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.

Get the Fish Pond Problemmug. Hym "The problem is... You don't care either way. Your moral superiority is a delusion. You're provoking violence in the hopes that it happens to someone else so that you can be rid of me. You aren't 'good people' and I'm not 'the wrong type of person.' You're literally child sacrificers and I deserve success more than you because I'm BETTER THAN YOU. You deserve your shit life. Your life is shit. You want my life to be shit. I'm not going to allow you to drag me with you."

Get the The Problemmug. I had a dream the other night about the song "Champagne Problems" by Nick Jonas and decided in my dream that calling someone a "champagne problem" is a witty insult that insinuates their parents drank too much one day and that's the only reason they were conceived.

Get the champagne problemmug. 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."

- 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.
