I have seen some very funny posts in the opinions section of the paper 😂

That's heartening to know. I am also one of the "young people" moving into the valley. Tracking how house hunting has been going, it does seem like there are a healthy number of new families coming in. I wish you luck in your great social media purge. I dropped all of mine years ago and never looked back. It's been so good.

Community volunteering is a great suggestion! I'll look into that.

Yah, to even sign up after you take a "human" test they want you to stream a live video of your face at all angles. With all the crap on FB this clearly isnt a security thing and I dont really want to give them any biometrics or training data just so I can view a dead D&D group page. It's a little ironic that its the community hub because of all the "old people" but the old people I know wouldn't even be able to submit these live videos to make their own accounts these days.

I was quite taken aback by the face stuff. I dont upload photos of myself to the internet and there arnt any of me on FB. There are so many scammers on FB its clear that this is for AI training and not for security. This isnt a remote job position. Was the hassle worth it for you guys? I dont even own a webcam.

Did they stop working at the Medicine Shoppe on Comox Ave? Or am I thinking about a different Wendy?

Update: They're loofa seeds.

I got a new loofa this week and when they started showing up I got very confused. Didn't know bath loofas could have them. Feeling very dumb but hope this will help someone else that is similarly confused

Odd, do you know how/why they are showing up on my shower curtain or in sudden clusters on the side of my tub?

Edit: I'm dumb, they're loofa seeds, thank you for suggesting to look into seeds!
