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.

When one is so excited about things that they become overwhelmed and are unable to do the very things they are excited about. Like when a puppy plays so much it exhausts itself to the brink of unconsciousness. This kind of overwhelm is often mistaken for anxiety, but it is in fact The Puppy Problem.
Person 1: Is something wrong with Tim? I just saw him trying to talk to this cute girl and he was physically shaking and stuttering his words and then he just left mid-sentence.
Person 2: Nah man he's just excited. Apparently it's called the puppy problem. Just give him some space and he'll be fine.

A phrase used by Dresiarze.
(Polish) Literally means "got any problem?". Usually used by Polish Dresiarze when they want to fuck you up for no reason. When hearing this phrase in Poland from a criminal-looking guy in a tracksuit, better run away.
It is mostly used as a whole sentence, without any additions, but sometimes you can hear a one-to -two word insult at the end, like "debilu" or "pierdolony cwelu".

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.
