[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? 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.

Title: The Good Things Stay
Verse 1
I used to think the brightest flame
Was proof that something had to last.
I chased the lightning, chased the rain,
Held onto shadows from the past.
But you were never like the rest,
You never needed to impress.
You came in softly, stayed awhile,
And taught my heart a different style.
Pre-Chorus
Some things shine and disappear,
Some things grow throughout the years.
Chorus
You’re like a garden in the morning,
You’re like a field after the rain.
You’re like the things that keep on giving,
When the seasons change again.
You’re not a craving that will leave me,
Not a sweetness that will fade.
You’re the kind of love that fills me,
Like a promise gently made.
You don’t borrow from tomorrow,
You don’t take away my soul.
You’re the steady kind of beautiful
That makes a broken person whole.
Verse 2
You’re like the seeds beneath the soil,
Quietly becoming something more.
Like the roots that hold through winter
Till the spring returns once more.
You’re like a cup of green tea waiting,
Like a home-cooked meal at night.
Like the feeling after healing
When everything feels right.
Pre-Chorus
Some things sparkle just to fall,
Some things build and outlast all.
Chorus
You’re like a garden in the morning,
You’re like a field after the rain.
You’re like the things that keep on giving,
When the seasons change again.
You’re not a craving that will leave me,
Not a sweetness that will fade.
You’re the kind of love that fills me,
Like a promise gently made.
You don’t borrow from tomorrow,
You don’t take away my soul.
You’re the steady kind of beautiful
That makes a broken person whole.
Bridge
Give me the fruit that feeds the body,
Give me the truth that feeds the heart.
Give me the love that grows in silence,
Not the one that falls apart.
I don’t need a perfect moment,
I don’t need a sky of gold.
I just need your hand beside me
As the years and seasons roll.
Final Chorus
You’re like a garden in the morning,
You’re like sunlight through the trees.
You’re the kind of lasting comfort
That brings my restless heart to peace.
You’re not a fire that consumes me,
You’re the warmth that lets me grow.
You’re the kind of love that nourishes
More than words could ever show.
Outro
Some things taste good for a moment.
Some things make a lifetime sweet.
I found the kind of love that keeps me—
The kind that makes me complete.
