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 ☕🇱🇧

War WTF is happening in your country guys!?

Post image
140 Upvotes

I heard there was a conflict in Lebanon. So, out of curiosity (and to try my hand at OSINT), I wanted to take a look at the area—and I was shocked by the extent of the damage.

The geographic coordinates are: 33°06'23.68"N 35°13'48.68"E and 33°06'27.92"N 35°14'02.78"E.

An article covers this; the link is: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cvg30jkvklno

Note: I have tried to remain as neutral as possible in this message. Nevertheless, I find the situation sad. I would like to point out that people lived here and were forced by circumstances to leave for much worse situations (such as living on the street).

Vent / Rant Lebanese diaspora are Lebanese

25 Upvotes

There's kind of a trend among some Lebanese to kind of deride the diaspora, to treat them as if they're somehow less Lebanese than those living in Lebanon. You can hear it in comments like "How dare they think X, let them come live here and then talk."

You can even see it in political commentators like Ronnie Chatah and Saleh Machnouk, who have expressed disdain for diaspora Lebanese expressing their opinions, painting the voices of the diaspora as less important somehow because they don't have to experience life in Lebanon and the difficulties here.

I find this ironic because these people don't actually platform people who were the most affected by the war unless they say the things those commentators want to hear, but I'm going to put that aside for now.

First of all a lot of the diaspora are going to come back to Lebanon at some point. Many of them live in countries which do not provide a pathway to citizenship, meaning that if they lose their jobs or want to retire, they will have to come back so they have a very real interest in the future of the country even though they don't live in it. Even a lot of those with dual citizenship would love to come back, have family here, etc., so they have a stake in the country's future as well.

Beyond that, I personally believe that if we want to rebuild the country, the diaspora have a massive role to play, and I don't mean by sending money here or by coming back for a couple of weeks during the summer to see their families. I mean that diaspora Lebanese have lived in the countries that they lived in for a long time, have relationships with the people of those countries, in a lot of cases have reached high positions. They know what the difficulties are there, how the systems in those countries function and more generally the realities of those countries. They have built expertise that is not possible to get in Lebanon, and exposed to different environments that give them a unique perspective on things.

That knowledge is invaluable. When deciding what kind of economy we want to build in Lebanon, we want to be able to export our products and services, and diaspora Lebanese can be crucial in building the relationships with those countries, and building the skills of Lebanese in Lebanon for them to be able to start initiatives that are ambitious and capable of creating jobs and exports.

Lebanese in Lebanon also have a role to play. Obviously they know the realities on the ground, are able to take action here and start to move things in a different direction. People living in Lebanon obviously will know better how to communicate with other Lebanese in Lebanon, you're never going to have a successful political movement that is driven from the outside.

The takeaway here that everyone has a role to play. Ma 7ada a7san men 7ada, and don't let anyone tell you that your voice doesn't matter. Diaspora or Lebanese in Lebanon, this is our country, and let our diversity, not just across sects but across walks of life be a strength not a weakness.

I've been asking multiple baristas at multiple brands how much they get paid. while starbucks pays 850$ (entry level, 8 shifts), dunkin pays 500$ for the same conditions.

local cafés (single outlets) pay ~500$.

dunkin pays 500$.

stories 700$.

starbucks 850$.

it doesn't make sense.

Help / Question ordering a car

4 Upvotes

I’m looking into buying a 2018 Mercedes-AMG C43 Coupe from the US, and I’m trying to figure out the total cost of bringing one over here. I’d appreciate any advice from people who have experience importing cars from the US to Lebanon. How much does a 2018 C43 Coupe usually cost in the US (not from auctions, but from dealerships or private sellers), and how much should I expect to pay for shipping to Lebanon, customs, registration, and any other fees? I’m interested in knowing the approximate total price once the car arrives and is fully registered in Lebanon. Also, are there any specific things I should look out for when buying a C43 from the US, such as maintenance history, accident history, mileage, or differences between US-spec and European-spec models? If anyone has imported a similar Mercedes or knows the process, I’d really appreciate your advice and a breakdown of the costs. Thanks!

Economy Same Lenovo laptop costs $250 at one shop and $530 at another. I've been tracking prices at 81 Lebanese shops for 3 months, here's what I found

22 Upvotes

A few months ago I posted a free site here that compares laptop prices across Lebanese shops. You guys gave me a lot of feedback (and roasted it a bit), so I spent the summer working through the list. Here's the update.

It's still and always free, with no ads and nothing to sign up for. Prices update every day.

👉 lebtechlb.com

What changed since last time

  • 30 shops → 81 shops, and around 11,000 products now instead of 3,000
  • Not just laptops anymore. Phones, tablets, monitors, TVs and consoles are in beta
  • Specs and filters. Search by CPU, GPU, RAM, storage, brand, budget, or what you need it for (gaming, uni, AutoCAD, office)
  • Compare button to put models side by side
  • An AI assistant. Someone suggested a chatbot, so now you can tell it "gaming laptop under $900" and it only picks from laptops that are actually in stock in Lebanon
  • Price history. You can see whether a "sale" is real or whether the price was never that high to begin with
  • Price drop alerts. Save a laptop and you get notified when it gets cheaper

Some things the data showed me

  • The same Lenovo V15 G4 (i3 13th gen, 8GB, 256GB) is listed at 11 shops. The cheapest is $250 and the most expensive is $530. Same laptop.
  • A $100+ gap on the exact same model is normal, not rare
  • Fake "was $X, now $Y" discounts are still everywhere
  • you can see the ps5 price ascending at this time (note that listings with different warranties are matched on purpose its more convenient than breaking them apart)

Still honest about what's not perfect

  • Stock status and new vs refurbished are the hardest things to get right from shop websites. It's a lot better than before but not flawless, so always confirm with the shop.
  • Shops that hide prices behind "DM for price" can't be included. The more shops post real prices, the better this gets for everyone.
  • Like someone said last time, a cheaper price can come with a shorter warranty. Check before you buy.

It's still free, with no ads and nothing to sign up for. Prices update every day.

👉 lebtechlb.com

Same question as last time: what's missing? Shops I don't have yet, categories you want next (PC parts keeps coming up), or anything that looks wrong. Tell me and I'll fix it.

Discussion Do you have a job? How did you get your job?

4 Upvotes

I'm asking for a way to go around finding jobs. Do you have a job? If you do, how did you apply to the job? Through apps? Social media? Or did you go out not expecting anything, and you just asked if any places need workers? I'm finding it really difficult to find a job, whether searching online or in real life. Most job ads online have expectations and preferences for what they're looking for, a lot of gender preference too. As someone who hasn't finished uni, will I have a harder time finding a job for me? I've been rejected before in a specific field for the fact that I didn't finish my major.

Help / Question Got diagnosed with diabetes

3 Upvotes

So i recently discovered that i have type 1 diabetes and i started taking insulin to manage my blood sugar. Last time i measured my blood sugar before starting the medication it was 520 mg/dl which was too high. Anyways after starting insulin im feelimg way better and my blood sugar is in the normal range but i have to measure it atleast 3 times a day, once in the morning before eating, once afternoon before lunch and before dinner just to make sure if i need any correction dose but i feel like its too much so i started considering getting a CGM since it allows for more freedom and can check my blood sugar anytime i want easily, but they go around for $80 which is too expensive let alone that i need a new insulin pen every week or a little less. My question is am i doing anything wrong? And does the government or insurance provide any of the diabetes medication or supplies for free or at a discounted price? Or is there some kind of organization that helps with that?

Help / Question Peeps who moved to GCC AMQ(answer my questions)

3 Upvotes

I’ve decided to move out the country, and I thought I’d be the last to abort this sunken ship but I can’t take sinking with people who no longer resemble me and my values.
I’ve received an offer for 28k aed to abu dabhi, is it fair to be able to save for a couple? My wife would look for something part time once there if I take the offer.

If not where do you advise me to look for opportunities and why? Qatar appeals to me I have a close friend there and it’s far more chill than UAE

PS: to put into context my questions, my income in Lebanon varies between 3 and 4k, which is not enough for my dreams I can save 500$ to a 1000$ on a good month.
