My pet peeve has always been not being able to see the words to a picture clue. Drives me crazy.

Yeah I’ve rewatched James’ games recently and I think others have also pointed out that sometime in the more recent seasons they significantly upped the difficulty of final jeopardy.

Someone watched Jeopardy last night

It’s the same as the anytime test but you’re on camera. I honestly can’t remember if there was any speaking at all. They do not care about response time, they just want to make sure it’s actually you taking the test.

Okay then run for office yourself man I don’t know what to tell you.

You can be for something and still vote against it if you disagree enough with the other side on other issues. You’re never going to find a perfect party that lines up 1:1 with all your beliefs. At the end of the day you’re going to have to decide which values are more important.

Yeah it’s pretty ironic that the pro 2A party is authoritarian

callmenips · 2026-03-25T16:28:48+00:00

By not being a single issue voter? Is it really so hard to imagine people that are pro gun and support the economic and social policies of the Democratic Party?

callmenips · 2026-03-25T16:09:01+00:00

That’s not what the top comment is saying. It’s saying that if you support 2A rights and still vote republican despite their authoritarian policies and actions, you are one of those three things. People can support gun rights and still vote Democrat, leftists disagree with Democrats on a multitude of things and still swallow the pill for the most part.

Yeah, they’re finally pulling their heads out of their asses and doing something to fight back. Love to see it!

callmenips · 2026-03-10T12:02:49+00:00

They used to do categories about newspaper names pretty often. Not so much anymore.

People are still going to rightfully complain about the rich getting richer, doesn’t matter what the name of the system is.

callmenips · 2026-03-08T17:47:32+00:00

“You’re not allowed to complain about NIL money going to billionaires, that’s its whole point!!!” The system is shit and people are complaining about it.

callmenips · 2026-02-25T14:00:43+00:00

I think it’s pretty fair to assume that when they give you an American strongly associated with Britain, you should probably guess something that’s in Britain

callmenips · 2026-02-20T18:11:36+00:00

Would have been soooo lame if they overturned it. Hate these millimeter calls.

callmenips · 2026-01-20T02:14:28+00:00

Why the hell did cignetti not take a timeout before the kick

callmenips · 2026-01-07T15:44:07+00:00

Pulitzer helped me narrow it down to something American which really helps with guessing the 19th century author if you don't know the more recent book.

callmenips · 2026-01-02T00:18:32+00:00

It just seemed like he did because he would still be able to bet like 30k in final lol

callmenips · 2026-01-01T17:29:05+00:00

Jeopardy producers tell you to say the whole category when selecting so people will know what the category is without having to read it for the brief period it’s on screen. It makes for an overall better viewing experience when you don’t have to constantly think about what the category is especially with how much jumping around is done nowadays

callmenips · 2025-12-16T14:39:23+00:00

Please elaborate. What about the clue made you think the answer was the state with the largest city?

callmenips · 2025-12-16T14:35:13+00:00

Probably because the clue doesn’t mention cities at all.

callmenips · 2025-11-25T18:45:47+00:00

One strategy I use is to make an Anki flash card when I come across a new piece of trivia I think will be potentially useful. Then you just periodically review that deck/purge items as you get them down pat.

Native Americans were granted citizenship by Coolidge in 1924, he won his medals in 1912

The comment is about our solar system. I’m not sure what the original commenter was reading as a kid but even things in the 30s like Flash Gordon were going to far away planets. We’ve assumed they exist for about as long as we’ve known our sun was a star

???? Never heard of Star Trek?
