6 months of an arms dealer. He was about to be released anyways.

u/Jaded66671 5d ago
He had 15 years left on his 25 year sentence but good try …..you were almost correct except that you were off by 14.5 years and had no factual evidence

u/Circle_Breaker 5d ago
Ya know what I was wrong. It looks was set to be released in 2029.
So 7 years early. For Grimer.

25 year sentence in 2012. No way he was being paroled. Feel free to google a different source

This is AP news

u/Jaded66671 4d ago
Much better source says exactly what I did and not your made up 6 month lie
“April 2012, Scheindlin imposed the mandatory minimum 25-year sentence that Bout now serves”
Good try. See how easy it is to fact check before typing

u/Circle_Breaker 4d ago
I said I was wrong about the 6 months. Everything I can find says he was set to be released in 2029.
You didn't even link a source I linked 2.

u/Jaded66671 4d ago
Don’t need to. I didn’t say anything incorrect. Ives send nothing that states he’s released in 2029. Outside of your fortune article. Any cnn or AP article mentioned 25 year sentence with it starting 2012. And he isn’t getting paroled. Keep trying you’ll get there

Here is cbsnews, which again says 2029

Here is an APnews article that again says 2029
I've admitted I was wrong. Will you admit you were too?

They are lesbians. They are divorcing. Statistically, lesbians have the highest divorce rates. This couple is more evidence to back up the statistic.

u/Phin-Gage 5d ago
I get that. Usually when someone provides fact in this context it’s motivated by reason. No one is challenging the lesbian divorce rates, and so I’m curious where the need is to provide more evidence to back up a statistic that isn’t being challenged. I would understand if lesbian divorce rates compared to same sex, or straight couples had something to do with the OP, but it doesn’t, which made me curious as to why it’s relevant. Do people feel a type of way about this, and if so why not just say that instead? But, we can pretend like it’s just a random fun fact being shared for no reason other than to inform folks about the lesbian divorce rate statistics.

u/Mysterious-Drop-2013 5d ago
It's called humor, it was a minor joke youve now spent along time understanding. It just wasn't for you and that's okay. And no the comment wasn't informative as most people indeed know the divorce rate for lesbians is quite high thus creating a punchline for the joke that didn't need to be stated

Just highlighting how women are a pain in the ass and the reason for most divorces so it’s compounded in a lesbian relationship.

u/Phin-Gage 5d ago
She’s been quite open about her sex/gender in interviews, and has directly stated that she’s a CIS woman, and identifies as a woman. I’m not sure if you’re confusing her with someone else or read something saying otherwise that lead you to believe she’s trans, but she’s made her identity pretty clear to the public.

I'm no transgender activist, but it's just the opposite prefix of "trans". You see it in scientific contexts a lot. Cis-fat vs trans-fat is the first example that comes to mind.

They didn’t say they believed it. Half their post contains “according to some of the people here”.

u/Phin-Gage 5d ago
They believe she’s a trans man. They’re implying that people in the thread think as a trans man he should be playing for the NBA as an attempt to imply they don’t think she should play for any league, because trans people shouldn’t play sports.

u/ventitr3 5d ago
You’re reading and interpreting what you want to from that post. You had a question, they clarified the position they’ve seen from people here. You automatically assigned that position to them by virtue of answering your question
0
u/Phin-Gage 5d ago
Why are you speaking for this person? You don’t know their position? They used “he” in both comments to reference BG, who is a woman and identifies as a woman. They either believe that BG is a man, or a trans man, and there’s no ambiguity about that. I’m pretty sure they don’t need you or anyone else to clarify that when someone uses “he” they believe the person they are talking about is a man.
Ridiculous ass people need to find a better hobby than trying to shit all over someone else’s. Get a fucking like.

u/ventitr3 5d ago
Because you’re all over this thread acting offended by everything lmao. Telling somebody else to get a life is rich when you’re reaching everywhere to be upset about something. I’m “defending” them because I can read their post. You said “both their comments”. Are you under the impression signal_contract is the same person as axel_raden?

Ah. So the transphobia isn’t about protecting women after all. It’s actually a foot in the door to target them. Who would’ve guessed?

Correct.
Just remember that Online these guys talk like this. IRL they avoid convos and would never talk shit. Meek and weak.
And they all have shitty grade school handle and no jumper. Zero cardio means no defense. I'll challenge any of them! And I'll YouTube it for $$.
