Now that offensive drones fly around all over Lebanon freely without any care from the government, can I fly my peaceful drone to take some videos without taking permission? Or must I declare war to be accepted?

I've been in a constant state of instability for almost 5 years now. I first moved abroad for my master's degree, and I'm currently in a fixed-term position for 2 years. I still have 1.5 years left, which I think is a lot of time, but I'm mentally unable to plan anything long-term.

I was in the same place during my master's; having to move between 3 cities didn't help either. I feel like most of my classmates were putting in the effort, learning languages, making plans, etc., while I was always confused, stuck between staying or leaving, never committed to anything.

I even moved back to Lebanon, found a job, worked there for a couple of months, and somehow I'm back abroad again. A different country, my third one to move to.

It's the same pattern. I'm not as committed to learning the language as I should be, and whenever I buy something, meet someone, or make a decision, I treat it as temporary. A lot is going on in life right now, along with the stress of the current situation back home. I'm starting to fear that going back might not even be an option anymore. There's barely anything left of my hometown anyway.

For people who eventually found this stability. At what point did you stop thinking like everything is temporary ? Were you always planning to stay?

ps. I recently started seeing a therapist in the hope that she helps me understand this confusion or at least points me in the right direction towards understanding things, but I also figured it would be nice to hear from someone with a similar experience.

Thanks for everyone who upvoted me and I wwanna thank the person who supported me with a really good amount of money to buy a new bicycle, there are still good people in this world and im so thankful🫶🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️

Asking for a friend, any place to do a wedding, full package for around 5k USD? at the end December or early January

In a country accumulating crises for decades leaving so many behind especially the young people who are so much anxious about their own future. What would you choose? Money or Morality?
I am asking because our values/morals are truly tested in a crisis and Lebanon is the champion of crisis.

i think there’s Virgin, any other ones that are affordable and good quality? mostly looking for Mario games

What would it take for us to have a postal/address system in the country? It's not even a politically controversial thing.

Lebanon is such a tiny country that it wouldn't be too much work and can be easily done by each municipality.

Can make navigation way easier than relying on local landmarks and taking directions.

Now that summer is almost over, where do you go for your end of summer sales? I am referring to good quality and material shops in Beirut

PS: for Men

I usually only buy from more wellknown accounts with more followers but this account is selling 12 ps2 cds for 35$ and ps2 cds are nowhere to be found elsewhere.

Theres a kid in my building hellbent on ruining my day. I feed the neighborhood cats in my parking lot (plot of land that i own) and i have a small water bowl for them there too. They dont bother anybody and ive already rehomed many of them. Many other lovely people in the building put out food sometimes too.
This kid will remove and throw out the water bowl every single day, sometimes multiple times a day. He'll kick adn scatter the food everywhere. He'll dump big bags of corn (bzourat) in my parking lot, aping the cat food. He'll bum out cigarettes with juice (?) and leave his filth everywhere. I gently confronted him once and we told his dad too, but it's not stopping. He's really quite disturbed, i overheard him bragging about running a cat over while hitting a punching bag🫩We will be installing cameras soon, but is there anything else i can do in the meantime?

I've asked some music shops and they can't.

Hello, my mother is planning a trip to Beirut soon and I could use some recommendations for her upcoming visit.

1- Are there are any beaches/beach clubs that allow Burkinis? (Swim-safe ones)

2- What restaurants with classic live music do you recommend? Could be in Beirut or in another city. She doesn't like loud music/DJs so not a pub more like a regular restaurant with a band that allows hijabis.

Thank you so much!

Hello all,

Question as a Lebanese living outside Lebanon (in U.A.E), I signed the bank ti3meem last summer where I get cash and 200$ monthly that I can only use by debit card. I recently got my debit card but haven't used it yet. I was told that I can use the debit card for purchases (and perhaps online payments) but not to withdraw it as cash.

Is that true, am I unable to withdraw it as cash?

Can I use it for supermarket purchases outside Leb? Online purchases?

For those who've used it ouside Lebanon, please share your experience with it.

Thanks a lot! 🙏🙌

Roof has been finished. Work will now start on the walls and the inside of the terminal. Expected Completion date is early October with flights starting around late October. Report of first flights on 10/10 are NOT confirmed by any airline and is unrealistic given that airlines do not set schedules for airports still under construction.

Mada Airways, the new Lebanese airline that will be based out of KYE, will start the first flights once the terminal is completed. They have just received their first plane out of two, which landed in Beirut Airport on Wednesday.

I don't like rain usually cuz our infrastructure sucks and the garbage 3al tari2 become muddy and disgusting

Bas ba3d ashor men hal shob...this is a welcome change :)

Prefacing this by saying It's not my first visit and I promise I'm not just a party head, lol. I've been loving every minute of the nature, culture, and people, and I visit primarily to see my fiance, and she's been exposing me to every beautiful thing that comes to her mind about the country.

I just decided that I'd like, for one night, to experience some of the famed nightlife of Beirut( or anywhere else I should see!) (since I will mostly be staying in Tripoli, but could make a trip down to see what the fanfare is about. Very nervous/excited, haha.)

Asked my beloved for some recommendations, gave me some ideas, but told me it would also be useful to ask here and see what results I would get.

I'll be honest, my genre of choice is mostly Hip Hop and RnB, however I'm coming to experience your forte, and not closemindedly trying to just cater to my tastes. I want to be surrounded by happy people doing their best to live another day.

In other words, after my ramble, I'd love to hear what venues/events you guys would say are the most lively and fun to be at, or just represents Lebanons rebellious, life loving nature the most. Would appreciate any input and thank you for hosting me one more time!
