The entire cast took it a step further by creating content on Instagram and YouTube, showing unity and cultural exchange. Mongolia leaned heavily into promoting their country, thanks to the response their team got internationally.

And now, we're getting a spin-off: Welcome to Mongolia! Woo-hoo!

I love that the show was not really about who'd win, but rather, a way to introduce the world to different countries and show how their problem solving skills are influenced by their culture and history. That probably wasn't what the show creator intended, but it was a positive side effect.

Super late update: Turns out I received a size 11, because they had some glitch in their system that gave everyone who ordered 1.5 sizes up. Exchanged for a size 10 to accommodate thicker socks. Puma offered a discount for the mistake, so I'm happy. Also, the shoes look magical IRL. 🥰

I think I might be done buying bags/purses... at least, for a long while. lol

This backpack is basically an upgrade to the backpack I've been using for 10+ years. I'll definitely be using this one for the rest of my life. 😂

Cheaper headphones/earbuds hide poor sound quality. It's definitely one of the downsides of high-quality headphones, because I feel like some video editors just use Airpods and call it a day. 😞

And the parents who think their lives have more value than childless people should go fuck themselves, honestly.

The contestants were worse than the characters in the actual Squid Game drama. I have a feeling S3 will be even worse. S2's final game was also very anticlimactic. What a waste of time.

Instead of elimination via games, too many were handpicked eliminations. 👎

Also, S1's contestants were far more likeable. S2 was full of insufferable, selfish people. It's one thing to play the game; it's another to be a backstabbing asshole. I felt like I was watching office politics play out.

I just want to share stuff I find interesting or talk about different topics without worrying about bothering others. Feel free to follow this account if you don't mind my randomness. 😊

Some people make their jobs/careers their entire identity (no shade; you do you), but that isn't me. I enjoy too many things to be defined by one thing.

I don't mean that in an "oh, I'm sooo artistic and unique" kind of way; I'm just not a fan of being put in a box when I don't neatly fit in any.

If you haven't noticed already, I like to keep things organized, even if it means having several separate accounts with less frequent activity. I don't want to spam people with topics they have no interest in.
