30001st poster gets a cookie (cookie thread (Part 7)) (Part 9)

eating an orange cleanly isn’t usually that hard (provided the variety you’re eating actually divides into slices cleanly - some really don’t!)

but peeling it in the first place is often a pain because even doing it basically perfectly is liable to have at least one section of skin or breaking apart of slices shoot out a mist of juice that needs to be cleaned

Literally my major.

What about an orangeandblack5?

Economically speaking with a recession going on, will the price of a house come crashing down

Speculators, institutional investors, people with too much money, etc.
If you think house prices are going to go up faster than Treasury bonds, and if you think that the risk is worth it, you invest in it, which drives prices higher. This is effectively what happened in 2008.

i didnt like the last season of squid game

started strong but the last 2/3 of season 3 felt underwhelming, when those games were like the highlight of season 1

was squid game originally planned to be 3 seasons or just 1?

just 1. the last 2 seasons (which is really just one season, season 2 ends halfway into the games) were kinda just cashgrabs it seems

plus the absolutely disgraceful “squid games: America” spinoff hint at the end

it seems they had planned to only make one with a solid beginning, conclusion, and end, then had to break that end to do something else that wasn’t more or the same

It was also caused by that, and it’s when those people started defaulting that house prices stalled, and all these people who’d bought houses for the sake of speculation started selling, sending prices crashing.

Squid Game S3 spoiler

Summary

I find it kinda funny that the American Squid Games for some reason also use ddakji, a South Korean game, to recruit players.

I will allow my entire life’s journey to be determined by whatever path standardized testing takes me down, considering that it’s already the reason I live where I do now
