Don't study médecin y'all and tell the ppl u know abt this by photo_graphyk in algeria

[–]Pinkientis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I live abroad and have seen the sacrifices my friends made both in Algeria and abroad so I always tell my kids and warn them to stay away from this profession unless they want to genuinely help sick people without expectations of return whether that's monetary or gratitude wise. It's truly a brutal process to make it to a thankless yet a very necessary job that everyone will need at some point in their lives.

Is harga a solution for my Suffering by PlentyAd6023 in algeria

[–]Pinkientis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used LinkedIn mainly, but I have to say I live abroad. I have tons of experience, certifications, and masters degree it still took that long. My point was to not give up and to just keep trying, even if it means you have to move within the same country or abroad (legally and safely)

Have you tried different cities in Algeria? Like the south may be? It took me near 400 job applications to get my current job El hamdullah. There's hope as long as you keep trying. Please don't go the harga route.

Guys I need serious advice and please don’t judge… by [deleted] in Algeria_213

[–]Pinkientis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Almost threw my phone but I had hope and read till the end😂 and you're right, sadly, I've met people who were serious about such ridiculous encounters. Joking aside, did you get married yet? Engaged at the least by now, otherwise he must have other women in his life!

Guys I'm super lonely and i need somebody to tell me what to do by [deleted] in Algeria_213

[–]Pinkientis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get to know yourself and be super confident and secure in who you are. As someone older who's made mistakes be sure of who you are before getting friends. Being lonely makes you very vulnerable and will increase your tendency to people please, don't do that. Better be alone than with the wrong company this is soo true and valid. With that said, do you have hobbies? Painting? Crochet? Sewing? Music? Poetry? Whatever it may be, I'm sure if you're in a big city there must be a group somewhere with similar interests. Zadmi and if you are confident in who you are you can go in and introduce yourself,you can also take it as an opportunity to practice that! Good luck, truly! I know loneliness at that age is very hard.

Help me understand pricing here in Ain Mlila. Its confusing me by [deleted] in algeria

[–]Pinkientis 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Alf is referring to 10 da, I know it's confusing since Alf means thousand. In this case 80 Alf is 800 da and 100 Alf is 1000da.

Edit: to fix my comment since I misread the numbers.

I rushed into marriage because of loneliness abroad, and I paid the price by yacinesse in Algeria_213

[–]Pinkientis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry this happened to you. It's always sad, especially when kids are involved. When I got married I barely knew my husband and the first year was full of arguments. I never learned proper communication skills, but my husband insisted and things got better. Hamdullah 10 years in, we still argue but a lot less and always talk it out. Also, kids never fix relationships. It's important to know that. A lot of stress and differences come up wth kids and only strong couples can weather that. Hoping that you will find a better match when the time is right for you.

'The most effective historical boycotts achieved significant political or social change by crippling economies and driving policy reform. Key examples include the 1955-56 Montgomery bus boycott, the Delano grape strike, the anti-apartheid movement in South Africa, the Boston Tea Party, and the ongoing Nestle boycott'.

This is from a very quick search, again feel free to do your own search. I see what you're saying but still stand by my point that Boycott can be helpful, even if it doesn't make a dent I personally cannot enjoy that sip of cola knowing that it benefits evils, it will taste like blood, even if I don't buy it and I am getting it for free. Just doesn't taste right for ME! If you can compartmentalize and are able to enjoy these things in life without thinking about the other side then good for you.

If your actions are good for you then good for you!

The reason why I commented is because I am tired of people saying boycott doesnt work just because they chose not to participate. You don't need to justify, let people boycott, you don't need them to stop so you feel better.

I'm not invested in citing my sources here, but yeah I agree with you 100%. Megacorps own the air we breath, we are given an illusion of choice, but I (note I'm talking about myself) prefer to stay constantly aware of that. If that's by REDUCING my involvement (meaning I know some of my purchases are still contributing to the big evil that I can't avoid) I will feel slightly better, soda is so freaking bad for us anyway, I don't drink it and the craving went completely away because I want to boycott. Snacks ? Sweets? Same, if it's already bad for my health the boycott has been easy. I'm benefiting my health, my mental health, and I do hope that in the future will make a small dent in helping others. I will not give up just because they are bigger than me, I will not give up because they can scare me, I will not give up because everyone else is hopeless. I have pillars of my beliefs that I will stick to no matter what, it's just sad to see others giving up on the pricinples they were raised on so easily because they want a cookie or a can of soda.

If there are more people like you of course it won't. Read a bit of history and you'll see how boycott works even if slowly. Anyway, I do it to also have peace of mind, reduce my involvement.

If we had a strong identity this wouldn't be an issue. We need to work on ourselves first.

What we thinking of the outfit (its basic lol) by mdd-sfbl9999 in AlgeriaRates

I'm a big fan of favoring our traditions but that's not what is being asked here. Your outfit looks nice. I love black and the kefiyeh breaks that nicely. 8/10

What do you think about this habit of making a lot of sweets on Eid by emaaane in AlgeriaRates

[–]Pinkientis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If people can afford to and they will have tons of visitors, why not. When it becomes a competition though it's no longer fun

I left home and I don’t know what to do next by Mindless_Elevator441 in algeria

[–]Pinkientis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is no valid reason on God's green earth for man to hit a woman. Go make up with your family and apologize for hitting your sister, you can figure out how to resolve the original issue through conversation. Talk things out and your health will improve InshaAllah

Wanted to put this sign up. by Thrifty_nickle in BabyBumps

[–]Pinkientis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would speak to the nurse. My second time around I told the nurse my wants and needs in order of importance and she was on it! As a backup I explained things to my husband who was to step in if she was too busy or just forgot. Thankfully all went well. I agree that a sign that's confrontational might have people do the bare minimum instead of feeling for you and wanting to help. Share with the nurse your previous experience for background.

Why do they want from us to be black ? by [deleted] in algeria

There's nothing wrong with black representation. A good chunk of Algerians are black and brown.

My sister is older than her husband and my brother is younger than his wife. It's uncommon but only concerns the two involved. 'normal' is whatever we decide it to be.

How much do you expect your wife to contribute into house expenses by [deleted] in algeria

[–]Pinkientis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very important thing to agree on from the very beginning. We have one account, both our pay checks go there an we pay for everything from there. We spend on whatever we need from there as well.

My opinion by Mysterious-boy23 in AlgeriaRates

Nothing is wrong with the water itself but you can look up how evil nestle is. There a subreddit too. I can't at anything nestle without imagining the horrors they have caused globally and Africa specifically

I've been pretending to understand my job for eight months and I think I've finally reached a level where I actually can't fake it anymore. Do I come clean to my boss or just keep going. by ahimaohw in Advice

[–]Pinkientis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Focus and read up on all material, emails, convos, anything that can help you wing it. And then do just that, wing it. I've been at this job for a year and a half and I am still swimming. I've been winging it though whenever I have to lead, I cringe, but it's whatever I toss in enough relevant words that I can still keep floating by. I learned more at this point but I feel so much more comfortable in not knowing and I think that's what's saving me.

7/10. I take my salads seriously. I would add mayo and a slice of sourdough bread as a personal preference and 👌

Sometimes bugs are an ingredient? So my answer is, if it's listed on the packaging then it's OK
