    An hour

    Note, this can differ by region. For example, "an historic ..." is common in the UK, whereas it would be "a historic ..." in the US due to accent differences.

      Tim Apple is gay... I'm not aware of any reports of Epstein trafficking boys, but it would not be at all surprising.

      To be completely honest, I had forgotten. His sexuality really makes no difference to me. It's just sad to see so many folks sucking up to Trump.

      And no I wouldn't be surprised, while true Epstein didn't traffick boys, I would be surprised if he didn't have some connections to that.
      Again nothing on Tim's preference for male or female or whatever he likes...but god it seems rich folks can't help but be into horrible things.

            His sexuality doesn't mean anything to me either, I was just pointing out the incongruity.

              Honestly I am pretty sure this is a bribe to exempt Apple from tariffs. Billionaires care more about their profit than children being harm. It’s the sad truth.

              But Apple cares about children. They were the first to run CSAM scans on their cloud storage and devices.

                  Is it a bribe or ransom? Trump is extracting favors by threat.

                    I had to look it up: 24 karat is the purest form of gold. So yeah it's a gold bar 100% lmfao

                    Cook isn't handling it like solid gold though (it looks too light). I bet it's 24 karat gold plated zinc.

                      On nerdy sites like Lemmy people tend to fawn over Google and they can do no wrong

                      Uhhhh... What. My experience has been the literal opposite. People here hate Google

                        I don't use apple for the same reason I don't use fisher price as an adult. You are free to use your technology made for babies that's beside the point. The point is that the article in discussion is about Tim Cook and Apple providing a recent bribe to Trump.

                        Your comment is providing no value. You are attempting whataboutism and really shows the type of person you are more than anything.

                        To be clear, if googl was caught bribing and someone said "buh buh buh Apple!" Id be saying the same thing. Stop sucking dick like they owe you something to take a side.

                        When Google bribes Trump with a 24k gold gift let's discuss Google then ok?

                        So if it’s only an 18k carat gift it’s just fine? Because Google are the good guys

                          More likely zinc or brass.

                              I don't know about "proudly." Preferred to Apple? Sure.

                                  I’m not buying any more iPhones. I got used to them and just continued buying them. But no more.

                                    Brass

                                    Brash

                                    No, I mean brass: "figurative. Taken as a type of insensibility to shame: hence, Effrontery, impudence, unblushingness." (DEFINED)

                                    Brash would not have been appropriate (defined as "self-assertive in a rude, noisy, or overbearing way"). Tim was not rude, noisy or overbearing, but he was absolutely shameless!

                                    Huh, TIL. That's a very uncommon usage in my area.
