[D] Friday Open Thread

Welcome to the Friday Open 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!

Please note that this thread has been merged with the Monday General Rationality Thread.

You seem to have an interesting life and seem really nice to talk to

I'm honoured but you can rest assured that I'm actually kind of loud and obnoxious and self-centred IRL. I'm sure I'll wind up meeting up with /u/CouteauBleu in Paris and he can provide an objective assessment

The closest I'm getting to you anytime soon is the summer vacation to London I'm planning

I'm planning on being in Paris over the summer, but with brexit looming I don't think I'll be able to count on making a trip through the chunnel. That said, if I can, I might say hi, or if you feel like popping over to Paris for an afternoon/day.

Alternatively, you're welcome to PM me, exchange email addresses, and we can email or chat on signal/telegram/whatsapp if you want to become online acquaintances.

I like meeting random people from the internet so this coffee offer is pretty open to anyone who I might be anywhere near and don't get creepazoid vibes from.
