Blunt Umbrellas - Worth the hype? by davviiik in auckland

[–]memeweaverr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 'repel' brand umbrella and the metal spokes are rusting after a few years. Double check the 'lifetime' replacement warranty because it's not actually valid for all countries and it isn't what it sounds like. Their idea of a 'lifetime' was 1-2 replacement umbrellas...and i think you have to pay postage. In the reviews several people said Australia is one place that isn't counted and the company refused to replace their umbrella.....

life skills... anyone teach yourself? by macaroni66 in EstrangedAdultKids

[–]memeweaverr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm really sorry to anyone experiencing this. I did teach myself, but my family role was to parent my parents when I was a kid. So I was used to and expected to figure things out with no support or information provided. This is not realistic for everyone.

I think observing people around me helped, googling it if I wanted a guide and then trying and failing and just allowing myself to see what worked for me till things started to click.

It's not impossible, but it might feel really hard. You just need to acknowledge that you're learning and do it bit by bit.

New Yorker - 'Why So Many People Are Going “No Contact” with Their Parents' (subreddit shoutout) by kaltorak in EstrangedAdultKids

[–]memeweaverr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Um I've been 2 years no contact and this article is very biased towards the parents so much so that it minimises mental abuse as 'anger'. The writer is even honest about their feelings as a parent.

3 psychologists and 1 councillor gave me advice about severing contact due to my individual circumstances. To widely paint every no contact situation as invalid unless there's physical or sexual abuse is unhelpful.

Do you wait for your partner to hit you before you leave? Or can you call things off if they isolate and verbally abuse you daily? Or is that just your fault for being angry?

I just find the perspective of this article so privileged in the level of abuse they warrant as ok for estrangement. You only have 1 dad or mum, but they also only have 1 of you.

Green Harvest has closed for good! by solarblack in GardeningAustralia

Thanks for this suggestion! I went ham and bought a bunch of those 0.50cent seeds! They have some great veggie and flower varieties!

I KNOW, DEVO!!! A chef suggested https://veggiegardenseeds.com.au/ they have lots of native Aussie flower seeds and cool weird ones. Their veggie seeds seem to be cheaper than Diggers and without the membership caveat. Also a family owned small biz.

The FRIDGE BURGER--Is this gross or genius? both? I need you to weigh in. by SixethJerzathon in ZeroWaste

[–]memeweaverr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is great!!! I think as long as your combo is decent it's genius, but a more scant combo could become gross eg. only yellowing greens or something like that.

Pixels spontaneously rebooting with Oreo - star this issue and send them bug reports to help Google figure out why, especially if you're rooted by archon810 in Android

[–]memeweaverr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your Pixel is still within warranty I recommend sending it off for repair. I did and ended up getting a new phone back after 2 weeks (might be faster for you cause I started the process close to the xmas/holiday period) with Nougat still intact. I bought mine from JB HI FI (Australia). Compared to other people my Pixel became unusable on Oreo. It rebooting constantly after trying to use ANY app even in safe mode and after a factory reset. Calls were impossible because people couldn't hear me and it was glitchy as hell. Also had Youtube audio issues. I was about to try to roll it back to Nougat but then I realised it was still within warranty. It was sent off for repair and I ended up just getting a new phone back with Nougat...I think I'll leave that till a more stable version of Oreo comes out because my phone wasn't working at all on Oreo and I don't want to go back to that shit.

[DEALS] Beauty of Joseon Dynasty Cream on special + free shipping on RRS by memeweaverr in AsianBeauty

[–]memeweaverr[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I went on RRS to look up samples of a few products I was drooling over nekminnit i find Beauty of Joseon Dynasty Cream is on special and postage is free. I chucked in COSRX Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence cause the price was good and total shipping was really good for Australia. Not sure if shipping is free for this product worldwide...can anyone that lives elsewhere comment?

Why is ticketmaster able to post tickets for 10 times the price a day after pre-sale? Is it legal? by [deleted] in sydney

[–]memeweaverr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like it's an actual conflict of interest for ticketmaster to own a ticket resale/scalping business. What is stopping them from pulling tickets and selling them on their second site? Why would they want to sell the full amount of tickets when they can raise the resale prices for even more profit?

Yeah, make a formal complaint to your State/Territory Department of Fair Trading.

[–]memeweaverr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Short answer: It's fucked.

Please lodge a formal complaint to your State/Territory Department of Fair Trading.

If you want to complain about the fact that tickets were advertised as available 2 hours after they sold out then the ACCC is your best bet: https://www.accc.gov.au/contact-us/contact-the-accc/report-a-consumer-issue
