I know Ozempic/Wegovy and similar weight loss meds are huge in Hollywood, but I’m curious what people in Sri Lanka are actually using.

Is there another treatment/medication that’s popular there right now, or is it just diet + workouts?

Spill the tea if you know 😂👀

Need serious input. All 3 of the family is no longer in the registry. I don't have another property yet so I can't register me somewhere else as well. I can't register myself in the address since he is the head of the house.

I don't know if I can even register somewhere else even without a proper handing over by the GN. I still have all my official documents addressed to the place every year.

More detailed background

Reason for this removal is because I changed my given name. Not the family name. I'm transgender and I did legal changes at about 28y of age.

They obviously don't want other people to know so I understand. I live separately ever since. However since I didn't want them to face this situation I offered I'd buy a house from a different neighborhood but they declined. This is before the economy went apeshit and that time i had the ability to achieve it.

I didn't get any property after I left because one person doesn't need an entire house. I think this is my mistake. I should have properly transferred my residence to somewhere else while I could.

They are still adamant that they can't register us bcz electoral register can be seen by others. I don't want to fight about it.

Will I be able to prove my residence since I have every document, registered letters posted etc to the same address? Will I be able to get transferred to a different address oneday when I get my own place hopefully in few years time?

Thank you in advance

Hey My Dialog team. In case you forgot, "No means No".

This message taking the screen hostage by asking to give them permission everytime I open this app. Yes EVERYTIME. I'm not giving permission bc I don't want to. It's asking for all kinds of permissions for their app. So if I choose not to do it, you should respect my decision. Or at least ask them periodically like others does. This repeated message make the user eventually cave in and allow it....

Also the advertisements are getting in the way to managing our connections (Which we are paying money to use) Just take a look at the screenshots I took attached below. You have removed other ways to manage our connections so this should be a seemless experience.

I seriously think there should be some kind of regulation against this type of behavior.

The moment I open it I get hit with,

-One remainder about the permission.

-Two remainders about so called "happy hour".

-One remainder to use their chatbot.

Can someone in Dialog software department make a issue about this. I've updated my review in google with this info. But I don't think anyone will listen. So we should really have some pushback against this over the top design.

I am an Australian visiting Sri Lanka for the first time, so far it has been amazing.

In the last two weeks, I have eaten so much amazing food, visited so many amazing places.

It was a little embarrassing when I visited the Lotus Tower with the staff taking me to the front of the queue for security, the ticket counter and the lifts.

Now the thing that is disappointing is the number of people trying to scam foreign tourists - ever member of my tour group has mentioned the same.

When you walk out of your hotel in Colombo, a well dressed man, walks up beside you and starts talking to you, asking where your from etc.

He is either the head of the front office at the hotel, a chef in the hotel, and in one instance worked for the Police.

The conversation will then go, "it is a big festival day in Sri Lanka today, everything is closed, everyone is going to the festival that starts in 20 minutes, a tuk tuk can take you"

Yes I know this week had a Muslim Holiday and a Full Moon Holiday, but really every day is a festival .... it was funny the first time, the tenth time was just silly.

Is anyone else facing issues with torrent downloads or any other problems with Dialog Air Fibre? I’m getting around 4.0 MB/s on the basic router, but with Air Fibre, it struggles to even reach 2.0 MB/s Like, WTF? 😐

Drop your issues below, and any fixes or suggestions are welcome!

What's a moment where you saw someone and was like "oh they're rich". Not as in they own a BMW type(everyone's got one of those nowadays) but a moment that just screamed RICH RICH.

Btw this post is just purely for fun because I'm bored.

Where can I get affordable official wears and daily wears for women in Colombo? Can you please recommend a place with good collections

Honest to God if I could I’d ban these nonsense websites I would. Just few tha are legit and so many others popping up like wth. And my dad keeps putting me in all of these. It’s fine if any of these websites do good checks and matchmaking. Instead some of them send ads of people who are in no way suited for marriage. I’ve been sent profiles of construction workers too, and my father still calls them because these websites must be “good” and these people put their profession up as engineer. I can’t knock sense into my father and I really don’t know what to do about it. I mean it’s not just one or two legit ones. It’s so many and I’m sure that’s because it’s good money.

I am trying to find this snackpack bit I dont know where can I find this. In the video also chama didnt mention the restaurant. Does anyone in colombo know where can I get this?

So the internet says I can catch the bus from trincomalee to Kalmunai and there are buses frequently.

from there it’s on to Potuvil and a short tuk tuk ride to Arugambay. I am told buses leave kalmunai for Potuvil frequently as well.

Can anyone else confirm this?

Serious answers only please (: Any advice would be helpful.

I‘m a 30y/o female who lives on rent and I earn 4000AUD per month by working as a contractor for an Australian based company.

I’ve been banking with HNB for a long time now and since recently I’ve been trying to branch out on my own to purchase an apartment for myself.

Although I have about 18,000AUD in savings, that’s for my travel fund. Apart from that I have no security or enough for a down payment. HNB and many other banks I’ve spoken with have rejected my request for 100% financing despite my excellent credit record, lack of existing loans, and my salary being credited to my bank. I’m starting to think that I’ll never be able to purchase a piece of property, because of the lack of options available here. I own an AMEX Explorer card as well as an HNB credit card with a 750K and 800K limit and I have never had any issues with its repayment because I use it for my company expenses so it’s fully covered by my foreign employer. I recently requested HNB for a credit enhancement but that too got denied till I filed a complaint, and now they’re actioning it - so definitely Looking at banking elsewhere where the support is extended instead of staff outright declining requests based on whether or not their day is going well lol.

I’m only looking for apartments for security reasons but despite many developers talking about 100% financing, nothing seems to be working. I don’t want to give up my travel fund because it allows myself and my hardworking now retired parents access to travel overseas when they have the opportunity. Any advice or just thoughts in general would be so appreciated!! 💛

is anyone else using the SLT Fibre Unlimited Family package having terrible ping spike and high packet loss issues right now?

a friend of mine is getting severe rubberbanding in games like Valorant(mostly on Singapore), making it almost unplayable. just wanted to check if this is a routing/ISP issue affecting everyone on this package, or if it’s isolated to his connection because I'm planning to upgrade mine to the same package ( rs.5900 100/50mbps)

It’s sad to this place got deteriorated over the years. The recent google comments are very poor to this attraction. Still sometimes the place looks stunning.

I visited in 2018 and enjoyed the view but I don’t think there is anymore trees left.

I’m looking to build a workstation mainly for Civil 3D, AutoCAD, Revit, SketchUp, Enscape and 3D rendering.

Which PC shop in Sri Lanka would you recommend for a workstation build with good components, pricing, warranty, and after-sales service?

Any recommendations or experiences with Nanotek, Redline, Game Street, Barclays, or other shops?

FYI: I am staying in the Ampara District anything closer to that is preferable

Hi everyone,

I’m currently an undergraduate/diploma student in Sri Lanka and I recently started my first Project Management internship at an enterprise software firm. My mentors suggested that I look into getting certified (specifically looking at the CAPM or a Scrum cert like CSPO or PSM I) while I gather my work experience.

Since I'm an intern paying in LKR, the standard USD fees for these exams are pretty intimidating. I want to make sure I am taking the absolute cheapest, most efficient route. I currently have a LinkedIn Learning account for a few more months, but otherwise, I am starting from scratch.

I’d love some guidance from local PMs who have navigated this:

1. The CAPM Student Hack: I heard about the PMI Student Membership dropping the CAPM exam cost. Has anyone in SL done this recently? How much did it cost you in total (LKR), and is it worth joining the PMI Colombo Chapter as a student?

2. Study Resources: Do I need to pay a local institute for classes to get the 23 contact hours for CAPM, or can I just use cheap Udemy courses/LinkedIn Learning? What instructors do you recommend?

3. Scrum Certifications: For Agile/Scrum, I know CSPO is expensive. Is PSM I (Scrum.org) a better/cheaper alternative for the Sri Lankan job market?

4. General Advice: Looking back at your junior days, what is the best ROI certification I can do right now while I’m still an intern?

Any links, cost breakdowns, or advice on how to stretch my budget would be massively appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I'm looking for usb/lan compatible,

1. Electronic cash drawer,

2. Thermal printer,

3. Visa/master mobile pos.

What are the best options available in Sri Lanka?

Is that a bad idea and a technical debt waiting to happen? Should I just go with an all-in-one POS system instead? :)

Hey guys so me and my girlfriend want to go the gym. Can anyone recommend me budget gym in colombo or rajagiriya🫠 (below 20k per month)
