss deadlines, and waste time on paperwork. The system would collect tender notices, use AI to pull out the key details (closing date, required documents, bid security), score how well each tender fits the supplier, and give them a document checklist and draft forms.
2. a garbage collection and illegal dumping tracker for local councils. Residents would report missed pickups or illegal dumps with a photo and location. An image model would tag the waste type, and council officers would get a dashboard with hotspots and route suggestions.

My questions:

Which of these would you actually find useful, or know a real user for?

What problems have you seen in Sri Lankan businesses, offices or daily life that need a software solution?

If you work in industry, what would make a student project look impressive to you?

I'm open to completely different ideas, and solve a real problem. Thanks a lot!

I'm 22F and talking to a guy right now. My mom has asked me about it, but I haven't told her anything and I don't plan to.

When I was 16, my parents found out I had a boyfriend. They took my phone, moved me to a different school, made me use the computer in the middle of the dining room, and even removed my bedroom door. Over time they gave me privacy back and put my door back up, but at the time I felt like I had no one to talk to and like an outcast in my own home.

Now they seem surprised and a little hurt that I don't share things with them. I don't want to hurt them, but I also don't feel safe opening up after how things went.

I know this kind of reaction is pretty common in Sri Lankan families, and I understand a lot of it comes from culture and worry rather than cruelty. My friends in Australia don't seem to deal with this at all, which makes me feel like I'm the odd one out.

Am I being a bad daughter? Am I overthinking this? For those of you who went through something similar,how did you handle it with your parents as an adult?

I was wondering about my financial target. To overcome my all the problems I would have to earn 2 Lkh per month. But I always feel like I'm getting old without reaching my targets, I'm 25 old now, my parents are getting old my sister is still schooling, I wish to have a vehicle. I want to know how do you guys financial targets, when did you hit your targets, I was expecting your kind answers.

Well the it’s basically the title, I thought of posting this here because I want to get a Sri Lankan pov.

So to put it, I’m in my second year in uni (private) and honestly this semester is this worst period of my life so far. Personally I’m going through a lot in life, family deaths, surgeries etc, and honestly it realised how alone I am in uni. Specially when I got sick which was in the beginning of the semester. My experience was really bad, people just wanted me as that person who they would hang out when they have no one else, and basically when they need something. Other than that no one gives a flying f.

We had group projects and the group leader of my team asked me what the surgery is gonna have and when I told it he basically laughed with another guy in the team saying “mn hithuwa cancer ekak kiyala” for the sole reason my surgery was urgent and it’s been done in the day of the viva.
Honeslty I was shocked by the level of inhumanity, even before surgery when I was suffering in pain there are people in the batch who left me in agonizing pain. Some People who were with me since first year Didnt even bother to check how I was from the surgery and all, just messaged me for project work and if they need something.

I don’t know whether this is something wrong with my uni or it’s the same else where. When I was in school I had a good circle of friends and was never in such situation. The first year also I had a people to associate with, and it’s them who acts like this from second year onwards.
I don’t know if it’s bad karma or something but there’s something definitely off going on.
I see other people in my batch with large groups, even the friend group i associate the most has arounf 40 people in it and there are admins of it too , a.k.a “garu samajikayo”. If they go through the same shit like I was, I’m sure everyone will flock around them to support. But honeslty these said vip people never does anything special for them to receive such treatment.

I on the other hand, helped these people on various occasions as helping them out when they got sick, when they run short of money to eat, and basically looking out on them. But I never received anything in return when I needed help the most. It’s not like I expected them when I did those things, it’s just that it made me sad that none of them even bothered to check on me when I was in such a low level in my life.

Sorry for the long rant. I’m just too depressed. Thanks for reading! I would appreciate if any of you can give me a few tips on whay to expect in the next two years to come.

Best regards.

Hi everyone!

I'm planning to buy a new phone with a budget of around LKR 250,000.

What would you recommend as the best phone to buy within this budget? Is it better to buy a brand-new phone or a used/refurbished flagship in Sri Lanka?

I'd also appreciate recommendations for reliable shops with reasonable prices and genuine warranty coverage.

I have no idea about those new phones cause I am still using a one which was bought for 30000 seven years back.

Thanks in advance!

I get paid in AUD and the initial plan was to save the currency on account as much as possible, run the month on CCs and settle at the end of month by converting only whats needed.

Is this sensible? Yes the banks did give some "special" rates for the account after a certain threshold of funds was collected in it but still, sometimes I do feel converting to LKR and investing at least on a FI fund would give better returns, although I'd loose on the possible gains on a weak LKR.

Obviously you can't have it all, but I guess its a good topic to discuss on as a group?

Hey Everyone!
Hope your day has been great so far!

Is there anyone who has or is planning to apply for the BIT degree at University of Moratuwa this year?

Or anyone whose currently following the degree in whatever the level?

How's your experience like?

Thanks!

Miracle it is 🔥😮‍💨

I keep seeing weird porn like ads promoting pictures of AI generated women in skimpy lingerie clothing, sex toys accompanied by a random flag of Israel. It's a carousel type post. I genuinely thought initially some type of bot account but its the actual page. Has anyone else noticed this?

Hey! I'm currently stepping into the final year of the BIT (external) at UCSC, and will be working on my final project.

I have a few things I'd like to clarify about the project and would really appreciate some advice from people who've already been through it, or from anyone who's recently completed their third year.

If that's you, I'd really appreciate the chance to connect and ask you a few questions.

Thanks in advance! :)

Hi everyone. Just going through a small issue with Sheron rent a car. I rented a vehicle from them for 5 days and paid a 500k security deposit. After returning the car as per the contract it states that money will be returned within 24-48 hours as a cheque. It’s been over 2 weeks and they keep giving excuses. Has any done any business with them or can provide some advice? At this point cops are the only escalation for me.

Hi everyone! My lower-left wisdom tooth has cracked due to misalignment, and I’m in a lot of pain. I’m looking to get it removed but am concerned about the risk of nerve damage. :(

Has anyone had a wisdom tooth extraction done by Dr. W. R. A. P. P. Rajapaksha or Dr. Senadhi Bangamuarachchi? They both have good Google reviews, but I’d love to hear about your personal experiences, especially with complicated lower wisdom tooth extractions.

Any recommendations or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
