I’ve been using kitty for a few months now as my primary editor and have tried out about a dozen coding fonts because I think they’re neat, I’ve never had an issue getting kitty to find and load them.
I enjoy staying in hostels when I travel, specifically because I always meet someone interesting. There’s always someone from another country, or going to an interesting event, or from a religion I hadn’t had exposure to, or something else new and novel.
You’re sharing a room by default, and people willing to do that seem more likely to be fascinating and willing to tell you about it.
I am also a massive introvert, so it works well for me to know that once we’re done sharing stories I will never have to see them again.
For me, this is a role that MUDs used to fill. Text-based online games with player driven governments, economies, and theologies. You, as a person, could work your way up a ladder to be a renown combatant, or diplomat, or merchant; but, none of that had any value if not for the other people playing the game. You got dropped off in a virtual world and truly had agency to play a role.
Ultimately as I got older they became too much of a time sink and I just can’t play them anymore, but back in my high school days they were an absolute blast.
I don’t want to get drawn into a negativity thing here, but I think this is important:
> And I don’t think that part is an opinion, it is the interpretation of a fact
You’re describing an opinion here. Your interpretation is your opinion. You’re certainly entitled to it and I think discussion is healthy, but I also think it’s dangerous to conflate your opinion (interpretation) of a fact as the fact itself.
