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.
Hey.
So, as I have discussed it with some of you here, our almonds have been activated, but even weaponised autism bodies need the fuel.
All jokes aside, inflation is crazy everywhere. Just ordering some stuff was viable some time ago, but it's getting less so. Plus, tasty food is good for your general well-being and making it so is not only a skill all adults should have in my opinion (you are strong, independent adults, learn life skills that make you depend less on everyone else), but it can also be fun.
As much as I would love to feed you all, that's obviously impossible. The next best thing is, I curate a little collection of recipes and break it down so you can make it with relatively simple ingredients that don't depend on specific brands and using from scratch stuff as much as it is viable. Making your own pasta and churning your own butter would be fun, but I work a full time jerb that's not ASMR whisper cooking on Tiktok in a peasant dress.
It's going to be a combination of food from all different kinds. Some Hungarian (none of the war crimes Americans call goulasch), some Asian, some inauthentic shit that will get you cancelled, some mains, pasta, soups, desserts.
So gather around, my friends and eat like kings.
Put a good amount of grind into the game this weekend so far and have had a ton of fun, at the final scenario currently. The premise is a post WW2 Britain taps into some super science and it backfires. What’s shocking and refreshing is the complete and utter lack of “diversity”. It’s a British game about 40s-50s Britain and the characters reflect as such. There’s no super abilities, just guns/melee/stealth/ grenades. Inventory is super limited and the guns are all WW2 level. That said I basically used the pistol/shotgun for the majority because ammo is scarce and a maxed out pistol can headshot most enemies from range. Some creatures/ enemies will fuck you up hard so you have to utilize some stealth on the big guys to shit out damage quickly before they one shot you. There’s crafting but it’s not tiered, one set of resources get you x. Guns can be upgraded a little and there’s some custom guns if you scavenger right (there’s a random cave I popped in which had the best rifle Im using). There’s no deep crafting mechanic, just like the “leveling” is pretty plain, you obtain books to open new skills to invest points you get from BARD caches and random locations. The Game doesn’t have fast travel from anything I’ve seen, but they do hub the map together fairly well so it’s not the worst. The gameplay at its core is a scavenger hunt with puzzles and combat thrown in. You find notes, they give you clues, you figure out clues, the chain moves on. What’s extremely refreshing is the game doesn’t hold your hand, the items you need at said to be at x zone, not marked constantly on the hud, you can set objectives but they don’t “guide” you, they remind you of the location to go to. There’s competing storylines which interact with each other to create multiple endings and again, the game doesn’t hold your hand, I came across a route purely by exploring curiosity and reading notes. In fact I did almost everything “out of order” just exploring and enjoying the game, the game doesn’t punish you for this or constrain you for it either. It’s not a grand length game or overtly genre defining. It’s a fun, unique story with some pretty good graphics and way better writing than any other game in recent memory. Well worth a play, especially considering the lack of new content in that genre currently, playing through I kept getting flashbacks of Bioshock Infinite with some fallout esque enemies. I would say an 8/10 overall
This is the new topic du jour on X. The opposing camps roughly fall into people who think that building a $30M app should make you a shoo-in, and people who think that he was rightly rejected based on his personal statement.
I have some sympathy for the first position given that DEI still has to be eradicated, but this is one of those strange circumstances where I'll side with the second. One can set aside the issue of whether a minority with a 1300 SAT got into Harvard in the same cycle, because even if you completely eliminated DEI admits you're still left with far more top-SAT, top-GPA applicants than you have positions.
So what's left? Incredible, elite achievements, but also, the kid sounds like a jerk. First, he brags about how much money he made at each stage of life instead of any way he helped people and disfavorably contrasts his classmates to himself. He follows this up with a one-two combo of a press release for his app plus bragging about not needing college.
Then his moment of euphoria comes when he compares himself to Steve Jobs at a Japanese tourist site where he is hit with a ChatGPT banality from the heavens, complete with 4 hyphens.
Sorry to say it, but the essay sounds like a parody. I'm left to wonder how closely his success story in Silicon Valley parallels Elizabeth Holmes/Theranos. Either way, it's clear that no one, including the kid himself, knows why he wants to go to Harvard.
edit: "my motivation of going to college is just to have a social life." Yeah, a multimillionaire who's mainly interested in catching up his party life does not need college, or vice versa. I second some people's idea that he should just buy an apartment in Boston and start a tech incubator or something.

For anyone who missed the story, here's Snopes begrudgingly admitting what Elon musk said is true, though nitpicking the finer points here and there. The short version, though, is that the OPM can only process around 10k applications a month, because all the records and all the processing is done in an old mine shaft in pennsylvania, and the bottleneck is moving paperwork up and down the mineshaft via elevators.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not against keeping paper hard copies of important documents, including personnel and retirement documents, but why is that the only way the documents can be processed, and why aren't there digital and other analog formats retained there as well!?! Why isn't there an active effort to a) dig a new shaft for servers and b) start digitizing files for faster access times?
It gets even dumber, because even with a fully-hard-copy-only system, it's not hard to figure out that the guy who's in his sixties and been overlooked for promotion four or five times in a row already is liable to retire soon, so why aren't they preemptively getting the paperwork ready and organized for likely retirees ahead of time, so they can be processed more quickly when that time comes!?!
For many years now, the UK courts have been giving preferential treatment to everyone except white men.
The release of two-tier treatment in black and white text appeared to make it official, but Kier Starmer "saves the day" by claiming they will fast track legislation to overturn the new guidelines.
This is starting to smell like a psy-op to squash the "two-tier Kier" meme.
The courts will continue to give special treatment to muh noble savages and nothing is actually better for white Brits.
