I think exercise is helpful to everyone who experiences stressful or frustrating situations regularly. Our bodies are still built for fight or flight responses, and physical exertion helps get rid of that stress response.

Along with a tent, bedroll, extra rope, chalk and a ten foot pole, flour is always among the first items I buy as a player. Mostly to make it easier to spot invisible creatures, but a dust explosion would be right up my alley!

Streets usually have a higher density of residential buildings and stores along them, while roads connect between the populated areas, and typically lead through mountains, fields or forests.

It may be the exact moment that the horse tears open a bag of grain, spilling it's contents. Not sure though.

That's the tricky thing with biases, right? They're formed by our experiences. My experience interacting with vegans has clearly been different from yours, so that may explain why you would think I'm denying reality. Anyway, I hope you can keep an open mind when talking to vegans who use the word carnist. Not all of them are bigots :)

Or maybe your opinion on what the term means is influenced by your biases about what vegans are like and act like towards carnists? If you interact with vegans on a friendly basis rather than assuming that they're trying to insult you or that they're calling your choices morally repugnant, you may find that it'soften used descriptively rather than to pass judgement. I have personally seen the term used neutrally more often than I've seen it used insultingly. It was also not coined as a slur: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carnism by the way, Melany Joy was describing exactly what you mentioned: The pervasiveness of carnism, which makes it an unconscious automatism for many people.

Veganism is an -ism as well. You're getting worked up about a term that, at its core, just means that a person believes it is normal, natural and necessary to eat animals and animal products. Omnivore on the other hand means that you are able to digest and eat all kinds of food. If someone calls you a carnist, then the word itself is about as insulting as using "vegan" to describe vegans. Whatever derogatory meaning "evangelical" vegans put behind it is inferred from context or tone, not the word itself.

Or a woman showed up to the table and had the gall to be better at the game than him lol.

Not to be pedantic, but cats are mesopredators.

I thought that it was the opposite even, and that walking barefoot from time to time strengthens certain parts of your feet and legs that would otherwise be underused.

Bottom left looks like forced organ harvesting? Not sure how often that actually happens to children, but the world is a fucked up place so it's possible I suppose.
