Friday Night Open Thread
You survived another week. It’s now the weekend, which is something you’ve been looking forward to all week.
Speaking of surviving, here are some dos and don’ts — mostly don’ts — about surviving things. The conventional wisdom isn’t always so wise, as we shall see.
Not only is it the end of the week, but it’s nighttime and time for the overnight gab-fest knows as Friday Night Open Thread. Take the floor, direct the conversation, and just have a good time.

The good news is, tomorrow’s Friday.
Unless you hate Friday. Then it’s bad news.
