i wonder why epstein wanted to have the dalai lama for dinner, surely it was purely interest in tibetan buddhism

Epstein’s entire deal was making connections with influential people. It’s not remotely surprising that he’d want to have links with someone like the Dalai Lama.

Influence can be used to obtain goods and services

What kind of services

[–] BabyTurtles@hexbear.net 7 points 1 day ago

Would the "goods" happen to be people and under 18?
