What would you tell your past self?

Suppose you could have a conversation with your 2018 self — but it wouldn’t change the future.

Before the Thawra, the financial collapse, the fuel and electricity shortages. Before the port explosion, COVID, the crypto/NFT craze, the AI job apocalypse, Ukraine war, Oct 7, and the wars in Lebanon.

What would you say? And do you think your 2018 self would even believe you?

وزارة الصحة اللبنانية :

منذ بدء العدوان الأخير حتى الآن سُجل 394 شهيدًا بينهم 83 طفل و42 سيدة و1300 جريح بينهم 254 طفل و274 سيدة

How many humans has israel killed since the start of oct 7? I'm talking like the combinations of gazans lebanese syrians yemenis iranians. Like holy shit it's probably 1 million. They are the most evil people in the world. Not a single word in the dictionary can explain their actions. It's beyond comprehension.

Genetics and Arab Identity Explained

We are not Arab rhetorics and the annoyance of it

I won’t be going into history nor culture, strictly genetics.

In genetics, the term “Arab” refers to a broad and diverse population grouping with same ancestral roots. Certain genetic markers—most commonly haplogroups J1 and J2—are often associated with populations historically linked to the Arabian Peninsula. Phoenicians, Canaanites, Bedouins, Egyptians and Berbers (to a lesser extent). They all share overlapping haplogroup variants (J1 and J2) due to ancient common ancestry and long-term regional interaction.

While originating from related ancestral populations, present-day Arab-speaking peoples are genetically heterogeneous. This diversity is the result of extensive mixing with indigenous populations in the Levant, North Africa, and Mesopotamia following historical migrations and expansions.

Populations in the UAE and Saudi Arabia largely descend from nomadic or semi-nomadic Bedouin tribes. Kuwait represents a mixture of Bedouin ancestry from the Arabian Peninsula alongside overlapping Iraqi and Iranian gene pools. Moroccans are predominantly Amazigh (Berber). The ancient inhabitants of Libya were indigenous North African peoples known to the Egyptians as the Libu and Meshwesh (Ma) tribes—part of the broader Amazigh population—who lived in the region long before Arab, Greek, or Roman arrivals. Modern genetic studies suggest continuity between ancient Levantine populations and present-day groups: Lebanese are often associated with Phoenician ancestry, while Palestinians are linked to Canaanites—in fact are the same (very similar) related peoples historically and genetically. And so on.

However all of these groups do share J1 and J2 haplogroups, therefore we may conclude, that genetically, all are somewhat related to the same gene pool and therefore are Arab.

This is what we mean by ethnically Arab: a shared gene pool to varying degrees. While understanding one’s ethnicity can be useful—for medical history, genetic predispositions, or simple curiosity—it should never dictate how we treat others or inte...

Sabra and Shatila, October 7, and Double Standards

Why is sabra and shatila condemned but October 7 justified?

Everything people rightly accuse Israel of doing to Palestinians, the palestinians done to Lebanese primarily to Lebanese Christian’s however ask any Arab/leftist what they think about October 7 and they will tell you it was justified act of resistance from the native population against foreign invaders etc but the same people who support October 7 condemn sabra and Shatila.

Killing Jews at a music festival wasn’t going to liberate Palestine but it was still ok in the eyes of many across the Arab world so then why shouldn’t sabra and shatila also be viewed in the same way?

Balaio: Lebanon’s First Thrifting App

I just released Lebanon's first ever thrifting application :)

Hello, I know this isn't really like most of the posts on this subreddit, but I don't really know where else to share this. My friend and I have spent the last year of our lives fully committed to making Lebanon's first ever thrifting application, and we called it Balaio.

In this app we made, everyone can sell and everyone can buy, meaning we essentially created a marketplace for vintage, preloved, and thrifted clothes. I don't know how many people this post will reach but I really wanted to put this out there somewhere

Here are the links if anyone wants to download it:
Apple: https://apps.apple.com/app/balaio/id6757596439
Playstore: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.balaio.app
Website: Balaioapp.com

Idk if this post is even allowed, but i wanted to at least give it a shot. thank you to anyone who ends up downloading it
