Fight or flight

Fight or flight is the physical reaction of an organism to a perceived threat within the environment. It is an inherent trait found in all animals (including humans) that ultimately promotes the survival of a species (via natural selection).

When the fight or flight response is activated, the cardiorespiratory system is given immediate emphasis while the digestive system takes a step back, thus why one loses appetite during a stressful event. Generally, the organism's body gets prepared to either deal with the threat or flee away from it.

Fight or flight response makes up the first stage of the general adaptation syndrome.
When the tiger pounced on the gazelle, the gazelle's fight or flight response kicked in and is what enabled the gazelle to flee from the tiger in a swift and nimble manner.

No Surprises Wedding

A "No Surprises Wedding," or NSW, is a wedding invitation designation that tells attendees that there can be no unplanned announcements, engagements, events or speeches at the wedding - all actions must be pre-approved by the couple. Anyone who performs an unapproved "surprise" will be asked to leave the wedding early.

This designation comes from Reddit, where so many stories of bad wedding behavior indicated a need to communicate expectations for the wedding behavior of attendees.
You are cordially invited to the nuptials of Brian and Tom on October 31 at noon.

Please note that this wedding is child-free (under 10) and a No Surprises Wedding (NSW). Reach out to wedding planner Sami Smith to request approvals or exceptions; please note that exceptions will be rare. Limited child care for under-10s will be available. All approvals will be noted and included in planning. Unapproved, or surprise exceptions, will result in guests being asked to leave.

Texas is categorized as a swing state in presidential elections, but has voted for Republicans more times than for Democrats in recent history. As such, as demographics change political alignments, some Democrats believe that Texas will vote blue, or Democratic, due to their Hispanic and African American voters, who often align themselves with the Democratic Party's liberal wing.

Blexas has been cited as possible in the upcoming decades, but only if Democrats continue to win the Hispanic vote in bigger margins.
Democrat 1: What is your prediction for the 2024 presidential election?
Democrat 2: Well uh, Blexas!
Democrat 1: You've been saying that since 2008 though.
