So I was playing against people across the world in MK8, all with VRs well above 10,000.

And then I just beat them all by coming first place in Bowser's castle with my VR of just OVER 9000.

TBH. I never expected to accumulate so many posts that I'd get into first page when users are ranked by number of posts.
Then again I guess that's not expectable.

I remember saying at around 10,000 posts if I ever got to 60,000 I'd have to consider my time management abilities and social life a failure.

You seem to function relatively well in the real world, so I wouldn't worry about that if I were you.

God no, how could you be? Can't go drinking with you, jogging, have a coffee, use you as a free babysitter etc etc. Hell, even Thernsy and I aren't proper friends until we meet next year.

Europe is tricky by default with all those seditionary referendums and prospects of grim futures full of darkness and decay. Granted, the USA isn't doing much better at the moment.

Great... go looking for journal articles about police racism and how media portrayals influence public perception... And almost all of them are America-centric.

I would suck at all of those, except the drinking, definitely not the drinking.
