Problem-tunity

An opportunity can lie within a problem. Problem solving can have a very positive and unexpected outcome.

TURN A PROBLEM INTO AN OPPORTUNITY, resulting in improvement or advancement. A PROBLEM IS REALLY AN OPPORTUNITY. It's like the saying, "The solution lies within the problem." A person shouldn't fear, neglect, or ignore problems because the very ACT of addressing them can open new doors and allow one to grow.
Example #1
Someone at a business meeting is complaining about mistakes made by the receptionist when taking down messages. The problem-tunity here is to take some positive action: perhaps submit some protocal that can be used as a company model and/or part of training. It would take the complainer and turn them into a positive employee in the eyes of management.

Example #2
A Bully at school is trying to con a Kid out of lunch money. The Kid usually hides or goes out of their way to avoid the Bully. Problem = Bully focusing on the Kid and creating shame or embarassment. Opportunity = Kid using the attention from the Bully creatively to befriend them and become allies.

Problem

Iam "That's the problem. I thought you wanted to teach people TO think. You want to teach them HOW to think. YOUR way. And if they can't think, and they have no credentials, all they can do is accept the propositions you posit and give you their money. If they can't think then you have no right to take their money. They are paying you to accept your propositions without thinking about them. It boils down to 'go back to your walled garden and crank the crank until until something happens. Good or bad or nothing. That's your responsibility to the horde. You need me to validate your religion. And you need your religion because without it you're blind.' and you're selling something that isn't yours to people who can't think well enough to tell that you don't believe the thing your selling."

Hym "maybe some people can't learn to think..." 🤷

Iam "Then how is maps of meaning going to be the way that people think in 50 years? The people who can ALREADY think are going to replace their way of thinking? The people who can't learn how to think are just going to accept his propositions and do what he tells them? He wants to be the woke! He wants to do what they do. Most people can't think so they'll have no choice but to accept my (propositions instead of the woke types) and if you have a contrarian propositions I'm not against using collective Un-Truth against you."

Hym "Holy shit! That sounds worse than Orwell when you put it like that! That is some new world order shit! Hahahaha!"

Rambo-Topper problem

In first-person shooters, the idea of firing fully automatic weapons in long streams at a single human target. A corrolary to the Stormtrooper effect.

Newbs andnoobs often have this problem, probably due to the thrill of firing a weapon they (hopefully) don't have in real life at high rates of fire. However, pros do it too. (Admit it!) It exclusively affects users of submachine guns (especially when dual-wielding) and full machine guns. Assault rifles are less prone to this, and semi-automatic/single-shot weapons do not experience this at all.

In general, firing machine guns in short bursts is more accurate, as barrel climb and recoil don't take effect, allowing more bullets to hit a small, moving target. It also wastes less ammo. However, stream firing has its uses, such as supressive fire against large groups of people or against large targets like vehicles.

Named after Rambo and Topper Harley from "Hot Shots: Part Deux", a mid-1990s Rambo parody. Both are infamous for firing large machine guns with seemingly unlimited ammunition.
