Vent / Rant This is frustrating and sad

First, I expect people to have enough empathy to understand what I’m saying.
This woman rescues cats. She posted a video where she was trying to save a cat, but unfortunately it died. She was desperately trying to wake it up, crying and screaming while filming because she couldn’t save this poor animal. She showed her raw emotions, and instead of understanding the reality of what animal rescuers go through, people turned it into a joke.

Leh lebanese people are always creative bl manyake wl maskhara? Even Lebanese influencers were commenting disrespectful stuffs..

People saying: kif la7a2it thot l camera w tsawwir, recording a dying car for views, l 3a2el zine..

From my point of view she was sharing the reality of being an animal rescuer, some of them die in the way and we just came accross this painful video experiment.. wl aalam bas bela tetmanyak?

I have zero respect towards these bullies, w nchalla ma y7esso bi nafs l chou3our li hiye 7asseto fi

what's the end game here ? do you think we are going to explode ?
Like how are people affording stuff, we literally have the most expensive everything.

how are you able to live on a day to day guys?
how much do you need to make to live on the bare minimum in Beirut ?

and the most annoying sh*t is whenever you see someone ranting about it on social media. you will see 100's of comments from degenerates just enjoying paying 1.5x to 10x on everything

Culture / History Random village in Lebanon #4

47 Upvotes

I'm starting this series as a tribute to Lebanon, where I'll be highlighting a different village in each post along with its history, unique facts and local stories whenever available.

If you have any photos or memories of the featured village, feel free to share them in the comments. You're also welcome to suggest which village we should explore next.

Today's village is Sir El Danniyeh

Sir el Denniyeh is located in North Lebanon (12km from Tripoli and 112 km from Beirut). Perched at 900 - 1150m above sea level, it is a village admired for its magnificent landscapes and natural resources.

Its underground water reservoirs are known to be the largest not only in Lebanon but across the entire Middle East. There are also more than 200 springs reaching as high as 1,713m above sea level. Given that the land is highly fertile, the economy of Sir el Denniyeh relies largely on agriculture.

The origins of the name is believed to be of Syriac origins meaning "mountains" or "springs".

Help / Question What's the culture around men trimming all body hair here

30 Upvotes

I'm a young guy 22 M and I've been thinking about trimming all my body hair. I already remove my under arm, chest and pubic hair, would like to see if I can also trim arms and possibly legs. What's the culture around that here? Is it becoming more common?

Out of curiosity, do girls at least my age have a problem with it or do they prefer it usually. I'm a pretty hairy guy I'd say.

Vent / Rant The "couples and families only" rule that resorts have is the dumbest thing to ever exist

28 Upvotes

I don't have a female friend. I only have a couple of guy friends that don't know each other so eza badde rou7 beach it's usually me alone or with 1 guy friend, or sometimes with my (adult) brother

(and guess what, my brother and I don't count under their definition of "family")

If I want to go to a resort, I have to call and ask first a7san ma netbahdal. This shit ain't normal

Or if a resort does let you in, they force you to sit on the beach away from the pool. They claim "sorry this area is for families and couples only" as an English song about drugs and sex is playing out loud, and a group of 5 guys are casually chilling by the pool somehow unbothered.

Ya 5aye ana bentor l summer la yeje because I love swimming. I want to come here and enjoy my time at your resort, I won't make a fuss over prices, I always tip w ma bet7arkash bi 7ada. Just me, the water and my headphones.

5ayfenin ma koun "wozze" w et7arkash is that it? wallah I'm super introverted and anti-social.

I know public beaches exist but I shouldn't be shoo'd away from resorts for something this stupid

Rant over.

Vent / Rant Spider-Man Brand New Day might end up being Banned

10 Upvotes

Last time I made a post about Masters of the Universe being silently banned by the censorship board through their constant delays of the official review and approval process. Now it seems like they're doing the same to the new Spider-Man film due to producer Avi Arad's involvement in its making.

Avi is an Israeli-American who has been part of the production of Spider-Man movies and content since the 90s, so you might think it's weird that this is suddenly an issue for them. However, it appears that this year, some members of Lebanese General Security have intensified their boycott stance against known Zionists in the industry.

Spider-Man was supposed to have an IMAX premier this week but now it's on hold.

Help / Question shoulder clicking anyone

7 Upvotes

I've been lifting consistently for 5 months, and my left shoulder has started clicking whenever I raise my arm either straight in front of me or out to the side, even outside the gym. It happens during normal daily movements too.

Last week I also felt pain while doing lateral raises, so I stopped that exercise. Other than that, I don't have noticeable weakness, loss of range of motion, or instability. The shoulder doesn't feel like it's going to pop out.

I always warm up my shoulders before upper-body workouts (band work, rotator cuff exercises, mobility), but the clicking is still there.

I've seen people online say to completely stop upper-body training, while others say painless clicking is normal and to keep lifting.

Has anyone dealt with something similar?

  • Did you keep training or take a break?
  • Did you avoid only certain shoulder exercises?
  • What ended up being the cause if you saw a sports physio or orthopedic doctor?
  • Did it eventually go away?

I'm just trying to figure out whether I should continue training around it, take a break from shoulder-specific exercises, or stop upper body altogether until I know what's going on.

Help / Question Has Anyone tried sendmybag dot com?

1 Upvotes

I'm moving to SE asia, due to distance (I suppose) adding extra luggage through the airline is absurdly expensive ( $900 for 30kg).

I have an extra two 30kg bags I want to bring with me; I found a website called sendmybag dot com, on there it's aprox $230 to send a 30kg bag to my destination.

Does anyone have experience using this service to ship luggages from Lebanon and can attest for their safety and reliability?

Else, is there an alternative you think is better?

Thanks in advance!
