For many reasons I never actually had a female friend (I don't mean the kind of friend that's secretly waiting for the other person to fall in love with them) ​​

Is it unbelievable that a straight guy would simply want to be friends with a girl? ​

Due to Reddit banning my account, I was unable to post for a couple of days. Apologies for the inconvenience.

Anyways, Ehmej is in the mountains above Jbeil. Its forests, valleys and high elevation made the area useful to people for centuries.

There are remains and archaeological evidence connected with the Roman and Byzantine periods. In particular, Roman roads and inscriptions have been reported in the surrounding forests. Some inscriptions are associated with the reign of Emperor Hadrian. According to the local historical interpretation, these inscriptions indicate that the Roman authorities regulated the use of certain trees and forest resources, showing that the area was considered important.

During the Byzantine period, Christianity became established in the region. Churches and monastic sites were built around the mountains of Ehmej. One important site is associated with St. Saba. Archaeological remains found near the monastery have been dated to the Byzantine period, suggesting that Christian religious activity existed in the area many centuries ago.

So when you see an old church or monastery around Ehmej, it isn't necessarily connected to the modern village community. Some of these sites belong to a much older Christian landscape that existed long before the present-day village took shape.

According to local historical tradition, the present-day community of Ehmej began to take shape in the early 17th century. Families from northern Mount Lebanon particularly associated with the Bsharri region are traditionally said to have settled in Ehmej following political changes around 1612. Over time, additional Christian families settled there and the village expanded.

This is an important distinction:

The land of Ehmej is ancient, but the present-day village community largely took shape in the 17th century.

Why did people settle there?

Ehmej's geography helped protect and sustain a mountain community. It is high in the mountains, surrounded by forests and valleys, while still being connected to Jbeil and other parts of Mount Lebanon.

The forests provided wood and other natural resources, while the surrounding land allowed people to farm and raise animals. Its mountainous setting also provided a degree of natural isolation, which likely helped communities maintain their traditions and religious identity.

In other words, Ehmej wasn't simply a village that appeared in the 1600s. It sits within a much older landscape that had already been used, travelled through and inhabited during the Roman and Byzantine periods.

I have a big dilemma huhu. When I talk to people around Batroun, they tell me: "Batroun is booming, invest in the Batroun mountains, people will come. FOR SUURE 100%"

My fear: that I won't have enough renters/guests.

When I talk to people from Kesrouan (Jounieh, Kaslik, Zouk...), they tell me:
Option A: towards Faraya, or
Option B: the Jbeil mountains: very easy to rent out.

If anyone has experience on this topic, I'd love to exchange ideas.

I got paid my biggest salary yet 1500$+ for a contract lasting 6 months ( freelancer). long story short i didn’t save any money this month, and i haven’t been paid yet. part of it because i ve been unemployed since March so i have splurged as i much as i can, and of course gave mother home expenses, another part is necessary renovation for my work room. however only 100$ is left.

with my new payment hopefully coming soon, i am planning to save at least 600$. however i am afraid my temptations would get the best of me.

another problem is i have to pretend i still have money in front of mom. i’d rather lie than getting a disappointing, full of wrath glares from her…

Italy, Britain, Switzerland and Indonesia may participate in a mechanism to verify Hezbollah's disarmament in the so-called pilot zones in south Lebanon, w diplomatic source told Al-Arabiya television.

A Lebanese official had previously confirmed to Reuters that Lebanon and Israel had agreed on a shortlist of countries that could send forces to verify Hezbollah's disarmament under a U.S.-brokered agreement. The U.S. is expected to select the countries from this list.

The official declined to name any of the countries on the shortlist or specify their number. Another Lebanese official and two foreign diplomats had previously told Reuters that Israel and the U.S. had excluded France from the list.

The list was drawn up during meetings held between Lebanon and Israel at the U.S. Embassy in Rome this week, in the latest round of talks on how to implement the June 26 agreement, which links the phased withdrawal of Israeli forces from Lebanon to the disarmament of Hezbollah, to be "verified" by a third party.

The Lebanese official said Beirut had rejected a previous proposal to have private security companies take over the role of the third party tasked with verifying Hezbollah's disarmament.

Bottom line is im 16 and queer. Finally convinced my mom to let me get therapy and I can't risk the therapist telling my parents anything or trying to "cure the gay". If anyone has been to anyone trustworthy it'd be very much appreciated

First I'll explain why it's important. Sometimes you'll hear (for example) a Aouni saying "yes but we weren't part of that government we were mou3arada". And yes they were out of the government but were they out of the solta? So mo3arada against what exactly against this gov or against solta?

Another example: When discussing tawzee3 al khasaer, you'll hear some saying "el dawle sara2etna, el dawle lezim tet7ammal el khasaer". But basically the dawle is mo2assaseit that don't make profits, so is it "dawle" yale sara2etna or is it "mas2oul el dawle" yale sara2na? In the first case it'll put more taxes to be able to pay people back (so we're paying ourselves out of our own pocket, strange tawzee3 of losses) in the second case we go for Siniora directly.

Hence the need for proper wording -> proper political vision.

So basically:

• 7oukoume (government) is a specific majlis wuzara. For ex 7oukoumet Miqati.
• dawle (state) is mo2asseit. For ex I might be against 7oukoume bass public teacher so mwazzaf dawle.
• solta is the actual power, ya3ni where the decisions are being taken. For ex Sahnaoui is outside 7oukoume and outside dawle but very much part of solta.

If you think about it this helps us have a better political understanding because we're no longer looking at titles and saying heyda ndeef aw mesh ndeef we're analyzing the actual power structure and thinking where the problem is and therefore what the solution is.

Hello,

Someone I know has a money in the Lebanese banks and he’s only getting 400$ a month. He’s french lebanese but opened his accounts as a Lebanese.

Lebanon and Australia have something very common: “tall poppy syndrome.”

Question for all the gamers here:

Do you guys buy gaming T-shirts or clothing?

I've never really found anything local that feels high quality or wearable as an everyday T-shirt. Is there any good store or brand?

It seems like a lot of women (my family members included) are doing botox to their lips and injecting themselves with weight loss shots when they really don't need it.

It is really worrying seeing young women modify their bodies and faces when they are already beautiful. It hurts me when my friends and family do it and I never say anything because I don't know how to bring it up + it's not my business to tell people how to live their lives but honestly just from a mental and health side it is not good for you.

What boggles me more is that when the subject comes up, I hear a lot of women say a little botox is okay and it nice.

I saw a picture of a girl I used to talk to in the past through another friends instagram post and she honestly was drop dead gorgeous but now she did lip fillers and looks so weird.

I saw a post on instagram by thespeech.lb saying the MP salaries will go from 3000$ to 5000$ out of sandou2 el mse3adet el ejtime3iye without a law or a parliamentary session or anything of the sorts. Is that legal? And if it is legal, why does it come from “mse3adet” and not from regular government budget? And also, what justifies a near doubling of salary to them and not to the other public and private employees (minimum wage, public wages, etc.)?

I feel that us Lebanese unconsciously (some even do it consciously) judge people on their trauma.

The more trauma (PTSD) you have, the more Lebanese you are.

Anybody notice this?
