  • This triggered my geoguessr addiction, so I had to put off eating breakfast until I had figured out this was:

    Title

    Midtown Greenway between Harriet and Grand, Lyn-Lake

    I found the exact location but I guess that’s as exact as I can specify. The building on the left has bare brick on the older Google street view photo.

    I did use some googling though, which I wouldn’t if this was actual geoguessr. If not allowed to google, going on just this photo, I would say… uh… somewhere in the city that this community is about?

    (My point is that anyone who guessed even just the area did better than I did, if they were able to do so without additional research)

    No idea about the movie, but I wonder if figuring out the exact quote would be a useful step in the right direction (making it easier to google, ask about, etc). The closest I’ve found so far is “The meaninglessness of suffering, not suffering itself, was the curse that lay over mankind so far”, from Nietzsche’s Genealogy of Morals.

    I assume that the movie used a correct quote, so it should be possible to find the quote without knowing the movie. If the movie invented a brand new quote, then the idea of using the original quote as a stepping stone towards finding the movie won’t work.

    I feel like this pattern of people lying to doctors and doctors adjusting things to account for it really messes with rigorously honest people.

    A little while back I was reading how when they ask you how much pain you’re in, with 10 being the most pain imaginable, they pretty routinely have people calmly say “12”. So, if you’re actually using the scale where you’ve probably never experienced more than a 9 and would be sobbing at an 8, so you say 7, they automatically assume you’re in basically no pain because you said less than 10.

    Kind of wish we could just speak accurately and take each other literally instead of playing games where we try to figure out exactly what lie to tell to convey the truth, but I guess that’s not how most people are wired.



  • It’s always good to support the original publisher and encourage local libraries by reading a hard copy, so I could never endorse piracy, even for people who can’t get their hands on a physical copy. Even though it’s true that both libgen and annas-archive have ebook copies of this particular book (and can easily be found via google), I could never in good conscience direct anyone to such a site.
