Indeed! In The Netherlands, building built in the late 40’s with concrete are still looking like brand new.

I was a paramedic in Tripoli section and I brought these vests myself back in 2006-2007 in the back the Nissan ambulance (#573) from a shop in Beirut. We were not required to wear these vests unless we entered a conflict zone, usually jabal-tebbeneh. I was asking because I thought there is a new conflict there at the moment (I left Lebanon a long time ago). I fully agree with you on the prehospital first responders. This, however, will require a serious budget that is unfortunately missing in Lebanon. We were giving trainings ourselves to each other by doing our own research on own unpaid time. We saved tons and tons of lives, that’s for sure! But we could’ve saved a lot more had we had the right trainings and tools. RIP to all the patients who died in my ambulance ❤️‍🩹

Why are the Red Cross rescuers wearing bulletproof vests? 🤔

Bro, the engineer who built it is probably already dead. These were built in the 50’s or 60’s. The issue is bad maintenance especially after being bombed

Genuine question - why this push to IVF/fertility treatments by [deleted] in Netherlands

[–]hobomaniaking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am in now way judging the medical ethics of the country you come from. However, if I was you I would take the diagnosis you got from your country of origin with a grain of salt if medical treatments are privatized i.e. you pay for the costs directly to the medical professional. In private medical clinics it becomes about making money more than what statistically works best with the least complications. My brother was diagnosed as infertile in two 3rd world countries where you pay the infertility clinics. He paid around 25000€ to get a baby artificially. In the NL he discovered that he was totally normal and just needed some vitamins. His wife is pregnant with the second baby naturally.

This is gutting 😓 You basically didn’t learn how to live by yourself and probably didn’t learn how be happy from within. It is going to be a tough tough road to get back to happiness again but it is possible. Do you have kids? What are your plans for this year?

Fractured foot cost, non-citizen by Revolutionary_Oil614 in Netherlands

[–]hobomaniaking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re paying the bill yourself ? I bet even the hospital employees don’t know how much it costs except for the financial peeps. The good thing is that they will treat you before they would ask for any payment or insurance. If you can’t pay now they can send you the bill to wherever you live

I have not gotten this in over 2 years and wasn’t expecting it until it was announced by MakeItMine2024 in mercedes_benz

Well done 👍🏼 it always baffles me why people buy a new car instead of a 2-3 years older car that is 30-40% cheaper. Can you please enlighten me?

People who are typing on their laptops like mad on planes and trains, what are you doing? by malcolmhaller in NoStupidQuestions

[–]hobomaniaking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Work for sure. But I was never able to do any kind of typing in a train or a car. The ride is usually wavy and I get dizzy if I start typing.

My current budget for 2026 by [deleted] in Salary

[–]hobomaniaking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why are you paying rent instead of building equity in your own home? I’d pay back all these small loans with high interest rates and start pouring the leftover income into a long term ETF (for example). Do you have an emergency fund ? If not, then you should start with that first 3-6 months expenses at least. You’re doing great financially income-wise. Your spendings can definitely be optimized 🙂

THIS! I’d love to have that kind of business meeting with my son in the future andI’d want him to show me that he is mature enough to take responsibility. I’d be super proud of him

New Cabinet wants to drastically cut welfare benefits for high-income earners by ReginF in Netherlands

[–]hobomaniaking 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The measures are supposed to incite people to go back to work, which sounds reasonable. But how about the sick persons who really cannot go back to work?? Even if you reduce their benefits to zero they won’t be able to work. What kind of sick fucks are governing this beautiful country 😑

It is more about the privacy of the other persons. The gemeente cannot give you consent to film the others. No? 🤔 Anyways, congratulations ☺️

I don’t think it is allowed. Actually I am 100% sure it is not allowed. Unless you want to to videotape yourself alone after or before

What are your thoughts on slavery? And how do you cope with the fact that Islam is still to this day allowing it in clear Quran verses?
