YSK - for all the things that can make your life easier!

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must begin with YSK.

All posts must begin with YSK. If you're a Mastodon user, then include YSK after @youshouldknow. This is a community to share tips and tricks that will help you improve your life.



Rule 2- Your post body text must include the reason "Why" YSK:

**In your post's text body, you must include the reason "Why" YSK: It’s helpful for readability, and informs readers about the importance of the content. **



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding non-YSK posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-YSK posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

If you are a member, sympathizer or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- The majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Unless included in our Whitelist for Bots, your bot will not be allowed to participate in this community. To have your bot whitelisted, please contact the moderators for a short review.



Rule 11- Posts must actually be true: Disiniformation, trolling, and being misleading will not be tolerated. Repeated or egregious attempts will earn you a ban. This also applies to filing reports: If you continually file false reports YOU WILL BE BANNED! We can see who reports what, and shenanigans will not be tolerated. We are not here to ban people who said something you don't like.

If you file a report, include what specific rule is being violated and how.

Why are people not protesting ? Businesses should stop buying Microsoft licenses and that should force Microsoft to remove bill gates completely from the company. Same should be done with Musk, trump etc.

We need to be real careful here. I'm not defending Gates but let's not throw logic out the window here.

Those files include everything. Including things that the dude who wears diapers and a tinfoil hat in his mom's basement has reported to the FBI.

It would be so, so, soooo easy for the DOJ to salt the files with some wild stuff and bait everyone, then turn around, prove it wrong, and then use that as justification for ignoring everything else.

Obviously there's too much smoke for there not to be a fire, but we HAVE to assume bad faith on the part of the DOJ and MAGA and proceed accordingly.

I can't believe Bill Gates got STDs from Russian girls, his ex-wife Melinda, AND Elon Musk!

[–] Dojan@pawb.social 1 points 5 hours ago

I can believe.

This is a draft email from Epstein to himself. We don't have the actual emails that prove any of this.

[–] webadict@lemmy.world 4 points 14 hours ago (4 children)

But Bill Gates did make a generous donation in Epstein's name only a couple hours after this draft, so, you know, definitely not conclusive.

[–] GroundedGator@lemmy.world 3 points 9 hours ago

Seems this might be the reference.

The New Yorker story also implicated multi-billion dollar philanthropist Bill Gates. The emails between Ito and Epstein showed that Gates was “directed by Epstein” to donate $2 million to the research lab in October 2014, six years after Epstein was found guilty of soliciting prostitution from a minor.

[–] RagingRobot@lemmy.world 3 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

He donated money after he got STDs? That doesn't add up. Wouldn't he be upset about that?

Blackmail payment

Seconding request for proof. Or delete if you don't have it.

If the guy never updates or responds, this should be ignored for the reasons in my other comment.

[–] ChairmanMeow@programming.dev 3 points 13 hours ago

This article doesn't seem to claim that, do you have a link?

Hindustantimes.....isnt that a bullshit clickbait site?

[–] neeeil@lemmy.world 7 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Websites like these have their world class "journalists" source information directly from reddit.

[–] ragebutt@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 10 hours ago

Account that’s less than a day old replying to an account that’s less than 2 days old both attacking the source despite the source being a document from the file dump that is easily sourced and one of epsteins emails

[–] RagingRobot@lemmy.world 1 points 11 hours ago

The people of Hindustan would be so disappointed in you lol

[–] irelephant@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 11 hours ago

He was probably relying on ineffective Microsoft antivirus protection.

The article says that Elon was asking if he could visit Epstein's island in 2013, but it doesn't say whether he did. I'm sure he did end up going, probably lots of times, but it's funny to think that Elon is such an awkward loser that at the time, even Epstein might have been ducking his calls and trying to avoid hanging out with him.

[–] spring_cedar_dust@reddthat.com 32 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

He did try again. Epstein asked his assistant to get rid of him. Search Elon wild party

[–] IronBird@lemmy.world 3 points 11 hours ago

Bill Gates doesn’t work for Microsoft? He’s only a shareholder these days.

[–] gaymer@aussie.zone 9 points 18 hours ago

He doesn't own the pleb shares which most 9-5s buy. I think he has class A and also his foundation is in the board.
