Time for a new name for your loud extendable flute, what about lextaf and plugging it into daily conversation?
“Hello sir, I’m playing lextaf, are you playing lextaf? Let us lextafeers lextaf with our lextafs and forget about our current political headaches.”

If you say that I assume you either only used older services or your prompt skills are lacking.
ChatGPT 4 is really advanced and can create long coherent fluid texts (with source references). You can also ask it to write as a student or any other target and it will match writing styles quite well.

I love it. Less social interaction after a long day of work, I can keep my headphones on. It’s a bliss for me.

I wanted to pedantically correct you about the a / an… but then realised you got me.
- Comment on Anon goes out with friends 3 months ago:
Well to be fair, to get out of the situation that makes you feel that way is pretty similar as to remove yourself from it.
But I’m being pedantic, I do get what you mean of course. Personally I’m not really against ending ones own life per se, only the dramatic options that usually lead to all kinds of trauma should be looked at. We can handle this as a society with a gentle support for those who’d like to pass away.
It can be an acceptable solution to ones pain; but for the sake of your surroundings it should perhaps not be the first.

A few comments below taught me that it apparently originates from this meme where it was a mix of a typo and a loving description of a suicidal person.

I assume you live in the USA? In Europe most coffees are just singular items you order, with exceptions in buffets / sometimes hotels.

- Comment on Dawkins 6 months ago:
Interesting, thanks for sharing. It really does seem out of place to suddenly reference the suffering of Muslim women in this context.
He seems to elaborate in that he just thinks this case was an overreaction on the side of the woman who felt uneasy, but that of course is a different discussion. We’re not comparing suffering here. I understand the negativity he seems to have brought up on himself better now.
- Comment on Dawkins 6 months ago:
Do you have a source for that; what I could find in a quick Google about his statements on rape is his arguments on X is bad and Y is worse. Which is more of a logical argument, but this does not include “a Muslim would have done worse”.
Quote by him: “Date rape is bad. Stranger rape at knifepoint is worse. If you think that’s an endorsement of date rape, go away and learn how to think.”
These statements are bound to be controversial as people might somehow interpret X is not bad as Y is worse. But I would disagree, this is more of a thought experiment in which you can always have a worse situation.
- Comment on Dawkins 6 months ago:
His wording is a bit harsh, but I don’t think what he says should receive such a backlash. He expresses hard stances on religion as well, which can hurt people in a similar way as that’s also part of their identity.
I think he’s not entirely accurate here though, as there can really be biological mixes / nuances in the sex of people. Even if you exclude the gender discussion on top. It’s all just a gradual thing I’d guess, even possibly inconsistent in ‘percentage’ on different parts of the body.
And all in all it’s also dependent on our culture how we perceive some things as feminine and masculine.
I don’t get why we can’t agree that biologically people tend to be on a multidimensional spectrum, which sometimes is too ambiguous for the naked eye to pin a binary value on. Even scientifically it could be difficult to determine. Above all, on the gender side we indeed should have the courtesy to trust how someone feels and likes to be perceived in this world.
But we can also not blame people for expressing uneasiness if the biological sex and gender are too far apart in how we defined it culturally over thousands of years. One cannot avoid some conflict there.
Hopefully we can try to better ourselves and respect others, in both ways.

But if you cut the corpus callosum of the brain in half, it’s possible to have two operating systems that conflict with each other in actions in the body.

Floaters are one thing, but what about the internal electric / static activity you can see, what is that called? I was always way more intrigued by that than some eyeball sludge.
Do you see a reflection of neural activity or something? Just like floaters they’re only visible when looking at larger plain things with 1 colour. They seem projected, and less obvious than the floaters but more common in your whole view
- Comment on Cloudflare Employee records her final meeting where HR tries to fire her 10 months ago:
The point is, laying all these people off with performance as reason protects Cloudflare in not having to pay extra (which would be legally needed if the employee was not at fault).
This is probably not any kind of proof she can use, but it does make people aware of how Cloudflare operates.
It’s understandable companies have to fire people and as an employee you’d probably do best to accept the harsh reality of a business. But if they really sell fake causes of lay-offs (not only hurting the employee mentally, but also financially by bypassing rightful compensation, by law), this should be known by the public.
To be fair though, we cannot confirm her statements to be true either. But I think it’s an interesting share nonetheless.
- Comment on When people say that apps are stealing your data, what exactly does that mean? 10 months ago:
That’s true, although I believe you still have to give permission to an app to use this (at least on Android). Not to say that people won’t accept things way too fast.

It feels so weird to me that the small change in degrees might actually kill a virus. I mean, wouldn’t all viruses by now have become accustomed to “warmer climates”?
Or is it a cat / mouse game, our bodies being able to heat up more and them getting more fire resistant by the year. Was a fever less hot a couple of hundred years ago?
