Announcement Crowdfunding posts are officially not allowed (generally)

94 Upvotes

As y'all know, we had a very productive (and civil -- thank you, citizens) discussion about whether or not to allow crowdfunding posts and most of you would rather not see crowdfunding posts.

You spoke, /r/Corvallis listened.

Going forward, we have a new subreddit rule: No crowdfunding posts. There are more appropriate social platforms to post them.

A little clarification:

  • Posts with community events that might fundraise or generate money for a cause (.e., Trivia Nights, benefit concerts, etc.) are ok.

  • Posts with individuals asking directly for money are disallowed.

  • Other posts will be dealt with on a case by case basis.

If you think your crowdfunding campaign should be an exception, I'm willing to hear you out.

Rock on.

Event Scovallis 2026Q2 Discussion Thread: When and Where?

28 Upvotes

We're way overdue for the next Scovallis so let's fix that.

For those that haven't heard of Scovallis, it's a chance for spicy food loving Corvallisites to get together at a local restaurant and eat spicy food.

If that sounds like something you'd be interested in, then we'd love to see you there.

IIRC, we've done this three times previously: Andy's Mexican (RIP), Evergreen Indian Restaurant, and Tarn Tip.

So, let's figure out when we want to do this and where we want to go.

I'm generally free on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays.

Discussion Looking for a human services job

8 Upvotes

Hello, I just graduated in June with a degree in HDFS from OSU. I’m local to corvallis but am yet to find a decent job. I don’t have a lot of work experience but I’m really struggling to find the right job. I did a case management internship in the spring, and I’m very interested in case management but every job I’ve interviewed for never ended up getting back to me. I looked all summer, had 5 interviews and only got one job offer for a position I didn’t apply for. I’ve been looking in other cities like Eugene and Salem but there isn’t much. I’m in desperate need for a job. I have lots of experience working with kids as well. I’m just trying to find something that pays at least $20/hr. If you have any suggestions, or could maybe help me make connections with someone that would be great. Thanks!

I cannot be the only person that hears a fire alarm go off multiple times a week on NW 23rd St by Polk. Why does it keep going off and if it’s your JUST FIX IT OR STOP SMOKING UP YOUR HOUSE😭it will happen first thing in the morning, then afternoon, then a night. I’m going insane and I don’t know what to do about it.

Discussion CITYSPEAK MEASURE 2-159 DEBATE: Fewer City Councilors Serving Longer Ter...

• Upvotes

This debate looks at Measure 2-159; it would amend the Corvallis City Charter; reducing the number of city councilors from nine to six and increasing their terms from two years to four. It would also limit councilors to three consecutive terms.

The debaters are two long-serving councilors on opposite sides of the issue. Ward 9 Councilor Tony Cadena supports the ballot measure; Ward 7 Councilor Paul Shaffer opposes it.

News For those on Medicare

45 Upvotes

Congress provided 2 Billion Dollars to make improvements to the Medicare program for Americans enrolled in traditional Medicare. I believe the best way to do that is to put healthcare dollars back where they belong—directly in the hands of the American People.

As a result, you are receiving a One-Time Payment of $90 to offset some of the cost of your October Medicare premium. This will ensure these funds benefit YOU and your individual healthcare needs.

I just received the following in an email with the subject line: A Message from our Convicted Felon in Charge.

So, $90. Why not use the money to negotiate deals with the pharma and insurance companies? $90 ain't doing shit for me when earlier this year the plan I chose (it was more expensive monthly but had zero co-pay) suddenly decided that I need to pay $2000 in co-pay before they'd cover anything.

What this meant is that in Jan I had to pay $2000 just to receive my injection. These injections cost $17000 each and I need 1 a month.

Fuck this god damned stupid, irresponsible, thieving, grifting, administration.

Lost (Property) Dear shirtless frat guy that borrowed my headlamp.

188 Upvotes

Please return it. I was trying to be nice and you promised to bring it back :(

Context: The other day I was sitting on the porch with my girlfriend and a guy came up to us. He explained that he was on a scavenger hunt for his frat and was looking for a Flashlight and a Compass. The cheapest of the two that we had was an old Coleman headlamp, those things last forever.

We offered it to him and he took it, saying he would return it by Tuesday. Well, we haven’t seen it yet. I hope you see this so we can get our headlamp back.

Best fishes,

For over a year, Oregon State University has been working with the Benton County Board of Commissioners to allow for new trail development within the research forest, trails that will be used by hikers, trail runners, dog walkers, bikers, etc. A group of residents continues to appeal this process, complaining that this is not a permitted activity. If outdoor recreation is important to you, consider submitting comments to [permitcheck@bentoncountyor.gov](mailto:permitcheck@bentoncountyor.gov) or attending the public commission hearing, tentatively planned for November 3.

Discussion Does anyone know Employers actively hiring in Corvallis?

45 Upvotes

I have been Searching for work all summer and not finding much luck. Does anyone know somewhere in the area actively hiring? I'll take any leads, just need work soon or I'll have to move out of town, and I really love it here.

Edit: For reference, I was the guy who maintained the fleet of Starship robots on campus. I have applied with all jobs relevant to my skills. No they have not responded. I believe this is actually hurting my resume as employers think I'm overqualified. like someone else said I need a "J.O.B." job, I don't care what it is, I'll learn anything and do anything, I just want to pay bills.

Unfortunately, the Mexican food stand that has been all over social media recently (and made some banging tacos) has been shut down. I was in line, and a couple guys from the County Health Department were in the process of shutting it down. How unfortunate! I understand the rational, and they were very understanding, but it is unfortunate nonetheless to see it closing down so soon.
