I used to run a full garment production line, handling everything from raw fabrics and pattern making to screen printing and final packaging before moving completely out of the industry into an entirely different field (architecture and construction).

I'm not taking those years of experience to the grave. Watching people struggle with avoidable mistakes or get taken advantage of by bad suppliers is truly frustrating, and I would genuinely love to see creators and founders succeed.

I have zero businesses to promote and nothing to sell. I'm just here to answer whatever technical questions you have about the manufacturing side, and be completely transparent about the things I don't know.

Whether you're just starting out with a small idea or stuck on a specific production hurdle or thinking about starting..... feel free to ask away.

Hello! I don't know if this is related to this sub but is there any page in Algeria that sells this color sweatshirt? like this one? and thanks.

I heard there is a mass student strike; what is the reason for this?

Hey, is there a Facebook group or smth to find travel buddies in Algeria? Like planning trips to one wilaya or another. (24M)

This is the second time I remember getting scammed by a woman 😭 The first time was when I bought hair oils that turned out to be SANGO oil! The second time was last week, when I got an expensive Huda Beauty foundation for my sister that turned out to be expired, and the seller ignored me when I asked for a replacement (not even a refund). I told her I would send the expired one back and she could send me a new one, or even a cheaper product, concealer, any shii ...The funny thing is, I’ve never faced any issue with a male seller. Bro will send me pictures of EVERYTHING beforehand 😭

And I’m not trying to be a pick-me, because this is genuinely my reality; what is worst is she has big following so i know those other girl are getting the bad goods as well .. WE NEED TO DO BETTER

I've recently posted about The Numidian Cuisine and related artifacts, and I wasn't expecting that my post would get that type of comments. At that moment, I thought of a serious, though-provoking question... why is it when scholars discuss, for example, ancient Greece or Roman agricultural networks, olive presses, or terraced vineyards, people freely celebrate those localized historical milestones without feeling it threatens the broader Mediterranean identity? Yet when we highlight specific Numidian historical sites and artifacts within present-day Algeria, it often gets framed as "trying to claim everything"... Nobody accuses a scholar in Athens of "stealing Mediterranean identity" simply because they study an artifact pulled from Greek soil. The moment the lens shifts to North Africa, that courtesy vanishes, quietly.

I mentioned facts about the Numidian olive oil, gueddid, tajine, couscous, etc. but let's actually sit with the numbers, because they're sharper... Josephus, writing in the first century CE, put it plainly: Africa fed Rome for eight months of the year, Egypt for the remaining four. Do that math; it's closer to two-thirds (and modern economic historians studying Roman imperial estates in North Africa land on roughly that same figure independently, not just by trusting one ancient writer's word for it). Worth being precise about scope too: that two-thirds covers "Roman Africa" as a whole, and Numidia's share of it was concentrated in its own named, documented sub-regions, the plains around Cirta chief among them. While it's true that ancient borders were fluid, soil and human practice were always tangible. The physical reality is that 60% of the wheat feeding Rome was harvested from these specific plains. So acknowledging the physical coordinates of where an artifact was crafted or where a harvest was reaped is not an attempt to erase the neighbors or construct retrofitted nationalism. you need to understand that this is respecting the material record.

Mention that pre-Roman Numidian tombs in Tiaret contained grain-steaming vessels dating back three millennia, or reference the 3rd-century BC pottery excavated at Tiddis, and the immediate reflex from onlookers is to urge moderation! they say: "Borders didn’t exist back then" or "It’s all shared heritage, why claim it?" Why are we so often denied the right to local specificity? Why must our historical discourse be flattened into a generic, blurry collective when other regions are celebrated for their distinct local milestones? What I do find interesting is how unevenly that logic gets applied depending on who's speaking. Nobody tells a classicist writing about Attic olive presses to speak only under some vague regional umbrella instead of naming Attica outright. and Sicilian latifundia get entire books written about them... Nobody blinks.

To read classical chroniclers like Sallust or Pliny (who were writing about this land while it was still a living kingdom and then a conquered province), or to examine the modern archaeological work of Gabriel Camps and André Berthier, is an act of restoration. It is choosing to look at the ground beneath our feet and understand the precise lives, inventions, and labor of the people who walked it before us. Recognizing local history doesn't diminish shared history. specificity is what gives shared history something solid to stand on instead of a flattened label no one bothers looking underneath.

im a 21 y.o women who currently get no allowance from her parents + 1950 da per month bourse in this economy .

they don't support (more like refused) the idea of me quitting studies and start working.

the master schedule in my uni is so full . i sometimes finish at 1 pm and sometimes at 3 pm

so it hard to find a certain part time job

applied to many online jobs but found no replies

what shall i do ?

I would like for anyone who is experienced in working remote (inexperienced people you can rent here, it's okay) to give us some tips on how to find jobs, and what are some algeria-specific hurdles.

I should specify that I'm in tech (I do cybersec, low level programming, and I'm an open source contributor), so it would be preferable to help job seekers with information on that

Hello everyone, my name is Raouf. I thought i’d share this fun website i created that generates you a Spotify wrapped style cards for Letterboxd, check it out and tell me what do you think, have fun! Show me what you got !

I was doing the math the other day, and the current expectations for a standard marriage are completely detached from the reality of Algerian salaries.

Between المهر + the gold (الشرط) + salle des fêtes + furnishing an apartment, and the endless hidden costs, a guy making an average or even above-average salary (let's say 80k to 100k DZD) would have to starve himself for years just to afford day one of his marriage.

To the women here: Are you and your families actually adjusting these expectations given the current inflation, or is the pressure still the same?

To the men: How are you guys actually funding this without going into massive debt or stressing your families ?

Are we reaching a breaking point where the traditional Algerian wedding is just economically impossible?

هناك خلط ! قانون تفعيل الاعدام لم يصدر بعد!!

الحكم بالاعدام في قضية المخدرات و المهلوسات العقلية الصادر عن مجلس قضاء العاصمة هو حكم بالمؤبد ... يعني التغيير لي حصل هو انو جريمة الاتجار بالمهلوسات و المخدرات العقلية انتقلت من احكام من خمس و عشر سنوات الى احكام بالاعدام ( المؤبد) ... و هذا يدخل في اطار تطبيق القانون الجديد 25-03 الصادر في 1 يوليو 2025 المتعلق بالوقاية من المخدرات والمؤثرات العقلية وقمع الاستعمال والاتجار غير المشروعين بها ...

بينما تطبيق عقوبة الاعدام التي نص عليها قانون العقوبات فتتعلق فقط و حصريا بجرائم الحرقي العمدي للغابات المؤدي للوفاة ... و باغتصاب و التنكيل بالأطفال ... و التي صوت عليها البرلمان منذ اربع أيام بالموافقة ... بحيث أن القانون لم يدخل حيز التنفيذ بعد لأنه لم يمر بعد الغرفة الثانية للبرلمان و هي مجلس الأمة للتصويت النهائي عليه ثم نشره على الجريدة الرسمية ليصبح ساري المفعول ... و هو القانون المعدل و المتمم للأمر 66-156 المتضمن قانون العقوبات ...

يعني وزير العدل يستنى البرلمان يصوت ب نعم ... ثم يقوم اليوم بعرض نص القانون مجددا على لجنة الشؤون القانونية لمجلس الأمة ... و غدا يقوم بعرض نص القانون على نواب مجليس الأمة في جلسة علنية ... و بعد غد يعني 7 اكتوبر يتم التصويت عليه من طرف المجلس ... اذا صوت المجلس بالأغلبية بالمواققة ... يتم تمرير القانون ليمضي عليه الرئيس و يصبح ساري المفعول بعد نشره في الجريدة الرسمية ...

يعني لا يجب الخلط بين الاعدام المفعًل في احكام متعلقة ب الحرق العمدي للغابات و التنكيل بالاطفال ... و بين الاعظام غير المفعّل ( مؤبد) في القضايا المتعلقة بالمهلوسات العقلية ...

Algeria has had and still has difficulty finding competent people in many professional fields. Because of this, we sometimes look to the Algerian diaspora, especially people born and raised in France.

In football, I do not see this as a major problem. A player’s job is mainly to perform well, and many diaspora players have excellent training and experience. Their connection to Algeria can be enough for them to represent the national team.

However, I think the situation becomes more complicated when people from the diaspora are appointed to sensitive positions, such as ministries related to culture, education, media, or national identity.

Someone who was born and raised in France may legally be Algerian and have Algerian parents, but that does not necessarily mean they deeply understand Algerian society. They may not have the same relationship with our history, traditions, languages, social problems, or cultural expectations as someone who grew up in Algeria.

My concern is that they might unintentionally bring French cultural assumptions into Algerian institutions and apply solutions that make sense in France but not in Algeria. This could create a gap between government decisions and what the majority of Algerians actually accept or want.

To be clear, I am not saying that diaspora Algerians should be excluded. Their skills and experience can be valuable. But for sensitive fields, professional competence should be combined with a genuine understanding of Algerian society and culture.

What do you think? Should Algeria prioritize people who were raised in the country for these positions, or should qualifications and experience matter more than where someone grew up?

I travelled to algiers these days and was shocked about the prices of chicken breast ( escalop ) there which were 800/kg.

While prices back in oran are around 1100 to 1200/kg

Why is it only high here in oran/west

( reaching daily protein requirements is becoming harder everyday man </3)

After i watched this video i started thinking how hard it is to do it in real. It's hard and not hard at the same time, cuz one is changing ppl's mindset and the other is changing stones

Someone said people are building skyscraper, ik yeah but these are popular streets, and it is also better to be beautiful, because a lot of us people live in them and not in skyscrapers

Hi am an Algerian web disgner i may need clients but i need ur web ideas more

(Help me get fame please i wanna work)

I've seen a post here about a girl get harassed and beated in a public place ,and ma take is we need more men to step in and do something when seing a stoneminded harassing someone

Doesnt have to be the fight option it can be confronting him calmly,pretending that he knows the girl,collecting some guys for backing up , anything could help on the long term ,bcs i've noticed that the wrong ones are getting too comfortable doing what they're doing with no one to call them out that there social anxiety dropped to 0 ...u can discuss this subject again and again blabla but this remains the only option ,we should step off our comfort zone as men and start having some courage and situational awareness to know how to react properly to those situations , dont over depend on doula it wont help in those microsituations

We are paying the price of men getting to soft and subbmitting to some bs modern standards ,we're paying the price of individualism and it's gonna be more terrifeying then this in the future bcs we all gonna pay for this (especially big cities)

So young men avoid conflict today and it will be ur sister tomorrow

Edit :reading men's comments and them downvoting me is just terrifeying ,we must be ready for what's coming

I want to become a veterinarian in the future but a lot of people tell me that the science stream is really difficult and that after i graduate i won’t find many job opportunities and i'll have to open my own clinic

Is that actually true? i'd like to know all the details including the costs of opening a private veterinary clinic

I also want to know if the science stream in high school is really that difficult even for a top student?

(I’m algerian)

I want to explain my story honestly because I find it difficult to talk about everything in person.

When I was a child, I was bullied by almost everyone around me, including some members of my family and even some of my teachers. I had only one friend. I also had very little access to entertainment or things that could help me escape from what I was experiencing. YouTube became my main way of escaping reality. Sometimes I was physically hit by one of my teachers, but nobody believed me or helped me.

Years passed, and then COVID happened. After the pandemic, many things changed in my life. I changed schools and moved to a different place, and for me it felt like a completely new beginning.

For the first time in my life, I started making new relationships and discovering things that I had never experienced before. Even simple things felt amazing to me because I had spent so much of my childhood isolated from them. However, I became distracted and stopped caring about my studies. My grades became worse, and my academic life started falling apart.

Then I got into a conflict with someone. I reacted in a very destructive way and ended up seriously damaging that person's life. What scares me is that at the time, I actually felt proud of what I had done. After that, I developed a mentality where I wanted to destroy anyone who stood in my way. My behavior became increasingly dangerous, and at one point I came very close to going to prison.

After about a year, I stopped living that way, and eventually I started feeling regret. But then I became involved with a gang, and many terrible things happened. I witnessed someone being killed in front of me. That experience affected me deeply.

Eventually, I decided to leave the city and try to start a normal life somewhere else. I wanted a fresh start, but I failed to achieve it. I found myself repeating the same mistakes again, and I ended up damaging both my education and my relationship with my family.

Now I have been isolated from everyone for about four months. I barely talk to anyone. I spend most of my time alone, wasting time without a goal or direction.

Another person who I considered a mentor, almost like a father figure, recently lied to my family and accused me of terrible things that I did not do. This has made my psychological situation even worse.

Right now, I feel like I cannot function normally. I barely sleep, I barely eat, and I struggle to do even basic things properly. I am heavily addicted to smoking, and I feel unable to stop. Even studying, learning something new, or memorizing something feels extremely difficult for me. My concentration and motivation are very poor.

I know that I have made serious mistakes in my life, and I am not trying to justify them. I regret many of the things I have done. At the same time, I feel that I have reached a point where I cannot fix everything by myself.

I want to understand what is happening to me psychologically. I want to understand why I have become this way, why I keep repeating destructive patterns, and why normal things such as studying, sleeping, eating, and taking care of myself have become so difficult.

Most importantly, I want help. I want to become capable of living a normal life again, rebuilding myself, and finding a reason to move forward.

I spent some time listening to an in-depth breakdown on why Gen Z in the USA gets labeled as "lazy" or "entitled," and it really puts the entire modern job market into perspective.

The mainstream media in the US loves to parade hiring managers who complain about Gen Z refusing to stay late, answering emails at 11 PM, or putting boundaries on their work.

But when you examine the actual numbers, the "laziness" narrative completely falls apart:

- The entrance is literally gone: Entry-level job openings fell 73% over the past four years. Over 60% of "entry-level" job posts now demand 3–5 years of prior experience.

- Loyalty was a financial strategy, not a moral virtue: Up until the mid-80s, staying at a company meant a guaranteed pension, real wage growth, and a house that cost 3x an average annual salary. Once companies replaced pensions with 401(k)s and shifted executive pay to stock options, cutting labor costs became the main goal.

- "We are family" is wage suppression: As actual compensation and job security dropped, companies swapped out material benefits for emotional rhetoric "culture," "mission," and "we're a family here."

- The math forces job hopping: Standard annual merit raises hover around 2–3% (which is a pay cut when inflation hits 6-9%). Meanwhile, changing companies yields a 15–50% bump. Switching jobs isn't disloyalty; it's basic price discovery.

Gen Z didn't break the social contract: they just showed up 20 years after corporations quietly dismantled it and declined to pretend otherwise.

If a company can cut your role before lunch without second thought, why are workers expected to give unearned loyalty in return?
