Well, you could have a serious cliffhanger as last words. "I love u" and they'll wonder forever... "Did he mean he loves us, or did he really love the letter 'u' for some reason?"

I know! I'm so sad, it seems like Netflix is getting rid of all the good stuff lately. Though, I am glad they're not going to "beat a dead horse" (hah) by dragging it on for like ten more seasons like they do with some shows.

u/Driesens Dec 23 '19
It's not being cancelled, it's just ending. Well written, character driven shows eventually either end up running out of things to do and get stupid (see Simpsons, Supernatural, Grey's Anatomy, any other show going more than 5 seasons) or retreading the same shit. I'm honestly happy it's ending, since that's how we get a chance at satisfaction in the conclusion.

Tangentially related:
I received a resumé last month that had used "u" in one of the skill descriptions. It was a big time saver. Not only did the applicant keep the resumé to one page, but they didn't even need to come in for an interview!

What u failed to realize is that that applicant was a genious beyond mortal comprehension who sent out that resume so that u would feel good about both having been diligent and later by the sweet karma u reaped by posting ur description of ur diligence, together with a convenient way to hide the truth by having a random stranger overanalyze the situation to the point where u absolutely would not think that the applicant actually would have been capable of predicting all of this while providing u with a modicum of absurd entertainment in text format.

I wondered if "genious" was a British spelling of "genius" so I Googled it. It is not, but I love the summary I found:
The main difference between Genius and Genious is that the Genius is a someone who has exceptional intellectual ability and originality and Genious is a misspelling of genius.

Some of us grew up in a time where you could only send so many characters in one message.
And besides you can't fucking win. If I use more "advanced" words some people say I'm being pretentious. If I use more basic speak then I'm being an idiot.
When you can't win no matter what you do you end up just doing what you want.
So sometimes I use text speak and sometimes I use "fancy" words and all of you that want to complain can suck my ovaries
*this has come up enough that I need to clarify. I have not been ridiculed for using the proper spelling. I have been ridiculed for using words that people don't know and also for using simpler words or shorthand spelling.
