Looks like Toronto, but I have my doubts about that plan as well, unless Toronto is a huge rectangle.

Yep, Toronto. I don't think it's change in over 20 years, honestly.

This is a rat's nest, but it seems to be a well designed one. The underground foot passages connecting the lines (I think that's what they are) are an especially nice touch. But what's that thick blue ghost line that starts near the bottom left? A major thoroughfare for reference?

A "light metro" line, whatever that is.

For reference, it's just a metro train running on a track raised above the surface, like a monorail.

Ah, an L line.

There's at least one popular sci-fi setting where people learned to directly stimulate the brain to induce happiness.  In the one I'm thinking of, many people simply did that for... the rest of their lives.  Other people, those who craved something more, survived to become the new humanity.  I think it turned out well.  Not sure which group I'd be part of though

There's a few that use this: off the top of my head I remember wireheads from larry nivens known space

Syndicate? Those CHIPs had to do something.

[GiglameshDespair]

So if it becomes a service you can pay for you could literally buy happiness.

[TD1]

Tiruin's probably cheaper

[Descan]

Just shove Tiruin inside your brain chips.

[Rolan7]

I was thinking of Larry Niven's wireheads, but I forgot that was the case in Syndicate too!

This reminds me of Brave New World, which is about a society dedicated solely to pleasure, in which orgies are commonplace and sex with strangers is just as common as a normal greeting. In this instance, yes, Tiruin would really probably be cheaper source of happiness than chips :v!

But we have to fly all the way to the Philippines to get a hug! Why not just get a bag of doritos?

Apparently I got a 99/100 on my midterm in a class where most people were getting 70's. Considering that having seen the answer key I know that I made at least one mistake that was worth 5-6 points, so I'm not quite sure how I got a 99, but I'm not going to complain about it if that's the score they want to give me.

Sounds like a curve...  Maybe don't brag to your classmates

I just got my old Gamecube working.  And then I tried playing Melee but all of my 4 gamecube controllers have broken C-Sticks but it doesn't matter because GAMECUBE HELLS YEAH.
and I have the gameboy game player peripheral so double HELLS YEAH.

But you don't even need the c-stick, technically. Certainly is better with it though.
