Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Is that quote about Epstein or Bill Gates? Or both?

[–] massive_bereavement@fedia.io 21 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

That's a good question and I wonder how aware of his exhusband's fast "friendship" and the fact he was a guest to his island in multiple occasions, because their divorce came quickly after the revelation.

For the record, Gates did NOT go to the island, ever. Not even once.

He was a frequent guest at Epstein's Manhattan penthouse, but never the island. He refuses to say why he never went to the island, other than saying it's not for him. It is rumored he caught an STD from someone at the penthouse.

None of this excuses Gates, since he clearly associated with Epstein. Just correcting the record on a detail.

Dude, it's right there in the title.

It was a rhetorical question. I know she said that about Epstein, but what about her husband who socialised with him plus the business practises at Microsoft

I am sure she was fine with it because she married him and grew rich off his unethical business practices. She got what she wanted.
