https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hero%27s_journey

The Meeting with the Goddess - This is where the hero gains items given to him that will help him in the future.

Atonement with the Father/Abyss - In this step, the hero must confront and be initiated by whatever holds the ultimate power in their life. In many myths and stories, this is the father or a father figure who has life-and-death power. This is the center point of the journey. All the previous steps have been moving into this place, all that follow will move out from it. Although an encounter with a male entity most frequently symbolizes this step, it does not have to be a male—just someone or something with incredible power.

It all seems like a stretch to me. Someone found/created these in a story, maybe some other folks repeat the pattern, but some significant portion is just errors in our pattern recognition, people applying these themes post-hoc.

Eh. Even mediatek chips are getting to the point where they’re enough. Chip doesn't really matter anymore.

As an iPhone owner and former pixel owner, pixels are more premium, cost less, work better, but depreciate faster. I look forward to the day I replace this with a pixel.

Mayo is 99% plant based already. Just a little egg yolk to act as a surfactant.

They can’t prosecute the rich, why even bother investigating them.
