moyya··on Input: Fonts for Code
The first TTF link doesn't display anything on my machine (no characters display in the font install dialogs). Second version looks pretty rough scaled up imo.

Dina looks great in those images -- but at 10pt on my 1440p monitor in VS Code (Win10), it's basically unusable. And I have excellent vision.
moyya··on We know music is pleasurable, the question is why?
Honestly, I can't tell if the poster is just trying to live up to his/her username or not. The comments make little sense.

Just curious why you explicitly "hope there is no cure"? Seems like an odd wish. If music has little to no effect on you now, why would you even care? Furthermore if a "cure" did exist, what would be the downside of trying it?
moyya··on Psychedelics Promote Structural and Functional Neural Plasticity
Agreed about the trip sitter!

In fact, my downward spiral was instigated by another person who was tripping with me. He told me we were severely dehydrated (no, we were just severely high) and needed water asap. This prompted frantically running to a residential area asking people for water, and the rest is hell.

I can echo this sentiment, as a normally soft-spoken guy who was arrested while completely out of his mind on psilocybin. My perception of reality was utterly shattered; I thought I had died and that my mind was transported into a realm of eternal torture. I'll never forget the dread I experienced while being forced to the asphalt and handcuffed by police officers on the side of the road. They took me to a hospital where I believed the medical staff were preparing to physically mutilate me (keep in mind, I was handcuffed the entire time...I felt helpless). When a nurse asked my name and address, I just broke down and started bawling. Apparently they gave me a sedative, and I woke up later to find my family sitting around me crying.

Psychedelics have an amazing propensity for good, but they can also destroy you. Tread carefully.
