  • I got the pixel 8 at release, had to return it because the wireless charging stopped working. I was lucky to have a shitty old phone around and their customer service was pretty good about it. Considered as a teething problem, but then a month ago I had the same issue and this time they were horrible to deal with. Finally got a replacement, opened it to check it was all there and traded it in for a discount on a Samsung. The customer service in the chat on the second occasion was trying to tell me I needed the original invoice the second to prove it was still in warranty, I was like 1. You guys sent me this replacement phone and 2. It hasn’t been available long enough to be out of warranty. When I asked for them to escalate the chat, they just ended it.













  • It’s really just kicking the can down the street. My expectation is if they got into power, they would say the figures are more than they realised, say they have to fix Labor’s economic mess and they’ll come back to it when the economy is in the black. Like others, I would have seen it as viable 20 years ago, but it is just so expensive, they’ve cancelled builds overseas because of cost blowouts and Europe is turning off reactors because of all the renewable energy in their grid. The claim it would be cheaper annoys me the most, as it is an outright lie. All the liberals do is shovel shit and coal





  • Anything that doesn’t just funnel money back to millionaires. I’ve never understood people’s aversion to tax, especially when they should be focusing on the rigged two party system that is at the core of the wastage.

    If I have to choose one, universal basic income, it solves a lot of problems. It can help people in need, but if you want to be selfish about it, at least it lowers the odds that someone will rob your house.

    As for people worried about making sure it goes to the right people, I would rather pay a few scammers than risk having someone in genuine need suffer
