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."

Pussy Determined

Hanging with a girl and let her pretend she tells you what to do.so you can have sex with her resulting in success. Instead of being pussy whipped where the girl controls you and tells you what to do resulting in failure.
Pedro: I don't think I can make it tomorrow hanging out with the girl
Jose: Wow you're already pussy-whipped
Pedro:I would say I'm pussy determined..I have to show interest to get laid.

Dot-determined

When someone is attracted or likes to eat/lick dots, they are dot-determined.
Look at Greg, he is so dot-determined, he licks the dots on the wall when nobody is looking.
