The steam awards are the one awards ceremony that I think have regularly poor picks, but this year the voters had shockingly good taste.

Normally the steam awards winners are real stinkers, but the voters had shockingly good taste this year.

I'll give the author a modicum of credit, I didn't know wood banks were a thing, so at least I learned something. But gotta lambast them everywhere else.

Rural America knows the truth long before the rest of the country feels it.

Rural America wouldn't know the truth if it bit them in the ass. This is what they voted for, a silver spoon city slicker who calls functioning institutions "the deep state" before totally destroying them, to their delight.

The article is full of this coddling "woe is they" language.

Rural families don’t get to pretend. ... They also know what it means when everything gets privatized except the consequences.

What a load of baloney. Rural voters have been playing pretend my entire life, to the tune of 64% support for Trump in 2024. They've been pretending that piss-down economics works since the 80's. Maybe you mean they can't afford to pretend, but they've been happily running a deficit on that front and won't stop even if they freeze in the winter.

So I say let them freeze. They can beg for scrap wood and call it charity, because that's exactly what they wanted.

I see a new spam account among the new users section, but I don't see a way to report their profile? They don't have any comments, threads, or posts yet so I can't use the report functions there. Any ideas?

This is the technology worth trillions of dollars huh

Er der nogen danskere, der kan svare på et spørgsmål for mig? Jeg læser om Positivlisten for at arbejde i Danmark. Hvis en udlænding skal søge job i Danmark, hvad skal vedkommende så have først? Et arbejdsvisum eller et tilbud om ansættelse? Kræver det ene dokument det andet?

Can any Danish people answer a question for me?

I stuck it out on kbin.social for as long as it lasted, and just sort of swore off social media after it finally went under. Yet here I am...

So does anyone have the "let me explain, no there is too much, let me sum up" of the last 2 years? What sexy new features did mbin pick up while I was gone?
