Protest held in Hiriketiya calling for removal of Chabad House

Chabad Houe is basically a Jewish worship place (I had to google it). I agree with the local, we don't need another religion to segregate us.

Foreign tourist told to f off by a local

Is the tide turning against the tourists? also, if you going to say something, stand there and back it up instead of running away like a coward.

For the couples who train BJJ, do you train at the same gym or different?

I have been training for a while and my fiance picked up bjj two years ago, she's a bit inconsistent with injuries and stuff but she really enjoys it and trains twice a week when she can. We both live in different cities and train at different schools. She is moving in with me in few months, so thinking about joining my gym. The think is my gym is very expensive and it be two expensive for both of us to pay for membership and it's not worth it for her since she only trains 2-3 times max a week.

I'm thinking of leaving my gym and join a less expensive school so we both can train together, also part of me thinks I should keep the bjj separate, so it will give a healthy outlet for our hobbies to be separate. Anyone else has had this dilemma? do you train at the same gym as your partner or different?

Most of the South Asian men have no game

Went to a south indian music event at a night club with my gf and her two female friends. There was this SA guys standing in the corner with a glass of drink in their hand and not even dancing, just staring. So many guys came and stood around my gf and her friends, trying to get their attention. Even after they clearly showed no sign of interest, they just stood their being creeps. Man, if you are interested in a girl, go talk and try to dance. If she said no, just move on. Don't just stand there like retard. Worst, ones are that don't even try talk or dance but just stand around the orbit. Few guys stayed next to us until the end of the night, thinking, somehow these girl (my gf's friends) will be drunk enough to change their mind. I wonder how these guys behave with the non desis.

Do better, learn some basic game so you don't embarrass yourself.

Where are you 30+ folks watching the game today?

I'd like to go and watch it in the local, but it's a 30 mins walk and it be almost 1 when we come back. Kinda want to just watch it at home and be lazy but also don't want to miss on the fun.

This is so stupid and overreach of police powers

Unless you wear a noise cancelling headphone, you can hear all the noises and honking clearly. Now, I can't go for a walk while listening to a podcast?

How is the 'No locals allowed' situation right now?

I remember last time when I went to downsouth few years ago with just guy friends, we were not allowed in some places saying its full, even though foreign white tourists were allowed. Another night club was charging locals 5k while letting white tourists in for we.

This time, I'm going with my fiance, I'm wondering if things have gotten better since we are getting a lot of Indian tourists? or it got worse?

Continue to be in relationship with my "good enough" girlfriend or leave?

I have been with my current gf for around 8 months now. She is very sweet, kind and she also apologises sometimes after any argument even when it's not her fault. But the only issue is she is not physically my type. She is a little over weight and does not carry her weight well. I'm very active and in great shape, she started going to gym and lost a bunch of weight, but she has long way to go. The problem is sometimes I have to nag her to go gym and not eat junk food. She is going in the right direction but it feels like its very slow progress.

I'm torn if i should stay or break things off with her. I know breaking up later down the line will be even harder for both of us. What made me stay with. her all this time is her personality, I know i may sound shallow but I believe physical attraction as important as personality. As anyone been in this situation?

Chemmani Mass Grave Reaches 327 - Could It Become Sri Lanka's Largest?

The Chemmani mass grave excavation has now identified 327 human skeletons, with 311 fully exhumed, including 8 infants in the latest phase.

This brings renewed attention to a 1998 testimony by Sri Lankan Army Lance Corporal Somaratne Rajapakse, who alleged that 300–400 bodies were buried at Chemmani. He later assisted investigators in identifying alleged burial sites, and Amnesty International reported concerns for his safety following his testimony.

(Source: Amnesty International, ASA 37/016/1999 — https://www.amnesty.org/en/documents/asa37/016/1999/en/)

Chemmani is currently considered Sri Lanka’s second-largest mass grave, behind Mannar (\\\~376 remains). If current excavations surpass that number, Chemmani could become the largest mass grave discovered in Sri Lanka.

What’s striking is how closely the current findings are aligning with the original 1998 allegation.

327 found and counting. The excavation is still ongoing.

The remains are believed to represent Tamil civilians allegedly killed during the Sri Lankan military's reoccupation of Jaffna between 1995 and 1996. These weren't combatants , they were civilians who disappeared after military checkpoints and never came home.

Somaratne Rajapaksha confessed from the dock of Colombo High Court Year 1999 : "Almost every evening, dead bodies were brought there and the soldiers were asked to bury them.

"In addition to skeletal remains, investigators have recovered items including baby milk bottles, toys, a doll, children's shoes and school bags, raising concerns that a significant number of the victims were children."
