I was fixing my rusted brake line and it turned out to be a fractal problem with having to then fix leaks and still having fixing to do

You know what, I'm going to take a different route with this one. I was going to say something else (Which you likely saw) but I'm going to pivot and say this instead: If Forrest Gump is "real" in the same way that the bible is "real" then there is is no REAL moral significance to the moral presuppositions. Additionally, if the book needs to be interpret by someone who doesn't believe in the underlying axioms for people draw accurate conclusions... Then the book itself is not an accurate lens through with to view the world. His entire case for the bible is literally just "What? The glasses your wearing have ink all over them? Don't worry. I'll just tell what's happening." And then he reaches into you wallet and takes your money and then he guides you straight into a wall and walks away.
Hym "Not my problem he says. You just want the moral authority of God for yourself and if you amswer the question honestly you lose it immediately. So you obfuscate the nature of 'truth' and 'real' to appease your own conscience."

A situation that arises during software development in which one developers build works perfectly (we call this the David build) whilst all other builds are completely fucked.
Dev 1: "Oh man, why isn't this building!!"
Dev 2: "What do you mean? It's building fine for me and we are running the same version.. ?"
Dev 1: "Why must you constantly create the David Problem..."

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."

When the father that a woman had was physically present but emotionally not available. Similar context to "daddy issues" where the father is physically absent, etc.
She didn't exactly have 'daddy issues', it was more like father problems.
If you simp for Dabi, you have daddy issues, but if you simp for Nanami, then you have father problems.
