There is a paywall.

Those that have read the article, what countries are the researchers moving to?

Everyone, where would you move to?

[–] blakenong@lemmings.world 9 points 3 weeks ago

lol, your question should be, “what country will accept your application”

[–] ArmoredThirteen@lemmy.zip 5 points 3 weeks ago

I'm moving to Sweden. They have been investing a lot into game dev work which is what I want to be doing so I'm going to get my degree there

I updated the post with an archive link, but it's a video article, so the good parts aren't in text

But, funnily enough, I was able to click the Play icon on the video even with the paywall lmao

Thanks for adding the archive link!

Answer: Canada

[–] blakenong@lemmings.world 6 points 3 weeks ago

They don’t just take anyone. You have to qualify. And 90% of Americans DONT. So, have a backup plan.

Do you know how hard it is to get residency in Canada?

[–] Peppycito@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Of you have $2m Quebec will sell you one.

[–] MagicShel@lemmy.zip 5 points 3 weeks ago

Best I can do is tree fiddy.

[–] MNByChoice@midwest.social 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Is it sell, or let them hold?

I ask as some places will let a person buy a $500K house and be allowed in. (One can sell the house when they leave.)

[–] Peppycito@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I think you need 2m in the bank and loan them 1m for two years.

[–] MNByChoice@midwest.social 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

So $3 million?

There are cheaper countries...

[–] Peppycito@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 weeks ago

Sorry, no bargains.

Nah… anywhere it regularly snows is not fit for human habitation

[–] MNByChoice@midwest.social 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

What an odd take. Humans are adapted to snow, and the cold kills mosquitoes. Humans should only live where it snows.

[–] MisanthropiCynic@lemm.ee 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

We are not adapted to snow. If you cannot stand in a climate completely naked and not die from lack of temperature regulation, you are not adapted to it.

[–] MNByChoice@midwest.social 3 points 3 weeks ago

Of course we are. We adapted by making and wearing clothing. We build shelters, fires, and furnaces.
