I hear you. I spent most of fmy social time as a teenager in those new-fangled chat rooms in the mid-late nineties and I don’t think I ever really learned to socialize properly in person. Lol. That said, I don’t find the newness of this platform too daunting. I was one of the people who left Digg back in the day too.

I do miss my May 2023 baby bumps group now that I’m on maternity leave and have a lot of down time feeding the little one though. It’s not like it’s easy for me to leave the house with a toddler and a newborn even if I was to join a real life parenting social group.

Ontario is now top of the list.

Yeah, this is probably the highest educated genre by necessity.

In the last line of the article some restaurant person said “it’s very popular with people and runs out within the first half hour” . . . but perhaps the general population isn’t sure what to do with them yet, as much as the chefs do anyway.

I don’t understand how they think this is going to help staffing when they will be unable to find staff in areas where there is a higher cost of living.

The hormones really carry you through. Lol. And at least it’s relatively short with a positive end goal.
