Didn't even think of Bill Gates since he stepped down from his leadership position in 2008. I didn't realize he was still a board member til 2020 (just looked that up) so I guess yeah, it's got a pedo associated.

That makes me sad.

And yes, I have been living in a hole. For my own mental health I don't look at news beyond my state's borders because I'm highly reactive and get in fights in the comment sections.
