Have Bill gates in a sleep over, who will tell you the secrets to screwing people over and spyware tricks

or dining with the foot fungus eating master, Richard Stallman, who will explain in great detail about the origins of GNU and why that finnish guy made GNU largely small in the grand scheme of things.

Can I have a concealed weapon as I meet gates? I'll take one for the team

[–] EABOD25@lemm.ee 2 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Damn dude. Why so much hate for Bill? Did I miss something?

[–] MagisterSieran@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 4 months ago (1 children)

...He’s a billionaire.

[–] EABOD25@lemm.ee -4 points 4 months ago (2 children)

So he needs to die? What kind of sick logic is that?

[–] Rivalarrival@lemmy.today 7 points 4 months ago (1 children)

It would be a much better world with a bounty on the head of anyone worth more than a billion dollars. Pay your employees more, charge your customers less, divest your ownership interests. Buy more products and services from the market, rather than lending to it.

[–] EABOD25@lemm.ee -4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

But you're worth more than a billion dollars to someone

[–] Rivalarrival@lemmy.today 6 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Then that someone can kill me.

[–] EABOD25@lemm.ee 1 points 4 months ago

Well, at least you're dedicated to your ideology. Good trait to have I suppose...

[–] Darkassassin07@lemmy.ca 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

You only amass that kind of wealth and power by stepping on the backs of those you deem beneath you.

Billionaires are a cancer on society.

[–] EABOD25@lemm.ee -2 points 4 months ago

Money and greed are the cancer. To be honest I'm not sure if I would be a different person if I had the same amount of wealth as say like Bill Gates. I'd like to think I would be willing to distribute more accordingly, but I've never been put in that situation before. Can you sat any different?

Bill was friends with Epstein after he was convicted for pedophilia they even had sleepovers in Bills mansion.

'Would you rather' would be a fun community.

I've thought about making it but stopped since I already mod like 7.

There is one on Lemmyworld but it's lemmyworld

[–] maliciousonion@lemmy.ml 1 points 3 months ago

What's wrong with lemmyworld?

[–] TootSweet@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago

Damn. Um... Neither, please?

I'd love to have steak sitting across from Linus. Bradley Kuhn from the SFC is an awesome guy.

But if I had to pick between Gates and Stallman... I guess Stallman so I can grill him about why he's been sabotaging the the Free Software movement so badly.

[–] CaptainBasculin@lemmy.ml 3 points 4 months ago

Double it and give it to the next person

Bill Gates: My mommy was on the board at IBM and bought me a monopoly. I took that lesson to heart for the rest of my life and always pursued back door deals and monopolies.

Richard Stallman: I told you how you would find yourself without public commons in a neo feudal dystopia that would destroy the very fabric of democracy because it was the obvious outcome. I gave you fucktards an alternative but you clowns were far too stupid to listen and threw away freedom and democracy. Now you have the worst leader in the history of the country by every metric known, and a traitor that attempted a coup just like Hitler, saying the same things as Hitler, running on a ballet for leader one again, while you do not have freedom of information because of the digital coup I tried to prevent and warn you about. You mock what you lack the depth to understand and in so doing you are the joke.

[–] Kit@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 4 months ago

Stallman is the easy answer. We can play a board game after dinner.

Do I also have to partake of the foot fungus?

[–] shinigamiookamiryuu@lemm.ee 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I hope Bill wasn't encouraging of him, but I wouldn't blame them just for being friends and having sleepovers (as long as they didn't bring anyone).

[–] slacktoid@lemmy.ml 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Bill was on the Epstein list

[–] shinigamiookamiryuu@lemm.ee 1 points 4 months ago
[–] slacktoid@lemmy.ml 2 points 4 months ago

I'd rather hang out with foot fungus eating Stallman than hang out with friend of convicted pedophile Bill Gates, who hung out even after Epstein was convicted for pedophilia. what about you OP?
