Re: Wednesday, March 23, 2016 Game Recap & Discussion [SPOILERS]
I know that Ruth and Esther have come up before, but I don't think we've ever talked about them in my church. Ruth is likely to get mentioned every now and then since she's an ancestor of Jesus. Esther is pretty much her own story and doesn't get mentioned unless you're studying Esther. If you're J...

Re: Article on "The Ugly, Sexist Aftermath of Appearing on 'Jeopardy"
There are many studies that have shown that harassers and abusers use the casual acceptance/apathy of people in their circle as proof that what they are doing is socially condoned. Britain has been prosecuting people for egregious trolling of public figures, up to and including threats of violence....

Re: Article on "The Ugly, Sexist Aftermath of Appearing on 'Jeopardy"
I was sorry to see "the debate that ruined gaming/MTG/sci fi/etc." come to trivia. Gosh, I'm so sorry that my desire to be part of a safe, welcoming community that values my contributions despite (or -- gasp -- even because of) my ovaries, and insisting that others uphold a standard of decency in t...

So...uh...which part of the title of this thread made you think the content would help you with your own study?

Re: Article on "The Ugly, Sexist Aftermath of Appearing on 'Jeopardy"
A last sentiment I will offer - unsolicited though it may be - is I don't think this forum is in need of a McCarthy-like purge of "sexists" and "apologists." Millions of people watch Jeopardy, and among those millions, there are trolls and harassers. Those people are the problem; the people of this...

Re: Article on "The Ugly, Sexist Aftermath of Appearing on 'Jeopardy"
Sorry it hurts your delicate sensibilities to see women trying to protect themselves from danger instead of shutting up and being good little girls who don't spoil a nice picnic. Sigh. If this is your conception of discourse, I'm definitely not interested in pursuing this further. I wish you well i...

If you're interpreting "hey, widespread sexual harassment is bad, maybe we should do something about it," as a "political issue" that's your problem.

Re: Article on "The Ugly, Sexist Aftermath of Appearing on 'Jeopardy"
No politicizing Jeopardy, pls. Thx. Who's politicizing? What's the best way to tackle this problem? Or is it not a problem? Political leanings will largely dictate the extent to which this is seen as warranting drastic action. I'll decline to go any further after seeing Golf mobbed for what I consi...

I will give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you're not calling "sexual harassment is bad" a controversial political statement. Please don't disappoint me.DysonSphere wrote:No politicizing Jeopardy, pls. Thx.

I think they would only give you the third since that looks like a typoUniquePerspective wrote:Sherder's video is up.
Judges:
Congesta for the wagon.
Iberia for the peninsula.
Dowton Abbey for the show (because the way the first N is sometimes not clear to me I wasn't sure whether it existed).
Thoughts?

My profile page still lists my test as incomplete and it sounds like I'm not the only one. Not a great debut for the new website.

Lots of people on Twitter had technical problems as well. I was fine, but I wonder if it's related to the new website.

Too bad Debrah had to go home after that strong game. I was impressed by her get on School's Out . Even though that song is over 40 years old, she didn't look 'youthful' enough to know Alice Cooper songs. Makes me feel really old. My astonishment meter pegged though, when she came up with Hank Gree...

Re: Wednesday, December 30, 2015 Game Recap & Discussion [SPOILERS]
As previously stated, I love it when an older contestant kicks the asses of the internet generation. And Johnny seems pretty neat. But I just can't ignore his four wagers. His FJ wager wouldn't have been near as bad if he had just wagered $201. He lives in my neck of the woods, perhaps I need to se...
