>>You mean aside his wife divorcing him over his relationship with Epstein

She divorced him over Gates cheating, not over the relationship with Epstein - if I'm wrong please correct me.

>>like to ignore and pretend it doesn't exist

I honestly don't want to, like the other commented said "just google" - so I "just googled" and none of the articles I found suggest they had anything beyond a very superficial relationship where they met a few times. Again, if I'm wrong please correct me.

Yeah, sure. Just cheating.

>In a 2022 interview, Melinda said, “I did not like that he had meetings with Jeffrey Epstein, no. I made that clear to him,” per Page Six, adding that she only met the child sex offender once because she “wanted to see who” he was. “I regretted it the second I walked in the door,” she went on, adding, “He was abhorrent. He was evil personified. My heart breaks for these women.” https://www.hindustantimes.com/world-news/us-news/melinda-ga...

If you just Google what Bill Gates later said then of course you will find how he only met a few times. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/10/12/business/jeffrey-epstein-...

Well but that's exactly what I was asking for - thank you for posting this. I asked to be corrected and I was.

But let me quote what the article you linked says:

"claimed that Bill had met the disgraced financier on “numerous occasions.” One of those meetings allegedly lasted for hours."

Does that sound to you like they had a deep relationship of any kind? I'm just trying to form my own view on it - and that just doesn't read to me like the kind of relationship that people try to portray it as. If I met with someone "numerous times, sometimes for hours" you wouldn't immediately think we are friends or that we even share any values together, would you?

I can't access that without a sub, you'll have to give me the jist or some quotes.

Bro you're on Hacker News and you don't know how to get past a NY Times paywall. Embarrassing, though unsurprising given your blue-pilled beliefs.

What do you mean by blue pilled beliefs?

And thank you for the archive link, I didn't know you could do it this way. If this surprises you then I'd link to link you this:

By blue pilled I mean mainstream basic bitch beliefs. The type of shit that indoctrinated slaves believe. That may be harsh language to you, but it is what it is. If you're human, I have sympathy for your plight.

You are welcome for the archive link. I already knew what XKCD comic you were going to post before I opened it. The irony is that you don't know the basics of hacking and news, yet want to pontificate on the highest levels of reality. That is evidence of a skill issue, which permeates everything about your life, and resultingly, all your beliefs and writings.

> blue pilled > mainstream > basic bitch > skill issue

The irony of thinking you are edgy and enlightened, while all your beliefs and idioms are exactly the new mainstream norms is pretty funny. The basic-bitchness sneaks on you faster than you can see it coming I guess.
