Not to go off on a tangent, but it's "assault weapon" that's the boogeyman term, meant to confuse the uninformed with assault rifles. Assault rifles are select fire, full auto and burst fire capable rifles. Assault weapons are semi-automatic rifles that have the same or similar cosmetics as assault rifles.

The trick is a person latches onto the adjective, not the noun, and a rifle is a kind of weapon, so it makes it seem like assault rifles fit under assault weapons, when I'm fact it's the opposite.

I didn't? I just said that if you cut animal products, making sure you're getting vital nutrients is important. Clearly I wandered into a hive of American vegans, so I'm just going to block this community, everyone in it, and move on with my life.

I'm not saying veganism isn't viable as a meal plan, because it toally is! Like you expertly explained, there are considerations you have to take in to cut meat from your diet, and supplements you have to be sure to seek out in vegan-specific foods.

I agree, but I think it's more than just not liking something. There's an active component to it, like if through your hatred of mayo you were trying to ban its use on sandwiches and in sauces.

Whatever you say, bud. It's not worth the time or crayons to debate you further on this.

"Obvously..." /s

Or, when you run the numbers yourself, you realize that it's about as dangerous as offshore wind turbines are to birds and fish. Which is to say, not very, but a lot of extremely dumb people still parrot it.

Have you tried cleaning the port out? My last phone had issues with a wobbly cable and not always connecting when I plugged it in. Turned out a bunch of pocket lint and other debris got packed in there, and once I cleaned it out it worked like new. Had to do that twice in the 6 or so years I owned that phone.
