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.

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.

I think the literal translation of the name is “rot away coffee” so it might have something to do with tuberculosis or leprosy? The rest is reserved for special occasions, unless you’re from Rotterdam of course.

In the Netherlands we have “fuck off coffee”, to be served after dinner.

Yeah sure. Maybe you could make the argument that humans should leave stuff like that for other scavengers who need the nutrients to survive, and instead opt for plant foods. But at those edge scenarios you would then also have to take into account the impact that plant agriculture has on wildlife. It’s quite possible that scavenging and gathering is the most vegan option, but seeing how it’s neither viable for a lot of people nor something that often comes up in daily life, it’s easier to just generalize vegan food as plant based.

Yeah I know. I’m open for repertoire repeat appointments :D

I’d probably donate a couple of liters if a vampire asked for it.

I think that may have been a joke.

But “You’re already fluffy” works without another main verb?

This is the stuff that SCP’s are made of.

I’m not gonna dox myself here bg linking my adress, but rest assured: I have been living in apartments all my adult life, and it’s been fine. The problems you describe are not inherent to apartments but rather the way landlords handle things. With better regulations and organizations that help renters assert their rights, it can be a good way to house people.

Yes, occasionally hearing your neighbors is just as inhumane as having no shelter, water and heating.

I play heroes of the storm vs AI. It’s pretty fun.

Just write off the day and start again tomorrow. Maybe set a bit lower calorie goals for the next couple of weeks.

Imagine someone who has his mouth wide open, tongue sticking up toward the roof of jis mouth, with his head tilted back as I screaming to the sky. You see the tongue and mouth from below due to perspective, as well as head tilt.
