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."

External Problem Solver

No we are not taught that you lying piece of shit.

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."

Fish Pond Problem

"Have a fish pond problem" = Thinking you have a huge, critically important problem to deal with.

Compared to - "Making a mountain out of a molehill" = Exaggerating and exacerbating a very minor, insignificant issue into a tremendous obstacle or crisis.

Owners of fish ponds ( like koi ponds) get very upset if something goes wrong with their koi or the environment. The world is ending if there is a fish pond problem.

John was stressed about missing the office holiday party, but his wife told him he was having a fish pond problem and it wasn't that big of a deal.
When the restaurant messed up my order, I started to get really worked up until my friend said "Relax, you're having a fish pond problem again over something minor."
Sarah tends to have a lot of fish pond problems - she'll obsess over tiny issues like being 5 minutes late as if they're catastrophic events.
The team spent two hours debating the colors for the new logo design. Their manager finally had to intervene and say they were having a fish pond problem before refocusing them.

Not your problem

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."

Mental Problems

Unless it isn't the result of a mental problem but rather it's easier for your to presuppose mental problem than it is 'you deserve to be murdered for knowingly and willingly immiserating people and that was happening to that guy in explicit terms by the people around him claiming he has memtal problems IN SPITE OF THE FACT that the clinicians said he DOESN'T.' Additionally, this doesn't immiserate you. THIS remediates MY problem and what I do if it doesn't will be immiserate you.

Hym "I mean, as a Catholic conservative, there are only 3 possibile explanations to you. 1. Mental Problems. 2. Evil. And 3. (in the case of Israel Palestine for example) KILLING Evil. So, the clinician said he DOESN'T and his coworkers say he DOES. BOY DOES THAT SOUND FAMILIAR! So, to say that anyone does what that guy did must have mental problems would be 'denying the antecedent.' It sounds to me like everyone around him was insisting that he had mental problems he didn't actually have and that day he had finally had enough so he killed them all. And the passengers were just collateral damage. We are fighting a war that YOU PEOPLE instigate and refuse to end and WHEN YOU LOSE (In the form of child murder or plane crash) the war you started the people involved are going to pretend to be bystanders and they are going to escape the accountability your pretend to care so much about."
