Honestly, maybe two hours? I'm not much of a gamer anyways, but the little experience I had with the game focused too much on cars for my liking. I hear there are mods that fix that but I never got around to installing any.

Don't quote me on this, but I think you'd have to add --volumes

My friends would all tell you how tired they are of hearing me go on and on about urban planning and infrastructure.

The ways in which our communities are built have such a large and profound impact on our lives, yet most people give little thought to it. IMO a great deal of the social woes we're dealing with (at least in North America) are caused or made worse by our lack of sensible city-planning, from carbon emissions to social isolation.

There exists so many cool and interesting ways to build solid, sustainable communities! It's really exciting! Sadly I have to live that excitement by researching other countries. The only form of city-planning that seems to exist here in Canada is "highway going through a parking lot interspaced with strip malls and encircled by single-family housing suburbs".

In my area (New Brunswick, Canada) you do a written test (+eye exam) to obtain your learner's permit (class 7.1) which costs 25 dollars.

With a class 7.1 permit, you must be accompanied at all times by one (and only one) passenger who has their full licence and minimum three years of driving experience. At this level, there's a zero-tolerance policy for BAC above 0%. Additionally, driving outside the hours of 5:00 a.m. to midnight is forbidden. After a year (or 8 months, if you choose to attend a driver training school & graduate) you're eligible to take a road test for your class 7.2 licence.

With a class 7.2 permit, you're allowed up to three passengers, with no need for them to have drivers licences. You're now allowed to drive between midnight and 5 a.m. but only for work/education purposes or if accompanied by a passenger with their full licence (unless you're above 21 in which case no night time restrictions) Zero percent BAC still applies until age 21 at this level.

When you're 18 years-old or older and have minimum 2 years of driving experience, you're eligible for your full (class 5) licence. This might all sound like a lot when written out but it is extraordinarily easy to obtain a permit here. I messed up decently bad on my road test and the instructor basically said "eh, don't do that OK? Alright you pass."

Presenting the pricing as if it represents a bulk discount when it doesn't.

The only reason to do this is to trick people who can't do multiplication into buying more.

Hey no worries, we all have our bad days. Props for owning up to it! Apologies if I ever came off as rude as well.

Hope you feel better soon 💕

Well in any case, if you were the only one, you aren't anymore.

Why in the hell are government and bank logins literally the least secure logins I have??

My bank doesn't let you set an actual password, only a 6 digit pin, and the only 2FA available is SMS codes. I have better security on Lemmy than I do for my fuckin' financial institution!

This service is the most dystopian thing I've seen in a while.

"You know what's gonna fix democracy? Reducing civic engagement to having AI generate letters based off AI-generated articles to send to our representatives, who will filter and summarize them using AI, and plug the input into the law-making AI! The downfall of democracy was humanity's capacity for independent thought!"

I think their comment is more a critique of wage labour than a misunderstanding of it.
