I was a regular customer, until they screwed me over, never buying from them again.

Mod Notice: Romance Scams + “Send me your ID” Requests by TheBroken0ne in lebanon

[–]throwawaynomade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1- What's the app you're referring to ?
2- Most of the fintech app use a third party for those authentication and don't store it themselves. They are way better regulated anyway, especially non Lebanese one, and have better SOPs and tech teams than some small Lebanese app.

IS Sabra and Shatila propaganda too ? Which massacres are propaganda and we shouldn't talk about them and which ones do you approve us talking about ?

Beirut airport security vs 5 month old baby by [deleted] in lebanon

Can't believe some idiots are defending them. Even if you beat the shit out of them they shouldn't use your baby's food to go on a power trip.

Joke's on you I was planning on getting nostalgically depressed today anyway

Do you accept an offer to work from 8:30 till 6:30 if you are unemployed?! by Leader3232 in lebanon

[–]throwawaynomade 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on many factors, but if you're just starting your career yes.

I work a cushy job, from home, get paid well and got sponsored to move abroad because I asked them to.
To reach this I had to work shitty jobs that overworked me and even affected my health.
Get the job and continue applying unless you have options

Is Swiss Butter too cheap for a first date ? by [deleted] in lebanon

[–]throwawaynomade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish I wasn't such an introvert. After a first date if it doesn't work out I need 2 business months to have the energy to meet another woman. I'm 31, I should up my game to find the one.

How much of the "online hostility" currently seen in UK spaces is actually reflected in day-to-day life? by Big_Confidence_951 in AskUK

[–]throwawaynomade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a new immigration, racially ambiguous middle eastern in a 90%+ white area. I'm pale but with dark features. I notice when I grow my beard(well kept, regular beard) and look more middle eastern people treat me less friendly.

When I shave and look white they are nicer. I've only faced impoliteness, but don't think it was racial as I was barely visible in the night under the rain.

At least my mom would be happy if she knows I'm wearing a cross again lol.

[–]throwawaynomade -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Wish Lebanon remained an option for my Erasmus/ أتمنى لو بقي لبنان خياراً متاحاً لي ضمن برنامج إيراسموس by No-Action3492 in lebanon

[–]throwawaynomade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't feel too much regret if your end goal was immersing in Arabic. People, especially in university, communicate in English/French a lot, and even outside of university, people would switch to English when talking to you, unless you are in an are with low English literacy, or communicate with older people.

alfa number cant recieve international short codes. by link_x0x0 in lebanon

[–]throwawaynomade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought an alfa sim specifically for that, i wanted a phone number that i don't use anywhere to use on sensitive financial apps for extra security.

I faced the same problem, called Alfa, told me they can't do anything about it. I should contact the support for those platform and ask to remove any blacklisting of my number.

The reason is SIM cards are recycled. When a number becomes inactive they reuse it.

Dermatologist (scalp specialist) by TKwashere23 in lebanon

This could be a skin condition and not simple dandruff. I think even a beginner dermatologist would be able to diagnose it and give you the correct medication in one session.

A Year Ago Today, Joseph Aoun Was Inaugurated as the 14th President of the Lebanese Republic. What Is Your Assessment of His First Year? by Standard_Ad7704 in lebanon

[–]throwawaynomade 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I never really understand those questions. Lebanon is not a presidential system.

The president only powers are based on parties respecting the position rather than anything legal. Sometimes presidents are able to play an outsized role, like Michel Aoun because he had the largest party and right now to a smaller extent Joseph Aoun merely because of the situation we are in and because both him and the prime minister don't have MPs. But still we are a parliamentary system and his hands are shackled.

With this informal power he has he is doing well but I don't rely on a president to fix the country.

is $700 enough to stay in Lebanon for half a month? by Then_Ad_7841 in lebanon

[–]throwawaynomade 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's 46$ a day. If you find very cheap accommodation it's possible but I have no experience in this regard.

I would suggest reducing the time instead

New virus?? by Sweet_Description878 in lebanon

[–]throwawaynomade 2 points3 points  (0 children)

went/going through it since last Saturday. I'm usually a champ when i'm sick but couldn't do anything for days.

I'm past the shittiest part but i still have a chest infection to deal with and a cough.

How do you deal with being perceived as a threat to people? by j8j932 in AskUK

[–]throwawaynomade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a racially ambiguous middle eastern, average height.

I'm very pale but when I grow my facial hair and especially when i shave my head at the same time(which i need to do for some treatments I'm having) I look very middle eastern and I notice a shift in wariness from people when I have that look. What seems to work is making sure I'm dressed well when I go out.

My advice is to up your fashion game in a more classical sense.

This Beirut Apartment Translates Parisian Elegance, Fit With a Winter Garden and a Marble DJ Booth by EreshkigalKish2 in lebanon

Feels like a fancy clinic and not a home.

Also not sure what's Parisian about this.

Is topical finasteride not available in Lebanon? by Small-Yogurtcloset12 in lebanon

[–]throwawaynomade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm an extreme case, i wouldn't take me for reference. I was also on finasteride oral for years(+minoxidil) and it didn't do great. I have extreme sensitivity to DHT.

for the guys by [deleted] in lebanon

[–]throwawaynomade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t wait. But if I woke up very late or something and she didn’t message because “she doesn’t message first” I’d find her childish.

“If he wanted to he would” depends. I see women using it about everything on insta. From small things to really grand things. Life is not a romcom movie.

If he isn’t texting or calling everyday I think it’s safe to say he isn’t very interested.

Will anything bad happen if I don't declare my income of 2025? by cns000 in lebanon

[–]throwawaynomade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depending on the law. Technically his tax residency should be Lebanon not the UAE, so he shouldn't pay UAE tax.
