I'm not the problem, I'm the mirror

Quoted from ChatGPT, it means, "You only have a problem with me because I'm exposing you for your errors."

Boss: Your behavior is offensive.
Me: My behavior is trying to show you how poorly run your organization is. I'm not the problem, I'm the mirror.

champagne problem

I had a dream the other night about the song "Champagne Problems" by Nick Jonas and decided in my dream that calling someone a "champagne problem" is a witty insult that insinuates their parents drank too much one day and that's the only reason they were conceived.

Ugh, she's been bothering me so much lately. She's such a champagne problem.

Temporary problem

A problem that lasts no longer than a lifespan.

One day the problem child won't be here anymore, and that will be the end of what was always a temporary problem, since there's no such thing as a permanent person anyway. No matter the person, their lifespan is temporary.

Luxury Problem

Having so much of something nice, that it becomes a problem.
In other words: Luxury that leads to problems.

If someone speaks of such a problem, you are likely to give big sarcastic "boo-hoo" response.

"I have so much beer, I don't have enough place to store it."
- Luxury problem

I found so much gold, I can't carry it home anymore.

I'm so goodlooking, people always think I'm shallow.

My skin is wrinkly, cause I sat in a jacuzzi all day.

My back hurts, cause my mother hugs me so much.

My problem with determinism

Is how it's supposed existence is demonstrated, right? They usually use this binary prompt-response scenario. Like "Think of a city. Now did you pick the the specific city or was it random?" And I think that's the wrong way to conceptualize it.

Hym "So, my problem with determinism (at least in this example of determinism) is that although I don't choose the specific city, I still activate the 'mode' that searches for city and I can choose not to do it and prevent a city from coming to mind OR I can misfire. It's like a hat with with slips of paper in it and, on the slips of paper, are the names of cities. Now, you can prompt me to think of 'city.' I can choose to reach into the hat. And only then do I get a random city. But what I DON'T get is 'Nissan' or 'helicopter' or 'banana' or 'dog.' I activate the mode that searches for city and I reach into the hat. See, as I have it conceptualized, thought exists in this nebulous, un-articulated format. So, to get language I need to activate some kind of process. And prompt response ISN'T THE SAME as what I'm doing when I'm monologing. I'm running that nebulous, un-articulated thought-matter through a lexicon that corresponds with my native language. But I am that which activates modes. I can can turn it on or off like a switch. It can also misfire while I'm not paying attention. So, yeah... I think it's a failure to properly conceptualize and a failure to compartmentalize."

google problem

An embarrassing phrase or fact that comes up at the top of the search results when your name is Googled.

That dude has a google problem.

Königsberg Bridge Problem

The Königsberg Bridge Problem is a historical puzzle asking if it's possible to walk through the city of Königsberg, crossing each of its seven bridges exactly once. Leonhard Euler proved it's impossible because there were more than two landmasses connected by an odd number of bridges, a key insight that laid the foundation for graph theory.

Graph Theory People: I love the Königsberg Bridge Problem.
