  - Except when it isn’t. -- nm - znufrii Aug 10, 05:11
  - Actually, you only saved 9 minutes. There's still another 9 minutes of material that you didn't cover. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 9, 21:36 2

If there's one thing I'm certain of, it's that joss whedon does not have a monopoly on self-awareness. -- (link) - Beryllium Aug 9, 18:57 8
- (Whedon is trending because some people are pissing and moaning about some game trailer with dialogue that is somewhat whedonesque.) -- nm - Beryllium Aug 9, 18:58 7
  - - -- (link) - Ender Aug 9, 20:33 5
    - It looks visually interesting. Unsure what the gameplay would be like. Complainers ... may have a point about the dialog. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 9, 20:42 4
      - When that dialog first got used in a trailer 11 months ago it didn't get the same pushback. -- (link) - Ender Aug 9, 21:01 [youtube] 1
        
        But speaking of "pushback", every trailer I've watched has had a different release date. First it was "Spring 2022",then "October 2022", now it's 1/23 -- nm - Ender Aug 9, 21:03
      - That plays like an ad tailored to look like a TikTok. That… can’t be what the game actually sounds like… right? -- nm - Mop Aug 9, 20:43 1
        
        I watched it on mute. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 9, 20:44

  - 🐱‍👤👍 -- nm - crash davis Aug 9, 19:42
- Isn’t this a bit “not their thing” for Wirecutter? -- nm - Mop Aug 9, 19:28 2
  - They have links on the sidebar for Wirecutter articles for The Best Cat Bed and The Best Cat Litter, so I think they think it is their thing -- nm - crash davis Aug 9, 19:41 1
    - Obviously getting bought by NYT ruined them. -- nm - Mop Aug 9, 20:28
- I'm allergic to cats, so my favorite Cat Scratcher is by Ted Nugent -- (link) - Peglegpete Aug 9, 19:21 [youtube] 1
  - No...I will NOT be complicit in getting him an additional $0.0000001 in royalties -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 9, 20:51
- we have their top choice, or at least something that looks very similar. I think we got it in 2016. -- nm - mafic Aug 9, 18:26 5
  - I like that they used 74 cats to test these. Instead of one rando cat, they got close to cat consensus -- nm - crash davis Aug 9, 19:03
  - also have one of these just on the ground that they also love -- (link) - mafic Aug 9, 18:27 3
    - every thing about that looks cool except the currently unavailable part -- nm - crash davis Aug 9, 19:00 2
      - ha! for once amazon is better for me! if I order in the next 6 hours I could have one by Monday! -- nm - mafic Aug 9, 19:06 1
        
        it actually got mentioned in the article and chewy.com is out of stock as well, so you're living in cat scratcher nirvana right now -- nm - crash davis Aug 9, 19:15

  - and the winner at chewy.com -- (link) - crash davis Aug 9, 18:24 2
    - I bought one of those at Petco thinking it would keep Mini off the door frames. She squeezes behind it to get to the door. -- nm* - Meg Aug 9, 19:40 1
      - gotta love cats :) -- nm - crash davis Aug 9, 20:06
I mean, simple solution, just kill off his character the moment before any intimacy is needed. Works every time. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 9, 18:20 2
- I agree 100%, but can we stop talking about Trump for ten minutes? -- nm - howie Aug 9, 18:34 1
  - bean-dip, not queso. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 9, 18:46
I wonder which president signed the law making removal of classified documents a felony. Who could it be? -- (link) - TWuG Aug 9, 18:20 2
- The irony is that if he goes to jail, all the laws he signed are invalidated! - Mop Aug 9, 19:32
- yeah, but he's the Ron Burgundy of signing documents. he'd sign a burger king kid's menu if you told him it was a contract. -- nm - mafic Aug 9, 18:22
