Last weeks thread here

Welcome to this week’s casual kōrero thread!

This post will be pinned in this community so you can always find it, and will stay for about a week until replaced by the next one.

It’s for talking about anything that might not justify a full post. For example:

  • Something interesting that happened to you
  • Something humourous that happened to you
  • Something frustrating that happened to you
  • A quick question
  • A request for recommendations
  • Pictures of your pet
  • A picture of a cloud that kind of looks like an elephant
  • Anything else, there are no rules (except the rule)

So how’s it going?

I was talking to another commenter about this, but here is an article about the NZ navy mutiny, for your consideration.

Essentially a strike over pay and conditions, rather than what we would typically have in mind when talking about a mutiny.

Wait what would we normally have in mind? I thought mutinies were almost always about conditions.

What comes to mind is a first mate making the captain walk the plank at cutlass-point and taking over as pirate captain 🏴‍☠️

When you put it like that... really we shouldn't accept anything less.
