[EUPHORIA SPOILERS] if u told me a year ago that this was gonna be the final shot of show i would've been like "huh?"
i have an inconsequential bone to pick with public signage in France, something about the use of the first person makes it sound very condescending to me, like they're talking to a child. "je monte et je descends avec" yeah i better hope so lol? just "n'oubliez pas vos sacs" would've been fine
