How does one hide an STD from ~~my~~ one's wife? I mean there are so many ways to do it and we all know them, but still though, how exactly?

It's not like you have sex with your wife

I mean, we do, but not you

Easily, I imagine. I doubt she was chomping at the bit to get at that dick.

*champing

She wasn't chomping nothin'

I also choose this guy's wife.

[–] jmill@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 week ago

I wouldn't recommend it, sounds like she has an STD.

I read the file. Epstein gave him antibiotics he could slip to Melinda without her knowing.

Of course, slipping her antibiotics is the key! Such a brilliant plan pretty much straight out of a sitcom. The ultrarich are so smart!

What is the specific allegation in the email?

The email from Epstein, dated July 18, 2013, contains a direct quote making the claim. Epstein wrote: “TO add insult to the injury you them (sic) implore me to please delete the emails regarding your std, your request that I provide you antibiotics that you can surreptitiously give to Melinda, and the description of your penis.” The documents also include draft messages, purportedly from a Gates advisor, referencing “helping Bill to get drugs, in order to deal with consequences of sex with russian girls.”

Those two links are not the same article. Unless Financial Times is doing a bait and switch.

No, no, Bill Gates has always been a pure and wholesome billionaire. There's no way any of this could be true!
