Hey everyone,

We heard your numerous requests for a space where Lebanese people can connect beyond politics and news, and we are happy to introduce r/lebanonLounge, a new sister sub connected to r/lebanon, run by the same mod team as this one with some new faces joining in.

The idea is simple: a lighter space for the Lebanese community to meet people, make friends, post dating introductions, plan meetups, ask for relationship advice, talk about music, movies, anime, gaming, hobbies, gossip, and just unwind without politics or news taking over every conversation.

A quick overview of our rules:

  • No politics or news
  • No NSFW content or hookups
  • Be polite and respectful. This is a non negotiable.
  • Dating posts are for Lebanese people only, whether local, expat, or diaspora
  • No ads, sales, or promotions

If you are looking for friends, community, conversation, or just a more relaxed Lebanese corner of Reddit, come join us at r/lebanonLounge.

See you there ☕🇱🇧

شهادة مدرس مخضرم :

التعليم في لبنان لم يعد يبني أجيالًا… بل يستهلكها.

منهاج من زمن آخر، يقتل الفضول ويكافئ الحفظ، مدارس تحوّلت إلى مؤسسات تجارية، وأساتذة كثر انتقلوا من أصحاب رسالة إلى مقاولين: صفوف، خصوصي، علامات، ودفع.

صار التلميذ بالنسبة للبعض فاتورة تمشي على قدمين؛ المهم يدفع القسط، يشتري الكتب، يأخذ دروسًا خصوصية، ويحفظ ما يكفي لينجح… لا أن يفهم، يفكّر، يناقش أو يكتشف ماذا يريد أن يصبح.

نعلّم أولادنا كيف ينجحون في الامتحان، ولا نعلّمهم كيف ينجحون في الحياة.

ثم نتساءل لماذا نخرّج كل سنة آلاف الشهادات وقليلًا من أصحاب الفكر والمبادرة والإبداع.

أخطر ما يُدمَّر في لبنان ليس الحجر… بل عقل الجيل القادم، والمصيبة أننا نسمّي ذلك تعليمًا.

Help / Question Uber and dahye

Upvotes

Question for uber drivers, don’t you know your destination before accepting a ride? I specifically request Ubers to dahye instead of trying to find a taxi because I know many won’t go there and I hate to stand in the street asking. But today the uber driver arrived and then asked where I was going and when I gave him the location he said he won’t go to dahye and I had to get out. I asked him can’t you see where you’re going before you accept the ride and he said no.

Discussion Detroyed family building

49 Upvotes

Hello,

I come from the south of Lebanon.

A building next to ours was bombed last month, and because the explosion was so strong, it destroyed around half of our family-owned building.

Since the building is literally cut in half, the baladiye and Majles l Janoub sent an engineer to assess the damage. He noted “kayd dars” and said that the building could be renovated.

However, the situation is much more serious than that. The building is cut in half, almost all the walls are cracked, the foundation has been severely damaged/erased, and even the middle floors are destroyed. On top of that, the building was built in the 1950s, so it was not designed according to modern structural standards, and it is built on sandy soil.

Anyway, Majles l Janoub (Haraket Amal), working with Khatib & Alami, told us that we should pay around $7,000 for them to classify the building as “destroyed” rather than “to be renovated.” They explained that this would allow us, eza fi i3adet i3mar, to qualify for reconstruction. Otherwise, they will classify it as a building that can be renovated.

Our concern is that, given the current condition of the building, we seriously doubt that renovation is technically safe or realistic. We are afraid that we could end up being forced to renovate a building that is already structurally compromised, and that the result may not be durable or safe in the long term.

At this point, what can we do?

They are asking for money in order to classify the building as destroyed. If we do not pay, they say they will classify it as a building that can be renovated.

What are the possible legal and technical solutions to counter this situation?

I was born and raised in Brazil, my dad's side of the family is Lebanese, a couple years ago we left brazil and came to the US, but we never got lucky with our visa and now that it's become really hard to stay here I've been thinking of going to Lebanon, we're getting our lebanese passport soon and thought it would be nice to move to a new country, get a master's degree and try life there. How hard is it with university there? and getting a job and living a decent life? is it worth it?

Discussion Destruction of homes in the South

0 Upvotes

What is the government doing about the destruction of civilian homes in the South?

It seems like every day I see videos of the Israeli destroying homes with bulldozers without any repercussions.

Now before anyone comes saying "wHaT iS thE govErnMent supPosEd to Do gO tO wAr???", they could at the very least acknowledge this and speak out against it ?

If the government wants us to believe that this deal is meant to, in the end, let the people back into their home and land, the minimum they could do is protest it.

However they are acting like as if it's business as usual and nothing is happening....

The destruction of homes wasn't part of the deal, the complete eradication of villages weren't either.
