You don’t have to play those games to know the answers to them.

It’s cringey because good Jeopardy players know a lot about niche stuff, and with the exception of the Joust question these were all about giant popular video that are out right now. I've seen Jeopardy players answer some really obscure questions about really niche things, so it's just kind of weird they can't answer

Honestly, Halo was a good guess.

Uh, they're not. So many games are rated M for mature these days...most games are aimed at the 18-30 demographic.

Have you actually been paying attention this midterms? Because Democrats HAVE been doing that. There are both nationally known and local candidates running on that platform and more sophisticated ones.

Sorry, I think you’re confused? Obama was the president *before* this one, not the current one.

Or we could just do mail in ballots like we do in Washington state. Voting is SO EASY here. You even get a little booklet in the package with all the candidates and their pitches. I sit down with my ballot and my computer, look up all the candidates and propositions I haven’t already researched, check my boxes and

This is not relevant to anything, but I know some woke-ass activist black folks who go to white church because it’s only an hour.

I’ve been to a couple White Churches in my time and at all of them most people were not dressed up. That said, they were all in the Northeast or Pacific Northwest. Most white people dress up for Southern White Church.

THIS is one of the reasons I left academia...academics’ constant disdain for the economic realities of life, as if people shouldn't want to feed their families and live indoors.

Yeah, I have repeatedly said I’m so glad I went to college before Facebook and Instagram and Snapchat and all that mess. Don’t nobody need their college shenanigans preserved for perpetuity.

I remember Word Up! and Right On but not Fresh.

Probably, but that’s because black victims and shooters ARE demonized in news coverage, while white male shooters get their home lives and motivations explored in depth. Actually, if you read through article he does actually talk about that.

Somebody has already tried this. Look up yhr FBI definition of a mass shooting and others that were commonly used. There doesn’t have to be only one shooter for it to qualify as a mass shooting, and it doesn’t have to be premeditated either. If you look at lists of mass shootings, several of them include shootings

Stevie Wonder’s performance at Michael Jackson’s funeral is when I lost it. I’m tearing up again now just watching this video

Ariana Grande did a tribute to Aretha Franklin on Jimmy Fallon (“You Make Me Feel Like a Natural Woman”) and she did pretty good.

I feel like Zara Philips’ reaction was at least 75% because she was very, very pregnant and thus quite uncomfortable in them hard-ass pews.

COLD SHOULDER TOPS. I hate them. I don’t understand why a passing fad has to mean “now we will make 75% of our clothes reflect this fad.” I would like my shoulders covered thank you very much

First girl might not even be fat. On a girl who was 5'1" and petite/slim, 40 lbs may have just taken her to ‘average.’

Uh, absolutely. When I was in graduate school (2008-2014) my university was throttling students then and turning off your access if they detected you torrenting or pirating material. Times have changed my friend.
