In addition to being quite similar to my previous puzzle in construct, this puzzle has the dubious honor of being another hint for this hintless question.

I woke up in a hospital to the sound of radio playing softly in the background. To my left, three stacks of machine beeped and purred, checking my vitals. To my right, stood a small table with a glass of iced water, along ...
When I first looked through the list, the thought crossed my mind to choose part 5 only and make it reverse-puzzling, where you'd have to work out what happened in parts 1-4.
Not much was at stake on John's last visit to the oracle. But his grandfather had told him, in his dying moments, the location of a unimaginable treasure. Forgetful as usual, John messed up again. Although not fully prepared, he visits the oracle once more, only to take heat from the oracle in th...
I mean, I can't see anything that would imply there's something spammy going on, no posts, no "about me", and "FredGlenn" isn't really the same of some spam site or something
@Mithrandir I have the handy smokey userscript to see info about such things, but is there a way to easily get the metasmoke url for a given post to go there directly?
I need your help.
I'm a physics grad student, but I've always really loved music. So for the past few months, I've been interning with this Italian piano maker - I don't want to say his name here. He's very passionate about music, thinks of it like it's own language. But he's always really paran...
Confined with my brothers
Occasionally I see Light
Sent to amuse others
For I don't have any life
Can't see because Eyes is what I don't have
Its the matter of hands but I lack that
God showed some Mercy by giving me heart
Make a guess and tell what we are.
I am here to tell you about two brothers that were doing a magic trick. But not the kind with smoke and mirrors but just a deck of cards and the magic of the human mind. Will you be able to match the bothers wits and figure out whats the trick?

Placed in front of you with a feast meat for a king,
Offered by the clown that comes with a new, neat thing.
Tastes from the sea when the red girl comes this way,
Always good with whatever John catches that day.
To tempt you with what the cows try to murder,
Or at the place whe...

I use 12dicts (specifically, 2+2+3lem.txt), but it doesn't have everything. (For instance, "latin" isn't in there, even though it feels like it should be. I put that in the grid manually.)
Actually, that reminds me, I've been looking all over for a thesaurus. I've found several, but I'm not really satisfied with any of them. Does anyone know if/where I can find one?
I did consider what it would take to use a general collection of texts to auto-generate a thesaurus. The more I thought about it, the less tractable it seemed
I think you can embed Winograd schemas into that problem
