Guys (and girls), I was going through reddit posts and the number of issues that 100% should be raised at a restaurant/ shop/ consumer affairs authority etc. Don't ya'll do that?

Restaurants/ eateries not displaying the real prices on the menu/ display, displaying a price but charging a different price with no previous indication, inedible/ wrongly packed food etc.

As paying customers, we don't have to tolerate crap like this.

Issues like bullying, abuse in work places, schools, homes, please complain to the authorities.

Even things like pvt hospitals suddenly changing the bill to increase the price if you say you are paying through insurance, always ask for a detailed breakdown.

Bus conductors/ shops either not giving change, or giving toffees in place of change, would they take toffees from us?

Please don't be afraid to complain, raise issues, question and loudly make a scene. We are already paying through the nose for so many daily things. And please don't say there's no point. There is. If we refuse to tolerate crap, they have to do something about it. We are given crap because we quietly tolerate it, and they just keep making things worse.

Also I don't mean be a bully and make everyone else around uncomfortable, no you can be polite and question things. That's a right we have.

I've tried gochjang, miso, kimchi, curd/ yoghurt and home made fermented tomatoes (which I found too salty). Not sure I like any of it and was wondering what others might like.

I am so confused and trying to understand. Sticky rice has that clumpy character, right?

I can't speak for all grains of rice but where I live (Sri Lanka) we commonly have a local rice called 'kekulu', a short grained rice. The white variant of this (called 'sudu kekulu'), when it's overcooked, is very much like sticky rice!

Online recipes and guides for making sticky rice specifically calls for glutinous East Asian rice grains. I was interested and tried some, and I cannot really tell the difference between the two.

My favourite is 'vehilihiniyo udin piyabanawanam wahinawa' (if the swifts are flying higher up, it'll rain). It seems to be true as I have noticed them flying higher up when it's cloudy.

TLDR: M38 and F35 in a long distance relationship, but the male doesn't seem to be all present.

I was in love with him for a long time and still do feel attracted to and love him. I still don't know how he feels about me. He has said he loves me. Is affectionate when we meet. Has done nice things for me, been there for me etc. We have known each other a long time. But never had a proper relationship as such because while we were in the same country we lived far. About 5 years ago, he left the country for financial reasons so we have pretty much been long-distance.

I have tried my best to keep in touch and have told him that if he finds it difficult to do long distance/ different time zones and wants to break up and date people there, it's okay but to please tell me. He never has. I know it's not easy where he is currently and he sends money back home to look after his elderly parents etc.

But over the years I have noticed this pattern where if I don't actively reach out to him, he doesn't talk to me. I've already addressed these things with him. But idk. He was ill over the last two weeks so I knew he wasn't able to communicate much, but I kept checking in with him to make sure he is okay. He was getting better last week.

I was feeling tired from stuff happening in my life and didn't keep texting him from Sunday. So for the last 4 days, he did not say anything to me and finally today, I texted and asked him how he is. He then shared that yesterday he went out on a hike with some friends. And I just feel annoyed and resentful because ... he did not share any of that with me until I asked him how he was.

When I have said we'll go our separate ways, he won't agree to that but I feel like he gives me no real accountability either. I haven't much experience with serious relationships and haven't wanted to be a nagging, overbearing partner but I'm not sure what this is anymore.

We all know it's getting out of hand and most people don't label ai content as ai. Which ideally, they should and hopefully be required by law in the future. But in the meantime, isn't having an option to report and take down content that is not properly labelled as ai, a good thing? the number of people (not even just elderly), who gets tricked by these are just crazy now

I had fruit cake and butter cake from them for the first time and they were actually good! the butter cake didn't have a lot of butter taste but it was a soft, moist nice cake not dry or stale with gross aftertaste.

The fruit cake was also soft and moist with a generous mix of dry fruit. I'd say it's better than certain more expensive brands. Was surprised at how each mouthful was filled with fruit.

I have always heard people bad mouth it and feel it's just to fit in or something

Fellow Sri Lankans, tell me about this? I don't really see Sri Lankan families really hanging out and doing activities except certain communities. When I thought about it, my parents aren't big on going out but like to just stay at home and watch TV :/ and it makes me a little sad and I wonder what other families do.

Do you get together and go explore places, picnic, make things, do some activity?
