I can’t believe my eyes I just witnessed a Liverpool counter attack end in a goal in 2026

@raeesha_96 Dan Brown's books. "Deception Point" is what I'd recommend to anyone.

It's better to keep quiet than pointing out a flaw. Unless there's a good tangible beneficial reason to do so.

@mariebiscuitsz Yes the worst part is that it bans your whole account and any other account you use to access it. I've had nine accounts banned from reddit because of r/sri lanka

There's something seriously sketchy about the biggest SriLanka subreddit on Reddit which is r/SriLanka. People getting banned and my muted with no explanation for discussing certain topics and so much more

@LankanLad I think you will enjoy reading about the "fundamental attribution error" concept in psychology.

One of the easiest thing and the most ill advised thing is to just blame someone's evil intentions and behaviour for stuff. But it ignores the fact that only 0.00001% of people actually just are born evil. Almost everyone has societal and cultural upbringing and influence

Also the desire for most sri lankans to be institutionalised forever thinking that it's the government's responsibility to educate and employ them.
Dr.Amila Fernando🪬@DrBukkabwoi

Sri Lanka has a 92% literacy rate. 97% school enrollment. One of the best educated populations in South Asia And yet youth unemployment is 22%. Thats 1 in 5 young people aged 15-24 who cant find work. More than 50,000 unemployed graduates sitting at home How does a country with near universal education produce graduates nobody wants to hire Because the system was built to create government employees not entrepreneurs. We spend 13 years teaching kids to memorize answers for an exam. Pass the O/Ls. Pass the A/Ls. Get into university. Get a government job. Thats the entire pipeline But there arent enough government jobs anymore. There never were. So what happens to the kid from Matara who studied arts for 4 years, graduated with honors, speaks zero English, has no digital skills, no internship experience, and was never taught how to write a CV let alone build a business He queues. He waits. His parents tell him a good job will come. And 3 years later hes still at home Meanwhile the IT sector is desperate for people. Tourism cant find enough trained staff. The garment industry needs middle managers. Construction needs engineers. The jobs exist — just not for the graduates we produce The mismatch is brutal: Universities teach theory. Employers want skills Degrees take 4 years. The industry moves every 6 months English is taught as a subject. The private sector needs it as a language Soft skills like communication, teamwork, problem solving — not in the syllabus Fewer than 5% of 15-24 year olds go through vocational training 77% of young people dont even know vocational pathways exist And the gender gap makes it worse. Female youth unemployment is nearly double male youth unemployment. The most educated women in the country are the most unemployed We dont have an education problem. We have a relevance problem. The system produces people trained for a world that doesnt exist anymore Fix the mismatch or keep producing angry, qualified, unemployed young people with nothing to lose. Weve seen what happens next

@Az_marve Not really. If there's no consequences only does the boss hafta micro manage and make sure everyone is in line and doesn't slack. If consequences are served to everyone in the chain when something goes wrong then naturally they will get in line. 😕👍

@LankanLad If one boss and many employees, then to be personally looking at each person is impossible. If going ahead with Implementation of consequences, then the boss have to micromanage to get each individual stats, that will eventually turn to a toxic working place 🫠

I have a theory about power dynamics and nasty bosses. I think in a system where the boss is the one who has full responsibility and his inferiors aren't really going to face the consequences of their mishaps then the boss is bound to be angry, strict and toxic.

Albeit not in the sri lankan merit system where they're graded on passing a theory based Mcq tests that doesn't test real world situational judgements at all.

Perhaps IT undergraduates should do what medical undergraduates are forced to do. Shadowing work in third year. Mock paralel work in fourth year. And fifth year tested on real life work and approach and graded accordingly.
Yudhanjaya Wijeratne@yudhanjaya

I'm on the other side of this argument. Most IT grads are bad hires because they're totally useless: they get taught theory, but nowhere near enough practical programming. In theory they can work, in practice they're disasters on a codebase. [1/3]
