but my friend corrected me and said i meant “people who get pregnant”, because men (like trans men but still men) can get pregnant

I think the correct response is to ask that friend why are they trying to pivot the discussion from women abortion. Was she trying to rail you up? Discourage your argument or position by implying you're not good enough?

Honestly, she sounds like she preemptively gets offended on other people behalf, or like someone who weaponizes "being more PC than you".

Or she knows a pregnant man (I think the stats were about 100 a year get pregnant, most of them immediately go to a clinic) personally and decided it's the perfect time to use that fact to win the discussion? Or virtue signaling? I mean I'm assuming something is wrong with her, because that situation is random and unexpected.

    I'm all for it. But let's not forget Russia paying reparations to Poland, Estonia, Finland, Romania, Latvia, Lithuania, Moldova, Georgia and Tuva.

    Americans aren’t being influenced by spooky foreigner actors on the other side of the world

    Literally the link you posted contradicts it

    Washington Post: Russian trolls on Twitter had little influence on 2016 voters

    I feel like we're going in circles. Happy New Year!

    complete amino complexes and b12

    Tis a question of "how much of it can be absorbed by humans".

    For example absorption rate of vitamin A from animal sources is ~90%, but about 10% from veggies (if you use vegetable fat it's a bit higher, animal fat even more higher, cook it, juice it, the absorption rate plateaues at 30%; and technically it's not a vitamin A but something that will become a vitamin A when dissolved in fat) - and the amount of it in veggies is lower compared to animal byproducts.

    The healthiest take is to eat the best quality food you can afford that isn't ultra processed.

    Vegan food can be slop - see beyond meat, meat substitutes, lab grown meat etc. Heck, even South Park made an episode about it.

    (I know you meant "the healthiest take in the vegan-nonvegan dichotomy", but I just couldn't help myself, tee hee)
