Fun fact: Vancouver is in Canada, and in Canada there’s no such thing as a felony or a misdemeanor.

Also the cops handing out traffic tickets, and the cops doing narcotics investigations are different people.
The weird definition of intelligence they are using (how to succeed in life) does kind of cover that. The definition of what success is, and the millions of ways of achieving it covers just about all variations.
To be fair, 5 million cubic kilometers of gold is going to be enormously expensive to move.

Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•Netflix is garbageEnglish
7·20 days agoIn this case, the ads are probably bringing in less per viewer than the service costs, so having non-paying viewers is still a net negative.
Clamping down on this is probably a worse negative in the long run, but investors only care about this quarter.

1·21 days agoWhat people can do and what they actually tend to do are often extremely different things. And when you’re trying to sell a house, the idea is to get as many buyers as possible, so that you can get the most money. Whether it’s interesting or boring doesn’t matter.

4·22 days agoThe after pictures look like a house being staged for sale, which means any colour and details that used to exist would have been removed to give buyers a “blank slate” look to work with. That’s why you keep seeing this same look in house listings, while very few people ever actually live in an interior that looks like that.

4·22 days agoWhen putting a house up for sale, you don’t paint the house white because of a shitty interior designer, you paint it white so that the buyer can easily paint it what they want. If, for example, you paint the walls red, and the buyer wants white, it’s going to take forever to get the red to stop bleeding through the white. Going from white to another colour however, is very quick and easy.

And no flying to Toronto, Montreal, or Vancouver? I know for a fact he didn’t drive there from the Webequie First Nation.

Games@lemmy.world•Time to bring back physical media on PC?English
9·2 months agoI doubt it. At least for all but the most viral of indie games. Manufacturing physical copies is expensive and would involve minimum order quantity from suppliers.
Not going to lie, if you make a cereal with scantily clad women on the box, I’ll probably buy it at least once, just out of curiosity. Definitely taking that through the self checkout though.
Sounds kind of like the ideal wedding attitude to me. Light on the symbolism, heavy on the “one last rager to remind ourselves that we’re actually kinda too old to be doing that anymore”.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What does the word data mean per se ?
7·2 months agoThe GB version is more specific than the general term “data”. In this case, it specifically refers to 2 billion bytes (each byte being 8 bits, a “bit” being a 1 or a 0). But in the general sense, “data” can be a synonym for “information” which has many definitions, some of which are pure physics concepts.

How do you define “moving water”? Even a puddle is going to have little convection currents going.
