"Tall guy problem" is a term used to describe a situation where, during a potentially confrontational or threatening moment, shorter individuals and women tend to avoid getting involved physically. This expectation arises from the assumption that taller guys are generally bigger and stronger, so they are often seen as the ones who should handle such situations. The term points out the stereotype of relying on height and physical strength to deal with conflicts.
Person A: "Did you see the argument at the club last night?"
Person B: "Yeah! Typical tall guy problem. Everyone left it to Tom, the tallest guy, to handle it."
Person A: "He handled it well, though."
Person B: "True, but being tall doesn't mean you're automatically the peacemaker."

Get the tall guy problemmug. When a project gets made by a technical person, which leads that person to subconsciously optimize it for other technical people instead of user friendliness, thus attracting a user base of technical people, which contribute to the product to reinforce that cycle even more.

A shit-filled skeleton in a meat-suit "We have a gun problem!"
Hym "No... We don't. We have a neurotic piss-pants who doesn't actually care problem. Drugs are banned. People still get drugs. YOU want the drugs NOT to be banned. You already DID the thing you WANT to do to would be shooters to the Maine Man. Didn't work. It's never going to work. Because it isn't a gun problem."
A shit-filled skeleton in a meat-suit "But the other countries though!"
Hym "Yeah yeah, the other countries don't have guns do you know what ELSE the other countries don't have? YOU, ya bitch. YOU. You've been making the same argument for 50 years apparently and you expect something to change. And it's not going to. And you don't care. Because you can sit and regurgitate 50 year old rhetoric into a camera for free money. You don't have a gun problem. You have a people wanting to kill you and your kids problem. Why do they want to do that? Did you ask? How specific were they? If they were specific I bet you a million dollars you would fabricate A DIFFERENT REASON from the one they gave you and try to fix your own made-up imaginary problem instead! I bet you would shit-skull! Go! Go look yourself in the mirror and tell yourself you wouldn't."

Get the my problems were myriadmug. Hym "We are not taught that. You are still trying to internalize external problems. I do not feel shame. Some people want me to feel shame and are actively shaming me. The harassment and surveillance is occurring and is being used to make easier the theft of my property. That isn't me being an external problem solver. This is 'all roads leading to Rome for the therapeutic system of control?' Are you being stalked and harassed in a manor that mirrors the delusions of reference commonly associated with schizophrenia? Then, SOMEHOW, the solution is 'giving a therapist control of how I interpret information and DOING NOTHING about that... And instead of doing what they did about sexual harassment and SUING THE PLACES ALLOWING IT AND FIRING THE PEOPLE WHO DO IT... I just need to let this lying retarded piece of shit tell me how to delude myself about what's happening. We need to murder these fucking therapists (in a video game). Murder them (in a video game) until they do it right. They do not need to live."

Get the External Problem Solvermug. Neither is Anti-Semitism! Neither is Palestinian genocide! That one isn't even vaguely analogous to any of YOUR problems.
Hym "It's not your problem. But neither is anything else that isn't happening directly to you. So, whether or not a problem is yours has any relationship to how you act in the world."
