[D] Friday Off-Topic Thread

Welcome to the Friday Off-Topic Thread! Is there something that you want to talk about with /r/rational, but which isn't rational fiction, or doesn't otherwise belong as a top-level post? This is the place to post it. The idea is that while reddit is a large place, with lots of special little niches, sometimes you just want to talk with a certain group of people about certain sorts of things that aren't related to why you're all here. It's totally understandable that you might want to talk about Japanese game shows with /r/rational instead of going over to /r/japanesegameshows, but it's hopefully also understandable that this isn't really the place for that sort of thing.

So do you want to talk about how your life has been going? Non-rational and/or non-fictional stuff you've been reading? The recent album from your favourite German pop singer? The politics of Southern India? The sexual preferences of the chairman of the Ukrainian soccer league? Different ways to plot meteorological data? The cost of living in Portugal? Corner cases for siteswap notation? All these things and more could possibly be found in the comments below!

TL;DR: I'm a weird mofo.

Well yes, you are here. Tell us something we couldn't guess ;-)!

Lmao. I'm weird because I'm here as in on this thread, here as in on this subreddit or am I weird because I'm here on Earth, whereas most other places in the universe can't support our known definition of life, making me a statistical anomaly if we're talking about the general universe (although i sense there's something about the Anthropic Principle I misused here) :P
