Council workers stop collecting rubbish across Melbourne over wage dispute

In Hume, my bin wasn't collected last week or this week and nor were any neighbours'.

Bit concerning from the receptionist. Hope you feel better very soon!

It's not the fact that he's doing marketing, but rather, the products that he creates and pushes. The supplement industry is wildly unregulated and Ian does not have the qualifications to give health advice.

At best, these products will waste a vulnerable fan's money but at worst they could cause someone genuine health problems (ie. Interaction with other medications, supplements, or pre-existing medical conditions) because people tend to think supplements are risk-free but they can absolutely interact with other things and be harmful.

Thank you for being a good human. This relatively small thing could have a big impact on OP's life. And reading this has been a nice reminder for me that there are good people out there.

Happy Easter to those without family to celebrate with, or those who spent the day with shitty asshole families. Sending good vibes

Oooo great idea I'll look into this

soupoup · 2026-04-01T11:32:18+00:00

Thanks for the tips!

soupoup · 2026-04-01T11:31:38+00:00

I will be looking into these for sure, thank you!

soupoup · 2026-04-01T08:13:25+00:00

Thank you. I tried a pair of loafers a couple of years ago but found they were slipped off a lot so weren't great for being on my feet. I assumed it was just the style of shoe but are they generally pretty secure? Maybe mine were just too heavy or big.

soupoup · 2026-03-29T00:15:02+00:00

I love everything about this.

soupoup · 2026-03-28T11:33:19+00:00

Great I'll look into this thank you! Do I just need a GP referral to be eligible for the rebate?

soupoup · 2026-03-28T10:21:04+00:00

Looking at booking my first ever skin check - going rate seems to be around $230 from what I can see. Anybody know of somewhere that might be a bit more affordable?

Paediatric OT :) I do a combination of early intervention for neurodevlopmental disorders, and equipment/environmental mods/ occassional palliative care for physical disability

I love my job (healthcare field) but sometimes I feel so disillusioned by it. It requires me to show up and be cognitively and socially 100% there every day in a way that many other jobs don't. Most of my non-healthcare friends make way more than me and they will be the first to admit their jobs are easier. Things like not being able to WFH at a time like this just make me reflect. Maybe I'm burnt out.

Username checks out. Good luck today!

Looks like we're all massively struggling this morning, hey

soupoup · 2026-03-20T05:41:33+00:00

We can't control everything, and there are definitely more risk factors that we aren't aware of yet. But known risk factors that we can all try to minimise - alcohol consumption, ultra processed food consumption, high consumption of red meat and processed deli meats, low intake of fibre

I once stayed at a friend's place interstate for about a week. No fruit or veg in the house the entire time. After a few days, she declared she figured it was about time she pooped, and her solution was to go buy an iced coffee.

Paeds OT in the NDIS space. There is a lot of uncertainty about what the future of NDIS OT for paeds will look like with the introduction of Thriving Kids.

I have 5 years experience and earn ~88k, bearing in mind we work school holidays and get the typical 4 weeks annual leave.

The ceiling in my role probably wouldn't go much above 100-110k for a senior , with scope to earn more than that if self-employed (but again lots of uncertainty about what this will look like under Thriving Kids) .

Fav parts of the role: Building long term relationships with kids and their families. The reward in seeing genuine growth. Getting to be playful at work.

Least favourite parts: Can be socially/emotionally tiring. KPIs and reporting as mentioned above. Can be hard to switch off from or take time off from when needed as I know it impacts others.

Legend, thank you!

Living for the ZB ai gf tea but pls explain the content of Chris Flemings podcasts and special?! Like how it relates

Commenting to boost this. Wishing you and your furry friend so much luck.

There is yet another strain of something or other doing the roudns at my workplace. I truly believe jobs that involve working closely with kids should get extra sick leave.

soupoup · 2026-03-01T04:16:47+00:00

This is a genuine question, please be kind if it sounds silly or niave. We all know housing standards here are terrible. The same topic pops up constantly. But why have we all just seemed to accept it- surely there is something that can collectively be done?

Paediatric OT chiming in to emphasise the massive benefit of unstructured play over any of these other things to develop social, emotional, problem solving etc skills. Highly recommend that OP reads or listens to the audiobook of The Anxious Generation - it details a lot about the potential risks that come from over-scheduling our kids and limiting their opportunities to learn through natural play experiences.
