Hey neighbor! Since I am one of the only normal people on this site I thought I would give you guys a quick reality check on current affairs.
1. Mexico is more important than Canada. At least Mexicans have Mexican food. All Canadians have is bad driving and false sense of superiority and endless amounts of Chinese bug people.
2. Canada is a not a serious country to us. Canada is and will always be a joke to America. You are irrelevant 20th century leftovers that only get to live in Canada because nobody else wants to. Its a frozen wasteland filled with mountainous terrain.
3. Canada is a complete shit hole. You might have teenagers fooled on Reddit, but the rest of us have made the unfortunate mistake of visiting your cursed land of mediocre socialism. Your food sucks, your music sucks, your drinks suck, your venues fricking suck, your roads suck, your drivers are the worst. Canada is purgatory realized. Even the fricking orange juice tastes like shit.
So please I know reddit has blown up that off-brand europoor ego of yours, but trust me, it's not reality.

The new administration assembled by President Donald Trump boasts a combined net worth of at least $11.8 billion. The collective wealth of the potential 2024 cabinet is unprecedented for The Cabinet of the United States. Senate confirmation hearings are currently underway in Washington, D.C. β and the potential conflicts of interest for these cabinet members are a fraught topic. We dived into the financial reports and investing strategies of this new administration to understand their financial backgrounds and what this could mean for potential conflicts of interest and insider trading while in office.
Findings
Crypto Enthusiasts 
One finding is that President Trump's nominees are crypto enthusiasts. Data on the stock portfolios of Trump's cabinet nominees tells us that almost half of them have significant crypto holdings. Among the greatest is Sean Duffy, Trump's nominee for Secretary of the Department of Transportation, who holds up to $1.1 million in Bitcoin.
Media Wealth
The second, and less startling finding is that the wealth of the nominees is disproportionately from roles in media. Nominated Secretary of the Department of Defense Pete Hegseth made over $4 million in the past two years as a FOX News Host, based on a recent Office of Government Ethics filing. Nominee Tulsi Gabbard earned over $1 million this year from book advances and speeches β most of which for the Republican Party.

Where to Look Next
Public disclosure of funds allows us to examine the financial profiles for the new cabinet of the United States. Looking at the potential cabinet members holistically, it is apparent that they are united by holding large amounts of wealth. Some of this wealth, of course, will have to be divested if taking office. The Office of Government Ethics requires officials to divest from funds which may pose a conflict of interest β a move which many of Trump's nominees will see as costly.

"During that whole "white terrorism in gaming" thing where people honestly believed a 13 old girl was gang r*ped in a Games Workshop while all the g*mers chanted "Old enough to bleed, old enough to breed" I created an account there and made a few rather innocuous posts.
I was banned within like 3 hours with the ban reason being "Eh, probably a troll account.""
Did anyone here about this madness? It sounds like an amazing moral panic.

π§΅1/19 DeepSeek lied about it's costs.
— tetsuo.ai - e/acc (@7etsuo) February 4, 2025
DeepSeek R1's training did not actually cost only $6 million, that figure was an incomplete and selective representation of the costs. They also have access to around 50,000 Hopper GPUs.
Here's proof.π

In 2009, all Asians in the US had was Joy Luck Club, pandas and "azn." Complete cultural irrelevance and felt like representation peaked in the 90s.
Since then Asian Americans were a major part of some of the defining subcultures of the 2010s: raving, streetwear and designer fashion, anime, K-pop, gaming/streaming, tech bros, millennial wanderlust, MUA YouTube, "cool" chefs and campus politics.
Since the 2020s Asians have continued to take Ws while avoiding any backlash. The newest American ultra billionaire is Asian and is perhaps the only tech billionaire that isn't hated by most of the country, yet. Trump lost in 2020 in part due to backlash from healthcare workers, TikTok lovers and the optics of "Kung Flu" while winning in 2024 by softening on China and Tiktok. Stop Asian Hate was genuinely the last moment of left idpol unity before its collapse and that fake crisis was endorsed even by conservatives who focused on "who exactly are beating up Asians in SF π€." Asian directors won best picture three years in a row without any DEI accusations. Asians shifted right in 2024 and successfully rolled back Affirmative Action alongside whites but the focus is only on Arabs and Latinx for "betraying" the coalition. Even in this current moment Indian hate in the US and Canada is at all time high while Asians (who drive up the cost of housing more than Indians I bet) are enjoying record high Q scores. All while the stereotypical "virgin" has slowly shifted from pittiable East Asian math nerd to detestable South Asian bobs and vagene type. The entire political spectrum sees East Asian countries as the pinnacle of culture and India as a smelly den of male feminists. Jews are kicked out of leftism for their loyalty to a Muslim oppressing ethnostate while activists download little redbook. Every town has multiple boba shops and the number continues to increase.
Not sure if it's all a psyop or the payoff of several decades of keeping your head down and doing your homework but I'm wondering how much longer it can continue.

Years ago I ripped the DKD soundtrack off YouTube by searching various things + also took requests from people here and then I renamed the files to basic, ordered numbers because that seemed to make the most sense. You can see this here:
https://fsdfsd.net/MarseyWorld/MarseyWorld/src/branch/master/files/assets/events/DKD/music
However
I want to add the Now Playing to the bottom of the page, a really small footer with a cute lil equalizer graphic or something beside it. This will apply to all holigays. But it's DKD right now so let's tackle that.
Identify the tracks, include a link to the youtube video it came from to prove you're not full of shit. 500 per track identified. Obviously tell me which file the link corresponds to.
Do as many or as few as you want, some are actually really easy like the fricking DKC Funky's Flights theme.
Be first or be broke.
Thank you me because this is all happening as I have had a tab open since yesterday morning with some sort of Kong remix playing and I need to know what it is because it's SO GOOD.
