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.

The irony is you are using words, how droll. Very boring take.
