You can't have an opinion on a fact. If you do have an opinion on a fact, and your opinion differs from the fact, then you're wrong. #fact

@VLine Useless VLine, absolutely impossible to plan travel using this hopeless system. Been planning to train to Melbourne this w/e for Dreamtime game for months, last minute you cancel the services. VLine - keeping cars on the road.

@FOXTEL_Help Surely it’s not that hard to add an option to remove things from this list?

[Reggie Johnson @_jjron]

Hey @FOXTEL_Help. Is there a way to permanently remove series from ‘Continue Watching’ list on Foxtel Go app? I’ve seen advice to go to last episode and scroll to end. This works - UNTIL another episode drops, then it’s right back in the watchlist. Can you actually get rid of it?

[Reggie Johnson @_jjron]

@FOXTEL_Help But this isn’t good. For example I streamed part of one game of AFLW and got EVERY game for the rest of the season, no matter how many times I ‘cleared it’. #WWERaw is about to hit 30 years - if you stream one second of it, EVER, it will be eternally in your watch list!!

Hey, @Duolingo. See the answer circled? That is the answer you want, but I CAN’T select it. Means I can’t get this question right, and can’t finish the lesson as it’s burned through all my hearts and just keeps coming up. Fix it! Oh BTW fix the garbage update too. #duolingoupdate

[Reggie Johnson @_jjron]

What in the blue hell were you thinking @duolingo with this horrid update? Ruins an app I’ve been using for around a decade, including current 1500+ day streak. Not sure I will persevere with this.

[Reggie Johnson @_jjron]

@duolingo To add to the chorus, this new @duolingo layout is horrendous, not to mention dropping XP earnings to a fraction of what they were. Don’t even seem to have audio practice anymore. Seriously considering ditching this, and so, so, glad I didn’t opt in and pay for Super Duolingo.

@realrossnoble Enjoying much the pod @realrossnoble @mredkavalee. Silly anecdote. For years I thought the line “I can’t believe you kiss your car goodnight” was “I can’t believe you kiss your cock at night” until I looked up the lyrics on the internet. But that would be a fair call for ST IMO.

[Reggie Johnson @_jjron]

For heaven’s sake @Telstra why do you have a mobile ‘recharge’ function built into your mobile app that doesn’t work on mobile devices? Do you actually want my money? Is it really that hard?

[Reggie Johnson @_jjron]

@ANZ_AU Two weeks later and still no functionality in all that time. Sure, I can get on via the website, but one of the main reasons I went thru ANZ Shares was so I could have some simple, quick share trading in the app with my banking. Are they are even going to try fixing this?

[Reggie Johnson @_jjron]

This shares function is a mess @ANZ_AU. This is what I see more often than not when I try to use it - “Service unavailable” - been getting it for days straight now. No idea why you changed from the old system that actually used to work reliably.

[Reggie Johnson @_jjron]

I remember when @SunbeamAU used to make quality products that lasted decades. This thing burnt out after less than 100 uses/3yrs. Now off to #landfill hell. Out of warranty of course. Looks like I go for a NutriBullet next time. Very disappointing.

[Reggie Johnson @_jjron]

Dammit @CadburyAU you’ve ruined Snack with your cost cutting. Instead of it breaking nicely into perfect neat pieces like it always did for *decades*, the chocolate is now so thin that it crushes and breaks all over the place. Look at this mess...

[Reggie Johnson @_jjron]

@sammostyn @howcroft @CentrePolicyDev So if you actually believe in climate action as indicated by this retweet Russel @howcroft, how do you look at yourself in the mirror if reports are correct about you being part of a pro-coal campaign via @PwC. Selling your soul?

[Reggie Johnson @_jjron]

Biggest message from the Election was Australians don’t care less about climate change. Woo wee, we’re in for a wild ride! #QandA

[Reggie Johnson @_jjron]

A panel of scientists on #QandA. Oh, oh, ABC will be in trouble for this! Where’s the balance? Deniers, creationists, far right pollies...

[Reggie Johnson @_jjron]

Listening to @fitzhunter Joel Fitzgibbon on #QandA tonight, I suspect the ALP is going to be in opposition for a *long* time.

[Reggie Johnson @_jjron]

Hey @BlacknWhiteCabs. Can you please explain why a $71-something fare last Saturday night in Melbourne has been charged to my credit card at $74-something? This doesn’t seem right.

[Reggie Johnson @_jjron]

If you don’t want to be questioned on how you vote, then keep it quiet. That’s why we have secret ballots. #QandA

[Reggie Johnson @_jjron]

So it’s clear Australians have voted to lock in climate change, fossil fuels, destruction of the GBR and other natural places, extinctions, and in general shown their support for a dishonest, mean-spirited, rabble of a Govt. Well done Australia! #auspol #AUSVote19
