> Nothing unusual because that's the practice at the Nallur Kandaswamy Kovil, a temple near Jaffna in Sri Lanka.
> "Days after announcing on Twitter that a Chinese solar company had found a new client in the Maldives because security concerns" of a "Third party" had led to the suspension of its project on three islands off Jaffna peninsula, Ambassador Qi is touring Sri Lanka's Tamil-dominated Northern Province, wooing an ethnic minority that has traditionally been close to India.
> In conversations with Jaffna's civil society representatives, Qi responded to questions on the China-India rivalry in Sri Lanka, saying there was more geographical distance between India and Sri Lanka than between India and China since both countries share a border.
> He even said that talk of "Third party" pressure on Sri Lanka to cancel the solar farm on three islands off Jaffna was "Fake news".
> Chinese interests and its infrastructure projects in Sri Lanka have been largely focussed on the Sinhala south, particularly due to the snug relations that Beijing has with the Rajapaksas.
> "So far, Tamil people have not had much rapport with the Chinese. The visit might have been to improve relations with the Tamils," said Dharmalingam Sithadthan, a member of Parliament from Jaffna and leader of the former militant group PLOTE. In recent months, Tamils have questioned signage in Sri Lanka that includes Mandarin but has left out Tamil, even though it has the status of an official language.

... keep reading on reddit โกI really liked Paradox's inclusion of monuments. The thing is, I feel they neglected many notable monuments and did not expand on this amazing idea. Thus, here is a thorough list of monuments that are needed. I feel monuments should become more common throughout the globe and the 'Great Project level system' should be re-worked. The first level should cost 500 ducats, the second 2000 ducats, and the third 5000 ducats. Because this list would make monuments more common, I feel Paradox should also develop more unique requirements for each monument. Thus there should not only be limitations only on culture and religion, but also Government type, trade power, military statistics, country specific missions etc...
*Note: Remember, this list contains the monuments which are not present in EU 4 currently. The full monument list in the game can be found here https://eu4.paradoxwikis.com/Great_project. Please comment or add anything not found in the game already.*

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.
Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.
Do your worst!
I'm surprised it hasn't decade.
For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!
Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies ๐
It really does, I swear!
Theyโre on standbi
Pilot on me!!
Nothing, he was gladiator.
Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.
This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.
If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.
Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.
When I got home, they were still there.

This morning, my 4 year old daughter.
Daughter: I'm hungry
Me: nerves building, smile widening
Me: Hi hungry, I'm dad.
She had no idea what was going on but I finally did it.
Thank you all for listening.
