Just had my best game ever in GeoGuessr, I think. 24,881 points.

One day I'll get that 25,000...

I was put in Brussels for the first guess, which was very nice. Quick 5,000.
Two guesses later, South Tyrol and a roadsign that basically pinpointed the exact location. Easy 5,000.
The three other guesses were two places in Taiwan and Potosi, Bolivia.

Very good seed, I'd say. Some pretty places and two max scores are always fun.

As for NSG, if you appear sincere -- over time -- people will generally accept that.

I was intending to just stop posting for a while, but that wouldn't really work. So I'll see if people can believe that I changed my mind about essentially everything.

Unless I lose the regional election. If that happens, I'm going to let this nation CTE.

It’s very interesting to see a story set in Germany though. Is it really a German thing for kids to hit each other “casually” on the back of each other’s heads like a high five or was that just a gimmick to show how annoying some of the kids were?

Doesn’t seem very safe

In my experience, yes, kind of. It's the equivalent of the friendly arm punch. It might depend on the region, or generation, or something like that, though.


Interesting

Do they do that in North America as well? Or is it germany only?

Sometimes. It really depends on how close you are with a person. Like, I'd to it to my best friend, but I wouldn't do it to an acquaintance.
