People should stop doing voluntary stuff they no longer have the resources or motivation to do, boundaries, rest and self care are good actually.<br/><br/>Secondly: the idea that since it could spontaneously stop any time, and probably will, that is inherently by definition unsustainable. <br/><br/>On the same token one might argue singing a song in a group is an unsustainable thing to do. Because you cannot sing the same song together forever without stopping.<br/><br/>You must rest when you&#39;re tired, then perhaps sing a different song, maybe with different people. This doesn&#39;t make singing songs an unsustainable practice.

No one mentions this until the bike needs servicing, then they just say &#39;we better get onto servicing your bike, hey?&#39; and it happens<br/>- you can do a trade-in/upgrade. Kids swap their bikes for bigger bikes, people service the little bike and give it to another kid<br/>-there is no name, no official location, no contact details for this, it&#39;s an ephemeral property that emerges from the community every day that the community has capacity to do it.

I may be your witness. <br/><br/>I was management. I noticed this happening and reported it repeatedly. HR told me to fire the employees who had been underpaid instead of organising back payment (I refused and organised backpay for those I knew about, before being pressured to resign so a new manager could come in a fire anyone needing backpay). 2024-12-30T19:22:54Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsfc7jxa2gc8cax9spmn88l7kv4wpun86czcpza34xzx4lgxrmhm9qzyp85j8cap08z8l62qkzqa5gcea8v08hvwgwx9lzdvftkqm7v252ls4855c8 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs243xe70xcg5rms6r03z2aszexc8k50da2luaa7vh9393zr5470actjst6j'>nevent1q…st6j</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Michael Leunig&#39;s work on sex workers is also very worth never seeing. 2024-12-19T21:43:30Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs243xe70xcg5rms6r03z2aszexc8k50da2luaa7vh9393zr5470aczyp85j8cap08z8l62qkzqa5gcea8v08hvwgwx9lzdvftkqm7v252ls734dvf It&#39;s a beautiful day the remember that Michael Leunig also hated people who don&#39;t conform to his gender ideals. 2024-12-19T21:42:33Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqspxmlne2du85lvrx0z2zry2kfzez7yw4t5fqkpha06mzae6cgretszyp85j8cap08z8l62qkzqa5gcea8v08hvwgwx9lzdvftkqm7v252lsd8dejw In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsypc3qywejfgu39ldtvgx5jxzj7ynqa7a53k9d6wee0jgq6t29cuqp6lzdc'>nevent1q…lzdc</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>how can you tell they&#39;re married, renting the car and have no water? 2024-12-17T20:06:00Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs8cvynledytkfx5fgy3n09zgwsvezpxhljum2368a8r6qxxrk8pegzyp85j8cap08z8l62qkzqa5gcea8v08hvwgwx9lzdvftkqm7v252lsf04qwz Rhubarb getting somewhat out of hand<br/>#GardeningAu #GardenUpdate<br/> <img src="https://mediacdn.aus.social/media_attachments/files/113/667/581/603/580/142/original/e92c0ad83eb333e9.jpg"> <br/> 2024-12-17T10:03:06Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs0w0lajy84sp5xhtgkcjutctrtr5swu93hjdzs89mr8yyn4usc6fgzyp85j8cap08z8l62qkzqa5gcea8v08hvwgwx9lzdvftkqm7v252lswy9fvf Wanted: one bright red steel roof. <br/><br/>Today&#39;s edition of you can find someone who knows anything on the fedi: does anyone know a supplier of roofing steel in vic or SA in a red colour lighter than Manor Red/Heritage Red?<br/><br/>Colourbond advertises several (under the name &#39;Colourbond Studio&#39;) and Unicote makes a couple, but I can&#39;t find a supplier. None of the local roof plumbers gets anything other than standard colours, but they&#39;re happy to work with a supplier of more specialised colours if I can find them.<br/><br/>Please #boost out of my echo chamber<br/><br/>Edit: roof will be installed in a remote rural area. Unfortunately it will be travelling a long distance regardless. Supplier can be anywhere from Melbourne to Adelaide. Would even consider NSW suppliers. 2024-12-04T02:28:05Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqstgh0u48nlsvtzajt27v5jym0dyk5ncewg3sh75fm7vvjhpzljaqczyp85j8cap08z8l62qkzqa5gcea8v08hvwgwx9lzdvftkqm7v252lsajcksn It&#39;s time to update Hanlon&#39;s Razor (2020s edition):<br/><br/>Never attribute incompetence to that which is adequately explained by systematic human rights abuse. 2024-11-30T20:45:37Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsx7kfrrl3dr3xf3xhfzetwy3zt9ekuh3fl5cvtmue220c2mn2eysszyp85j8cap08z8l62qkzqa5gcea8v08hvwgwx9lzdvftkqm7v252ls06p9kg We don&#39;t talk enough about external locus of ethics.<br/><br/>People can have a firm ongoing sense of identity: I am a [political party supporter] from [place] who loves [value] and supports [concept].<br/>This all seems good and normal. <br/><br/>But then what happens when people need a constantly shifting moral compass to keep this position? We recently saw the answer: the moral compass will shift just about anywhere to preserve the rest of the identity. 2024-11-23T20:44:38Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsrpqkqam9x3rfy80dfve6cful534pp45khszhjgx75utx49sjuqyszyp85j8cap08z8l62qkzqa5gcea8v08hvwgwx9lzdvftkqm7v252lsvpgy4s New age verification test just dropped: name any two characters below<br/> <img src="https://mediacdn.aus.social/media_attachments/files/113/520/057/063/615/906/original/58489c042b9ea0e4.jpg"> <br/> 2024-11-21T08:46:09Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsp57q2ma2wtwp0x3qdztc30k4tty97vd8a4wssr9qmd8jp87ywycqzyp85j8cap08z8l62qkzqa5gcea8v08hvwgwx9lzdvftkqm7v252lscqpt80 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsxwvqls3dxf9734q890gwqxlh2g4rgg64cr7c82k942rcgf4hxyqc25tju8'>nevent1q…tju8</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I figure the effect from a distance is more important than the neatness 2024-11-19T23:56:01Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsxwvqls3dxf9734q890gwqxlh2g4rgg64cr7c82k942rcgf4hxyqczyp85j8cap08z8l62qkzqa5gcea8v08hvwgwx9lzdvftkqm7v252lse9jpmm In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsr833kjtytdpt8pvm7600mksnuj9eu96tw4x9kh96aqs0z0juewxsdxxwg3'>nevent1q…xwg3</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>yes, and not particularly well! 2024-11-19T23:55:24Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsv79x76vljnlllf0es7dev2hy02ma6lkm34su3jgjlde64ygnrqjqzyp85j8cap08z8l62qkzqa5gcea8v08hvwgwx9lzdvftkqm7v252lseht4cx Guess who has two thumbs and a series of sample pots in trendy interior decorating colours<br/> <img src="https://mediacdn.aus.social/media_attachments/files/113/512/279/386/509/791/original/997e4a878c75bc4e.jpg"> <br/> 2024-11-19T23:51:50Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqstcxtqzk6cu54l5ravtd9rvl0xl5m7h05t22zje5l45segkvucd7gzyp85j8cap08z8l62qkzqa5gcea8v08hvwgwx9lzdvftkqm7v252ls250dsw Bits of the garden still looking like this a month post storm. <br/>The garden will bounce back, but the force was incredible.<br/>#ThatOneHailStorm<br/>#GardeningAu #GardenUpdate<br/> <img src="https://mediacdn.aus.social/media_attachments/files/113/465/977/812/873/592/original/6ba2621d9bf06cd9.jpg"> <br/> 2024-11-11T19:33:38Z
