I've created a list of rules as below, they will likely change later, but they are here for the purposes of establishing a base level of social order:
ONE: Do not post Illegal Activity. Also, do not post any manifesto's done by terrorists, active shooters, serial felons rationalizing such things, or promoting such things, even if your content does not endorse the message.
TWO: Do not engage in speech that promotes, advocates, glorifies, or endorses violence.
THREE: Do not threaten, harass, or bully users; and do not encourage others to do so on or off-line; nor make per se defamatory states at users.
FOUR: Do not post ISM. Involuntary Salacious Material means NSFW material of a manner that was not intentionally made public. This is the "upskirt", "revenge porn", and "private intimate photos" rule.
FIVE: Do not post Porn
SIX: Content that contains nudity, pornography, or profanity, which a reasonable viewer may not want to be seen accessing in a public or formal setting such as in a workplace should be tagged as NSFW. Any material of a titillating nature must be marked NSFW.
SEVEN: Do not post Facebook accounts, individuals who's twitters are less than 500 followers, private/personal information that is not publicly available, addresses, or participate, encourage, or engage in any doxxing campaign.
EIGHT: Do not intentionally deceive others by impersonating another. This does not apply to satire.
NINE: No person shall use communities.win sites (including kotakuinaction2.win) to solicit, facilitate any transaction, or gift including: ... ATF defined firearms or ammo as defined by the ATF, Bump-stock type devices, Explosives, 3D printing files to produce the aforementioned, controlled substances, Drugs, Alcohol, Tobacco, Stolen goods, Paid services involving physical sexual contact, Personal Information, Falsified Official Documents, Falsified Currency, Fraudulent Services, Pharmaceuticals
TEN: No vote manipulation. Do not break communities.win's features.
ELEVEN: Do not post spam. If you are self-advertising, you must have sufficiently engaged in the sub prior to your post, and you must engage with the users when they comment in your post. Spam will also include repeated messages and comments that are done with no effort to add to the conversation.
TWELVE: Do not post intentional falsehoods or hoaxes. Yes, the Elders of Zion and other such intentionally fabricated documents fall into this. If your POST is arguably false by the user-base, it may be marked as either misleading or unfounded based on it's factual assertions, particularly in the title.
THIRTEEN: If you have reposted something, it will be removed
FOURTEEN: Do not post more than 5 posts a day to this sub.
FIFTEEN: Do not direct particularly egregious identity based slurs at users. A list will be provided
SIXTEEN: Do not attack entire identity groups as inferior, subhuman, inherently morally deficient, biologically/evolutionary mongrel, or participating in a vast conspiracy to take over the world, ala ZOG-NWO / The Patriarchy.
I talked back and forth about the events/gaming competitions post and how it would work. For the first event, we decided something simple was best. Tetris is pretty simple.
To compete:
You can play with an anonymous name here: https://tetr.io/
Post a comment with the score and a record of gameplay, preferably a link to a video on a platform like odysee vimeo. (I recommend playing a few times, then recording the replay of the top score with something like obs.)
Top score on two minute blitz mode by Friday (April 9) at midnight PST wins.
About little more than a month ago I posted about wanting to do gamedev collab and several brave forum members answered the call.
Here our first proof of concept alpha build for a projectile based arena brawler:

On June 2020 Wikipedia user RGloucester had recently removed mentions of Marxist scholar Trent Schroyer as being the origin of the term Cultural Marxism on his Wikipedia article.
This is censorship, and is likely being done to promote the regressive left's Cultural Marxism denialist conspiracy theory
Is there a place that has a compilation / archive of old comics / art / smuggies with GG points?
One in particular I left behind on my Reddit saved list was a four panel (or six? I don't remember exactly) about two guys who start playing a game and additional guys enter until these girls ask to join. They allow them, then the girls argue about rules and demand they be changed and the new guys agree with them. It ends with the guys leaving the gaming group they created.
Image searching is not pulling up anything relevant, probably because of the algorithm is trying to prevent WrongThink.
I have seen a lot of predictions about this case, and I am curious what people here think about the matter.
Will Derek Chauvin be convicted or acquitted on the main charge, or will there be a hung jury?
Will Derek Chauvin be convicted or acquitted on any lesser charge, or will there be a hung jury?
In the aftermath, will there be rioting and looting if (1) he is convicted on all charges (2) he is convicted on only some of the charges and (3) if he is acquitted on all charges?
I know most people here don't live in The Great State™ but there's a pretty comprehensive set of initiatives moving through our legislature aimed at protecting vaccine hold-outs.
Right now there at are at least six bills targeting this problem from different angles. At least one forbids the state (not private entities) from requiring vaccination as a condition of employment, others prohibit the government from coercing citizens by any means to get vaccinated. A couple provide unemployment benefits to those whose jobs were lost because of their vaccine status. There's one preventing school districts from taking adverse actions against students who refused vaccinations. And a couple attempt to prohibit private entities from discriminating on vaccine status, one of which would institute a civil cause of action against any discriminatory actor.
I don't know what will pass and what won't. The legislators I've talked to were broadly supportive of these initiatives, and the bills have diverse sponsorship which bodes well. I'm gonna keep track of the bills as they move along, so we'll see what happens. I'm hoping we join Texas and Florida as the holy trinity of based states.
Edit: Now that I look, some of these bills got introduced as early as last November. Nice to see some folks were ahead of the game.
Second Edit: A couple of these are stuck in committee, one is dead, some encouraging movement on others. I'm pretty confident we will see several of these pass.
Third Edit: I may start tracking legislation that pertains to resisting Biden's recent "ghost gun" bans and other gun control executive orders. EOs are overridden by legislation, and several states are already working on new laws to harden their 2nd amendment rights. Will have to check on this in the future.
I am wondering if we as a group would be ok with bans on regressive leftist hate speech and possibly other hate speech involving whites and men, as this has become a major issue?
What are your thoughts?
WSB on here is as dead as a doornail, so why not ask here?
I personally consider it overvalued at anything over $100, there are too many competitors and too much volatility - also, the push from mainstream media that COIN will be the next big thing raises red flags.

Biden declares, ‘No amendment to Constitution is absolute’ as he rolls out gun measures
By Steven Nelson April 8, 2021 | 11:57am |
“You can’t yell … ‘fire’ in a crowded movie theater and call it freedom of speech. From the very beginning, you couldn’t own any weapon you wanted to own. From the very beginning that the Second Amendment existed, certain people weren’t allowed to have weapons. So the idea is just bizarre to suggest that some of the things we’re recommending are contrary to the Constitution,” he said.
“Anyone from a criminal to a terrorist can buy this kit [and in] as little as 30 minutes put together a weapon,” Biden said. “I want to see these kits treated as firearms.”
Another action orders the Justice Department to issue a regulation within 60 days that would “make clear when a device marketed as a stabilizing brace effectively turns a pistol into a short-barreled rifle subject to the requirements of the National Firearms Act.”
The White House said in a fact sheet, “The alleged shooter in the Boulder tragedy last month appears to have used a pistol with an arm brace, which can make a firearm more stable and accurate while still being concealable.” However, the alleged gunman passed a federal background check before purchasing his weapon and it’s unclear if the new policy could have meaningfully altered the tragedy.
Another Biden rule orders the Justice Department to propose model legislation on “red flag” laws that states would have the option of adopting. The president said he also wants a national red flag law.
“Red flag laws allow family members or law enforcement to petition for a court order temporarily barring people in crisis from accessing firearms if they present a danger to themselves or others,” the White House fact sheet said.
Biden also is ordering a report from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives on the illegal firearms trade. And on Wednesday, Biden announced that he would nominate gun control advocate David Chipman to lead the ATF.

REVEALED: Biden's nominee for ATF head is an anti-gun lobbyist who was at the Ruby Ridge standoff and Waco massacre – and lied about cult members shooting down helicopters
Biden pick to head the ATF David Chipman held 'Ask Me Anything' Reddit thread last year where he is revealed to have lied about aspects of the Waco Massacre
By KATELYN CARALLE, U.S. POLITICAL REPORTER FOR DAILYMAIL.COM
PUBLISHED: 14:29 EDT, 9 April 2021 | UPDATED: 15:03 EDT, 9 April 2021
Chipman was a special agent with ATF for 25 years, including during the Waco massacre in 1993.
Pictured is a young Chipman, who worked as an ATF agent for 25 years, posing in the aftermath of the Waco siege where 76 Brand Davidian members and five ATF agents died
As a nominee, it's unusual that Chipman's official Twitter page is set to private.
Chipman is currently a senior policy advisor for the gun control advocacy group Giffords. The law center was founded by former Arizona congresswoman Gabby Giffords, who was shot in the head during a 2011 assassination attempt.
Notably, Chipman falsely claimed in a 2020 Reddit post that during the Waco standoff between Branch Davidian religious sect members and ATF agents that cult members shot down two helicopters – something that blatantly did not happen.
It also appears that Chipman was involved in his capacity as an ATF agent in the 1992 Ruby Ridge standoff near Naples, Idaho.
The FBI, U.S. Marshals and ATF all became involved.
Ultimately, Weaver's 14-year-old son, his wife Vicki and their dog were all killed by Marshals and FBI agents. Eventually, Weaver and his three daughters surrendered after an 11-day standoff.

Biden Re-Ignites The Waco Fire
The president’s ATF nominee reminds us of a dark episode of law enforcement lawlessness.
APRIL 13, 2021| 12:01 AM JAMES BOVARD
At the time of the federal assault at Waco, Biden was chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, which had primary oversight jurisdiction over the conduct of federal law enforcement agencies. How did Biden react to an FBI tank and toxic gas assault that ended with shocking carnage? On the day after the fire, Biden “cautioned that lawmakers should wait until all the details become available before it begins second-guessing the Justice Department,” the New York Times reported. Biden declared, “We’ve got to wait to figure out what happened before we have hearings.” Delaying hearings until after the federal agencies that had blundered (or far worse) announced the “facts of the matter” would have horrified earlier generations of congressional leaders who courageously exposed federal lies and cover-ups, from Sen. William Fulbright’s investigation of the Vietnam War in the 1960s to Sen. Frank Church’s investigation of FBI and CIA rampages in the 1970s.
Biden conducted zero hearings on Waco while he was chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee. After Republicans captured control of Congress in the 1994 elections, committee chairman Orrin Hatch (R-UT) held hearings in late 1995. Despite plenty of damning disclosures of federal misconduct at Waco in the prior two years, Biden was emphatic that the real problem was “a growing number of people across the country who are seizing on the incidents at Waco as well as at Ruby Ridge to suggest that law enforcement is our enemy.”
“The record from Waco does not evidence…any improper motive or intent on the part of law enforcement,” Biden declared. Instead, Biden touted “the excellent overall record of the Federal law enforcement agencies, including both the ATF and the FBI.” Biden vindicated the feds: “The ATF had a legitimate and very important reason to be at Waco in the first place, that is, to serve warrants on those reasonably suspected of violating the Federal criminal laws.” But if the ATF Waco search is Biden’s idea of “legitimate,” the next four years will be hell on civil liberties.
The Waco investigation got rolling in July 1992, when ATF agent Davy Aguilera visited the Branch Davidians’ gun dealer, and suggested the Davidians were illegally converting semiautomatic firearms to full automatic firing capacity, a federal felony. When Davidian leader David Koresh was told about that allegation, he invited Aguilera to visit the Davidians’ residence and conduct an on-the-spot inspection. Aguilera refused the invitation and his subsequent affidavit application to search the Davidians’ residence “contained an incredible number of false statements,” according to a 1996 congressional report.

HEARINGS BEFORE THE COMMITTEE ON THE JUDICIARY UNITED STATES SENATE ONE HUNDRED FOURTH CONGRESS FIRST SESSION ON EXAMINING CHANGES IN FEDERAL LAW ENFORCEMENT AS A RESULT OF THE INCIDENT IN WACO, TEXAS OCTOBER 31 AND NOVEMBER 1, 1995
STATEMENT OF HON. JOSEPH R. BIDEN, JR., A U.S. SENATOR FROM THE STATE OF DELAWARE
But there is a big difference between mistakes and malevolence. The record of the Waco incident documents mistakes — mistakes in gathering intelligence and mistakes in planning and executing operational plans. And law enforcement should and must be held accountable for such mistakes.
What the record from Waco does not evidence, however, is any improper motive or intent on the part of law enforcement.
I believe this is a very important point to make to the American public because there are a growing number of people across the country who are seizing on the incidents at Waco as well as at Ruby Ridge to suggest that law enforcement is our enemy.
Which is a totally radical infringement of personal liberties guys. It's their platform to do things as they choose, until it stops people from accessing porn.
