Help / Question Anger issues
What do you guys recommend for a person with anger issues and anxiety?
I tend to lose control and become angry easily. Reaching a point where i start screaming and damaging household items uncontrollably until i fall to the ground.
I never hurt or hit anyone. It's just that i scream alone, hit the walls, doors, items. Until i fall to the ground and start crying, and i would have the most terrible headache + high blood pressure and heart rate
I have not always been like this. I was a calm person who sometimes gets angry, but not this way.
Life pressure and everything/everyone around have contributed to this.
Any advice?
Note: Therapy is not an option. Please do not tell me to go to therapy. I barely have enough money for the essentials

Vent / Rant If a school created ai "mini books" (cant claim but most probably is) for children, claimed they wrote them, and forced all students to pay 30$ each (first grade). Knowing that parents already paid for the books required for the school year, is that ok? Can they even do that? Looks like a loophole t
Feels like it should be illegal to me otherwise if you have a school you can basically get free money and no one will say a thing... Because... It's "School"
I might be making a big fuss about this but i felt like if at least i am right, i might as well raise awareness as it feels like forced theft which is utterly unnecessary.
30$ - 100$ or 1$ .. I don't like it when someone make money out of ignorance. Especially FORCED.

Help / Question Ogero vs IDM internet in Ashrafieh?
Hello everyone,
I'm shopping for internet around ashrafieh. I'm currently using a local private provider but the connection is beyond shit recently. We're talking 100-300KB/s downloads, frequent disconnections, etc. It's getting really annoying and the guy charges a lot compared to the service he provides. I suspect he's either sharing the account and overcharging us, OR his provider is shit.
Anywho, I've looked into Ogero and IDM and they both have really good offers for my situation in both fiber and non-fiber departments.
I don't have a landline but I'm not sure if the building has a box installed (I assume they do).
I know IDM is a middle man basically, but I value having service as reliably as possible as I work online (the speed doesn't matter that much as long as it's good enough for normal usage). So good service and customer support are paramount, I don't want to call some guy and for him to go "we'll look at it in a week or two".
Can someone advise regarding Ogero vs IDM in the area?
I'm open to other providers if there're any in the area.
Thanks in advance!

Economy I analyzed 2,161 Lebanon job listings from the last 30 days. Half came from one Lebanese recruitment site, and the median advertised salary was $1,000
Tanqeeb is a job aggregator: it collects listings from other job boards. I collected every Lebanon listing it showed for the last 30 days (Sep 16 to Oct 16, 2026), 2,161 of the 2,162 it reported, removed duplicates by listing ID, and looked at who posts them, where, and what they disclose.
1. No LinkedIn, and half from Hirelebanese
In Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Egypt and Qatar, LinkedIn was the biggest source (35 to 56% of listings). For Lebanon there are none. Hirelebanese supplies 47.6%, Naukri Gulf 39.1% and Bayt 11.3%.
Naukri Gulf also carries 208 listings posted as "Client of Hire Lebanese", and 153 of those have a title that also appears on Hirelebanese, so a good share of what looks like two boards is the same vacancies posted twice.

2. One listing in six comes from a recruiter
Recruiters and job platforms (Hire Lebanese clients, PrimeTalent, Jobs for Humanity, Expertise Recruitment and others) posted 343 listings, 15.9%. Another 261 (12.1%) name no company at all. The biggest named employer is the UN (64 listings, counting its careers-portal posts), then Beautypulse Arabia (54).

3. 8% show a salary; the median is $1,000 a month
Bayt shows a salary on 14.3% of its listings, Hirelebanese 13.4%, Naukri Gulf 0 of 844. Some Hirelebanese jobs that show a salary appear on Naukri Gulf under the same title and company without it (43 of them).
Among the 123 listings with a monthly dollar figure, the median advertised midpoint is $1,000 (10% under $550, 10% over $1,850). I left out hourly and per-project rates, and 37 salaries labelled "LBP" with amounts like "LBP 800-1000", which are almost certainly dollars. It's a small sample, mostly from one site, so it describes these listings, not pay across Lebanon.

4. Other things that stood out
- Beirut is 96.5% of listings. Mount Lebanon 29, Beqaa 26, North 17, South 1. Labels are as published, so some "Beirut" jobs may be just outside the city.
- Sales is the biggest category (26.4%), then accounting and finance (9.3%). The most common title is Accountant.
- 99% full-time, 99% on-site. Remote or hybrid: 1.1%.
- The weekend is dead: about 11 new listings on a Saturday and 15 on a Sunday, against 81 to 98 on weekdays.

Limits: these are listings on one aggregator, not all jobs in Lebanon or people hired. About 30% look like repeats (same title, company and governorate), often the same vacancy on two boards; counting each once leaves 1,512 distinct roles. One listing can cover several positions. A missing salary does not mean a job is unpaid. No personal data was collected (Tanqeeb cards can include recruiter contact details; those were skipped).
Source: public listings on Lebanon Tanqeeb com.
For people job-hunting in Lebanon: does $1,000 match the offers you see? And do you find most jobs through recruiters now?

Help / Question Is there any way to get village records other than coming in person?
Like many people, I have Maronite Lebanese heritage. Family emigrated around 1890. I’ve been trying to dig up records from their village, Bazoun, in North Lebanon. Daniel, Chaaya, Elias, etc families.
I ran into a Family Search page with the two Mukhtars numbers but no reply there.
Any advice? I’d love to visit one day but I’m also impatient and I’ve been looking for years.

Vent / Rant Biel, what is wrong with you?
I, am a big fan of book fairs. I love books, I grew up with books, every year my parents would take me to biel, which is a book fair in Lebanon, seaside arena. Never in my life, I remember, seeing political books in biel. It was mostly children books, young fiction, and literature. But, what the hell, actually happened this year.
Im a freelance photographer, and my sister works in the book fair. Her team, has a booth, and I went there to take picture and overall help plus see the book fair. Bro, I was terrified, I was creeper out. It was all, about Iran and Khamenei and NasrAllah. I dont mind, its a book, a book is a book. It doesn't have a religion or an identity or anything. But the amount, of people, booths, about this specific political party, that, for me, as a young Lebanese, hate so bad. Btw, I have never harmed anyone who loves this political party and I dont care, but, the sheer amount of them, being there, terrified me.
We should, let kids, the youth of Lebanon, the teenagers, love books, not political parties, not politics, not people who support death and war in the name of peace. Where is the literature, where are the colorful books that would make a kid fall in love or like reading?!
I think Lebanon should have a policy on how book fairs should be concluded. No political books or political images in those national book fairs. There are online book shops, there are libraries outside the book fair that are selling political books, go to them if you live that topic. Dont let our kids see the war and the destruction by those politicians that you support inflict them and make them have ideas

Politics Genuine question, why is Lebanon so divided?
I've come to realize how corrupt, disgusting, and terrible Lebanon is when it comes to the Government, and proxy-groups.
For reference, I'm an adult, and a university student, and I've heard a many great deal of things such as proxy-group posters being set up in university campuses without permission, spreading propaganda, and whatnot.
What I don't understand is how can people actually see this, and accept it? How can one witness a proxy-group spread propaganda around teenagers asking them to participate in a war?
And I won't act like I support these proxy-groups as well. This extends to the Nabih Berri's Amal group, and Hezbollah. I get some people possess hatred towards Israel, but that hatred literally fuels infighting and discourse. When the Palestine-Israel conflict had begun, we weren't targeted; once the proxy-groups began firing missiles, it was only then that Israel had begun their second advancement into the Southern Territories of Lebanon.
Majority of the influence these proxy-groups hold are primarily over individuals that are not wealthy, basically, they possess influence over the poor. I am not wrong.
Lebanon won't change so long as the people refuse to actually acknowledge that the problems start with the people they inherently support that are so backwards and criminal. The country being divided amongst sectarian groups is also primarily one of the reasons Lebanon is facing a terrible recession. The Lebanese Constitution needs to be changed in my opinion, but before that, the government itself requires an in-depth and thorough change.
You can consider this radical, but what's truly radical is that the proxy-group that intends to 'Free Lebanon' had promised to kill those who oppose their movement.
There is a difference between politically good, and politically bad.
The civil war played a big part in what Lebanon has ultimately become, allowing countries like Iran to imbed their proxy-groups into deep parts of Lebanon's political framework, inherently causing the country to enter a sectarian-division.
This is further proven by how racist Lebanon has become, how religiously racist the country has also become. You can be a Muslim, or a Christian and still face racism from those of your own sect.
Shiia's and Sunni's are constantly at odd's with one another, but why? There's literally no point. Christians and Muslims are at odd's with one another, but why? There's no point, likewise with the Druze.
My point is, and no matter how you view it - is the truth. The country's division primarily stems from political interference from other Middle Eastern countries, namely Iran, who spreads their ideology in a light that completely fabricates their entire goals into something that feels righteous.
It's right to judge the conflict between Palestine and Israel, but that doesn't mean dragging separate countries you've got under your hands into the conflict when you could do it yourself.
You might not like the sound of this, but Lebanon is more of a puppet state than it's own indigenous country. Our politics are backed by separate countries, proxy-groups target children and teenagers, and people are killed for simply holding a different belief than others.
